LogDoctor/HOW_TO_COMPILE.md

How to compile

Requirements / Dependencies

• C++ 20
• Qt6 (Framework 6.2+, Linguist, Widgets, Charts, Sql, Network)
• CMake
• gcc / clang / msvc
  
  

Compilation steps

• Prepare a build folder:
  mkdir build && cd build
  
  
• Prepare CMake's build files:
  cmake ../logdoctor -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel
  
  
• Use CMake to compile the entire project:
  cmake --build ./ --target all
  
  

Additional steps

• Linux / BSD:

  • No additional steps. Once compiling is done, you can move the executable file wherever you want and execute it from there.
    
    

• Windows:

  • Create a new folder and move the executable in it:
    mkdir LogDoctor && move LogDoctor.exe .\LogDoctor
    
    
  • Add the needed libraries to the executable's folder:
    
    • You need to know the path of your Qt installation, default is C:\Qt
      
    • You need to know which compiler you used
      cd C:\<path>\<to>\Qt\<version>\<compiler>\bin
      
      
    • Deploy libraries using Qt's additional tool:
      windeployqt.exe C:\<path>\<to>\<LogDoctor>
      
      
  • You can now move the executable's folder wherever you want and execute LogDoctor from there.
    
    

• Mac OS:

  • No additional steps. Once compiling is done, you can use the app bundle to execute LogDoctor.
