Refer to the CI script for the build process on Windows and macOS. This project is based on kwsp/CppTemplate, which uses CMake + Ninja as the build system, VCPKG as the package manager, and Clang as the preferred compiler, with build presets for x64 Windows and arm64 macOS defined in CMakePresets.json. ArpamGui is currently only tested on x64 Windows and arm64 macOS but will probably work on other platforms.
Install Visual Studio, and in the installer, select "Desktop development with C++", and in individual components, make sure the latest MSVC compiler, CMake, Ninja, and optionally Clang is selected. Both CL and Clang work. Ninja builds more than twice as fast as MSBuild so it is preferred.
Install Xcode or command line tools for the Apple Clang compiler. Last I checked, Qt didn't build with Homebrew Clang.
Install the homebrew package manager, then run the following command to install mono (a C# runtime required by VCPKG's NuGet integration), ninja (build system), llvm (for clang-tidy), and some other tools required to build the dependencies.
brew install mono ninja llvm
ln -s $(brew --prefix llvm)/bin/clang-tidy /usr/local/bin/clang-tidy
brew install autoconf autoconf-archive automake libtoolFollow the instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg. On macOS, clone the repo to ~/vcpkg, and on Windows, clone the repo to C:/vcpkg. On Windows, optionally use the vcpkg from the Visual Studio optional component.
In CMake lingo this means CMake build's the build system (Ninja); with VCPKG integration, this step takes ~30min on the first run because it also builds the dependencies defined in vcpkg.json. On subsequent runs, the prebuilt binaries of the dependencies are cached.
Activate the Visual Studio Developer PowerShell and run all commands inside the Developer PowerShell
3 CMake presets are provided for Windows
clang-cl: (preferred) x64 ClangCL + Ninja Multi-configcl: x64 CL + Ninja Multi-configwin64: x64 CL + MSBuild
cmake --preset clang-clclang is defined for Clang + Ninja Multi-Config
cmake --preset clangCMake build presets are defined with the -debug, -relwithdebinfo, and -release for "debug", "release with debug info", and "release" builds. For development, prefer relwithdebinfo unless something can't be debugged in this build.
cmake --build --preset clang-cl-relwithdebinfocmake --build --preset clang-relwithdebinfo
