Build instructions
Dependencies
- Qt Framework, should work with versions 4.8 and 5.0
From a shell
./configure.sh && make
The configuration script will generate the makefile using qmake and set up the installation directories, for more information run
./configure.sh --help
If the configure script fails despite being in a proper build environment you can run directly qmake on knotter.pro. Be advised that this will make some make targets buggy or unavailable.
If you want to regenerate the files created by the Qt build tools, run
make clean
make
To install the binaries run
make install
To install in a specific directory, you can set INSTALL_ROOT
make install INSTALL_ROOT=/some/directory
The default install prefix is /usr/local (see ./configure.sh --help)
Misc make targets
- dist
- Generate source tarball
- src_doc
- Generate Doxygen documentation from the source files
From Qt Creator
Open knotter.pro and click Build (Ctrl+B) to compile and Run (Ctrl+R) to start Knotter.
Getting the latest sources
- The git repository is located at git://github.com/mbasaglia/Knotter.git
- You can browse the repo on GitHub
- See also Download
Cloning from Git
This source tree uses git submodules, this means that the submodules need to be initialized when the repo is coloned:
#Clone repo
git clone git://github.com/mbasaglia/Knotter.git
# Initialize submodules
git submodule init
# Clone submodules
git submodule update
