Building From Source

Prerequisites

To build Caelum, you require the following on your system:

• C++20 or above (MSVC will fail to build so go for GNU GCC)
• Qt framework 6.5.0+
• Qt Creator Community 10.0.0+
• (Optional: Linux only) AppImage-Builder

Cloning

Open a command line in your desired folder, clone the repo with the following command

git clone https://github.com/GinOwO/Caelum.git

Building

Windows

1. Open Qt Creator and load the project.
2. Switch to release and then build the project.
3. Copy the release exe from the build folder to your desired folder.
4. Open a command line in your bin folder in the Qt installation, ex: "D:\Qt\6.5.*\mingw_64\bin"
5. Use the set PATH=<path_to_qt>;%PATH% to use the Qt DLLs, ex:set PATH=D:\Qt\Tools\mingw1120_64\bin;%PATH%
6. Now run the windeployqt6 "<path_to_exe>" command to copy necessary DLLs to the exe folder, ex: windeployqt6 "D:\Caelum\Caelum.exe"

Linux

1. Open Qt Creator and load the project.
2. Switch to release and then build the project.
3. Copy the release build from the build folder to your desired folder. Make the directory AppDir/usr/bin and copy the release build to it.
4. Open a terminal in the folder and run appimage-builder --generate && appimage-builder to generate the AppImage.

Usage

1. Launch Caelum.
2. Use the text editor to write your code or use the open file to open an existing file.
3. Click on the Build button or F6 to build the code.
4. Click on the Run button or F5 to run the code and see the output.
