Setup project for development

Development setup and getting started

Make sure you follow the setup guide of Qode so that you have a build environment ready for Qode.

MacOSX:

Requirements

  1. Node version: > 11
  2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
  3. Make, GCC v7
  4. Qt (Optional): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from Qode

Only for M1 Macs

Setting up Qt:

You will need to download and install Qt from source since there are no binaries from Qt for M1 yet.

(https://www.reddit.com/r/QtFramework/comments/ll58wg/how_to_build_qt_creator_for_macos_arm64_a_guide/)

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
cd qt5
git checkout 5.15

./init-repository --module-subset=essential -f
git submodule init qtsvg
git submodule update qtsvg

cd ..
mkdir qt5-5.15-macOS-release
cd qt5-5.15-macOS-release

make -j15

make install

This should install Qt into something like this /usr/local/Qt-5.15.3 (your directory can change. This will be displayed when running make)

Now just set export QT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/Qt-5.15.3 in either your .zshrc or .bashrc

Further steps would now use this custom Qt installation.

Windows:

Requirements

  1. Node version: > 11
  2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
  3. Visual Studio Community 2017
  4. Powershell
  5. Qt (Optional): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from Qode

Linux:

Supported versions: Ubuntu 17.10 and up

Requirements

  1. Node version: > 11
  2. CMake 3.1 and up (Installation instructions can be found here: https://cmake.org/install/)
  3. Make, GCC v7, pkg-config
  4. Qt (Optional): Make sure you followed the setup instructions from Qode

On Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install pkg-config build-essential should install everything except Qt5.

Note: If you are using your own version of Qt make sure to

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="<path to qt installation>/5.13.0/gcc_64/lib/pkgconfig"

Common:

  1. Once you have setup the platform specific stuff as mentioned above, follow these:
  2. git clone this repo.
  3. yarn install
  4. yarn build:addon
  5. yarn dev

If you want to run with your own version of Qt make sure to pass qt_home_dir variable when building addon.

npm run rebuild:addon [--qt_home_dir=/path/to/qt]
