Compilation Instructions

Prerequisites

To compile 64-bit programs, the following software is required:

GNU make (can be called via the make command, requires version 4.4.x or higher)
g++ (can be called via the g++ command, minimum support for C++17 syntax)
windres.exe (can be called via the windres command)

To compile 32-bit programs, g++ is not required, but a 32-bit g++ is needed, which can be called in the form of the i686-w64-mingw32-g++ command. If it’s not this name, please modify the tenth line of the makefile:

CXX      = i686-w64-mingw32-g++

If you want to compile the installer, the following software is required:

Inno Setup (preferably can be called using the iscc command)

Compile the Software Main Body

Use the command make in the root directory to compile the software main body. Wait for it to complete, then go to ./build/64/ to check the compilation results.

For specific usage details of make, please use make help or go to makefileHelper.txt to view.

Compile the Software Installer

Use iscc /DMyAppArch="64" installer.iss in the root directory to generate the 64-bit software installer. The file name is ./build/installer/installer_x64.exe

Use iscc /DMyAppArch="32" installer.iss in the root directory to generate the 32-bit software installer. The file name is ./build/installer/installer_x86.exe

Note

You can also use Inno Setup’s GUI editor to open installer.iss for compilation, but in this case, to compile a 32-bit installer, you need to modify the content of installer.iss

Find line 11 of the file:

  #define MyAppArch "64"

Modify it to

  #define MyAppArch "32"
