Building

On Linux & macOS

Dependencies

Qt 5.12.0+ or 6.2.0+ and the QtMultimedia module is needed for building.

On distros such as Arch Linux, Gentoo, Manjaro, Debian Testing, etc., Qt 5.12+ can be installed from the standard repos.

  • Debian Testing
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qt5-make qtbase5-dev-tools qtchooser libqt5multimedia5-dev
  • Arch Linux-based
sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-multimedia
  • macOS
brew install qt5
  • Others

Qt5 may be installed directly from the Qt website, from unofficial installers such as aqtinstall, from community-maintained repositories or built from source.

Here's how one could use aqtinstall to install Qt 5.15.1 (Python 3 needed) alongside with the necessary plugins on a Debian-based distro.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libxkbcommon-x11-0 libpulse-dev -y
python3 -m pip install setuptools wheel
python3 -m pip install py7zr==0.10.1
python3 -m pip install aqtinstall==0.9.7
python3 -m pip install importlib-metadata==2.0.0
python3 -m aqt install 5.15.1 linux desktop -m qtmultimedia -O ~/Qt
export Qt5_Dir=~/Qt5/5.15.1
export Qt5_DIR=~/Qt5/5.15.1
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=~/Qt/5.15.1/gcc_64/plugins
PATH=~/Qt/5.15.1/gcc_64/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Build process

git clone https://github.com/GIBIS-UNIFESP/wiredpanda.git
mkdir wiredpanda/build
cd wiredpanda/build
qmake ../WPanda.pro
make -j

This process could take a while. Once concluded, the binary will be located at wiredpanda/build/app/wiredpanda, on Linux, and at wiredpanda/build/app/wiredpanda.app/Contents/MacOS/wiredpanda on macOS.
