Building from source

1. Get the latest release from GitHub by cloning the repo:
   $ git clone https://github.com/ksnip/kColorPicker
2. Change to repo directory:
   $ cd kColorPicker
3. Make new build directory and enter it:
   $ mkdir build && cd build
4. Create the makefile and build the project:
   $ cmake .. && make
   to build with Qt6, pass -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=true to the cmake command
5. Install shared library (not required when only using the example):
   $ sudo make install
6. Run the example application:
   $ ./example/kColorPicker-example

Shared vs Static

You can either build the project as shared library by providing the flag -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON to cmake or -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to build as static library. On Windows we currently can only build as static library.

Integrate library in project

1. Let cmake find the shared library, optionally with version
   set(KCOLORPICKER_MIN_VERSION "0.x.x")
   to build with Qt5:
   find_package(kColorPicker-Qt5 ${KCOLORPICKER_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)
   to build with Qt6:
   find_package(kColorPicker-Qt6 ${KCOLORPICKER_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)

2. Link the library with your application target_link_libraries(myApp kColorPicker)
