A graphical frontend for WeiDU
These instructions are provided in the hopes they will be useful, but I'm afraid I cannot account for all the variability you may encounter. You may need to improvise or act on your own initiative.
To build Zeitgeist you need the following:
-
A C++ compiler that supports C++11. Additionally, you'll need
makeand the other components of a typical tool chain. -
Qt 5: I'm fairly certain it still builds on 5.8 and perhaps something earlier still.
- GNU/Linux: Hit up your package manager; you want the development package.
- Windows: There is an installer available here:
https://www.qt.io/download You can save yourself time and disk
space by only choosing to install the files for the compiler you
intend to use. I use MinGW and have had better success compiling
with Creator than with
qmakeon the command line. Your mileage may vary. - macOS: You might want to use Homebrew. You want the development package.
-
The QuaZip library
- GNU/Linux: You want the development package compiled against Qt 5.
- Windows: I think you'll have to compile the library yourself. You'll need zlib; I'd suggest getting something already compiled from GnuWin32. Refer to the build instructions for QuaZip itself.
- macOS: Homebrew seems to have this packaged, as well. But I don't know if it's the development package or not.
Before you can compile, you'll need to open the file zeitgeist.pro and
edit the library paths for QuaZip. The INCLUDEPATH path should point
to the directory containing the QuaZip header files and the LIBS
path should point to the QuaZip .SO/.DLL file.
At this point, you should, with a little luck, be able to build Zeitgeist using
either qmake to create a Makefile, followed by make, or by using
Qt Creator.
