Dependancy

Red Panda C++ need Qt 5 (>=5.12) to build.

Windows

For Windows 7 or later:

Library + Toolchain \ Target x86 x64 ARM64
MSYS2 + GNU-based MinGW ✔️ ✔️ ❌
MSYS2 + LLVM-based MinGW ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
Qt.io + MinGW ✔️ ✔️ ❌
Qt.io + MSVC ✔️ ✔️ ❌
vcpkg + MSVC ✔️ ✔️ ❌

Notes for Windows on ARM:

  • Red Panda C++ can be built for ARM64 ABI only on Windows 11 ARM64, while it is supposed (but not tested) to run on Windows 10 ARM64.
  • The ARM64EC (“emulation compatible”) ABI, which highlights interoperability with x64, is currently not supported.
    • ARM64EC does not bring significant benefit, since Red Panda C++ can be built to ARM64 classic ABI.
    • However, ARM64EC will allow users to use their favorite input methods, fancy Qt styles.
  • With the ARM32 deprecation in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25905, ARM32 support will never be added.

For legacy Windows (NT 5.1 – 6.0):

Library + Toolchain \ Target x86 x64
Qt 5.6 from patched source + MinGW ✔️ ✔️

Notes for legacy Windows:

  • Supported Windows versions:
    • Windows XP SP3 or later;
    • Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition (a.k.a. Windows XP x64 Edition) SP2 or later.
  • Windows 7 x64 or later required as build host.
  • Here is a script for building Qt 5.6 from source alongside official Qt installation (with Qt.io MinGW GCC 8.1.0).

MSYS2 Qt Library with MinGW Toolchain (Recommended)

Red Panda C++ should work with any MinGW toolchain from MSYS2, including GCCs and Clangs in three GNU-based environments (MINGW32, MINGW64 and UCRT64), and Clangs in three LLVM-based environments (CLANG32, CLANG64 and CLANGARM64; see also MSYS2’s document), while the following toolchains are frequently tested:

  • MINGW32 GCC,
  • MINGW64 GCC,
  • UCRT64 GCC (recommended for x64)
  • CLANGARM64 Clang (the only and recommended toolchain for ARM64).

Official distributions of Red Panda C++ are built with MINGW32 GCC and MINGW64 GCC.

Prerequisites:

  1. Windows 8.1 x64 or later, or Windows 11 ARM64.
  2. Install MSYS2.
  3. In selected environment, install toolchain and Qt 5 library: 
    pacman -S $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-toolchain $MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX-qt5-static

For build only:

  1. In selected environment, set related variables: 
    SRC_DIR="/c/src/redpanda-src" # “C:\src\redpanda-src” for example
BUILD_DIR="/c/src/redpanda-build" # “C:\src\redpanda-build” for example
INSTALL_DIR="/c/src/redpanda-pkg" # “C:\src\redpanda-pkg” for example
  2. Navigate to build directory: 
    rm -rf "$BUILD_DIR" # optional for clean build
mkdir -p "$BUILD_DIR" && cd "$BUILD_DIR"
  3. Configure, build and install: 
    $MSYSTEM_PREFIX/qt5-static/bin/qmake PREFIX="$INSTALL_DIR" "$SRC_DIR/Red_Panda_CPP.pro"
mingw32-make -j$(nproc)

  1. Install dependency: Docker or Podman.

    Extra requirements for Windows host:

    • Docker uses WSL 2 based engine, or enable file sharing on the project folder (Settings > Resources > File sharing);
    • PowerShell (Core) or Windows PowerShell.

  2. Prepare build environment. Linux host:

    ARCH=x86_64 # or aarch64, riscv64
DOCKER=docker # or podman
$DOCKER build -t redpanda-builder-$ARCH packages/appimage/dockerfile-$ARCH

    Windows host:

    $ARCH = "x86_64" # or "aarch64", "riscv64"
$DOCKER = "docker" # or "podman"
& $DOCKER build -t redpanda-builder-$ARCH packages/appimage/dockerfile-$ARCH

  3. Build AppImage. Linux host:

    ARCH=x86_64
DOCKER=docker
$DOCKER run --rm -v $PWD:/build/RedPanda-CPP -e CARCH=$ARCH redpanda-builder-$ARCH /build/RedPanda-CPP/packages/appimage/01-in-docker.sh

    Windows host:

    $ARCH = "x86_64"

    ./dist/RedPandaIDE-x86_64.AppImage # or *-aarch64.AppImage, *-riscv64.AppImage

Emulated Native Build for Foreign Architectures

It is possible to build Red Panda C++ for foreign architectures using targets’ native toolchains with QEMU user space emulation.

Note: Always run emulated native build in containers or jails. Mixing architectures may kill your system.

For Linux or BSD host, install statically linked QEMU user space emulator (package name is likely qemu-user-static) and make sure that binfmt support is enabled.

For Windows host, Docker and Podman should have QEMU user space emulation enabled. If not,

  • For Docker: 
    docker run --rm --privileged multiarch/qemu-user-static:register
  • For Podman, whose virtual machine is based on Fedora WSL, simply enable binfmt support: 
    wsl -d podman-machine-default sudo cp /usr/lib/binfmt.d/qemu-aarch64-static.conf /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
wsl -d podman-machine-default sudo cp /usr/lib/binfmt.d/qemu-riscv64-static.conf /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
