Dependancy

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

Windows

I build Red Panda Cpp with the latest gcc and mingw-w64, distributed by msys2 mingw-w64. Visual C++ and other version of gcc may not work.

Install msys2 (https://www.msys2.org)
Use msys2's pacman to install mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 and mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
Install qtcreator
Use qtcreator to open Red_Panda_CPP.pro

Linux

Install gcc and qt5
Optionally install fcitx5-qt for building with static version of Qt
Open Red_Panda_CPP.pro with Qt Creator

qmake variables:

PREFIX: default to /usr/local. It should be set to /usr or /opt/redpanda-cpp when packaging.
LIBEXECDIR: directory for auxiliary executables, default to $PREFIX/libexec. Arch Linux uses /usr/lib.
XDG_ADAPTIVE_ICON=ON: install the icon file following freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification for adaptiveness to themes and sizes. Required by AppImage; recommended for Linux packaging if PREFIX set to /usr.
LINUX_STATIC_IME_PLUGIN=ON (make phase): link to static ime plugin. Recommended for building with static version of Qt; DO NOT set for dynamic version of Qt.

Ubuntu

1. Install Compiler

apt install gcc g++ make gdb gdbserver

2. Install Qt 5 and Other Dependencies

apt install qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5svg5-dev git qterminal

3. Fetch Source Code

git clone https://github.com/royqh1979/RedPanda-CPP.git

4. Build

cd RedPanda-CPP/
qmake Red_Panda_CPP.pro
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install

5. Run

RedPandaIDE

Arch Linux

A reference PKGBUILD is available at packages/archlinux. Build RedPanda C++ with makepkg and then install.

Enter RedPandaIDE to launch RedPanda C++.

Note that makepkg checks out HEAD of the repo, so any change should be committed before building.

AppImage

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.

Prepare build environment. Linux host:

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

Windows host:

$ARCH = "x86_64" # or "aarch64" someday Docker or Podman is available on WoA
$DOCKER = "docker" # or "podman"
& $DOCKER build -t redpanda-builder-$ARCH packages/appimage/dockerfile-$ARCH

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
