SignalCraft-Designer

A flowchart builder for programming our hardware DSP project.

Installing the dev environment

On windows:

• Install Qt
  • Download: http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/
  • At minimum, install the latest version of Qt 5.5 for MinGW with OpenGL, and the latest version of MinGW in Tools (unless you already have MinGW 32 bit).
• Get the repository using git (https://git-scm.com/downloads)

Building from command line

• Set up Path
  • For permanent setup, add two entries to the Path variable: C:\path_to_Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin and C:\path_to_Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin
  • Otherwise, you can temporarily set up the path for the current terminal by running "C:\path_to_Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin\qtenv2.bat"
• In the repo directory:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ..\SignalCraft.pro -r
mingw32-make

Building with the Qt Creator IDE

• Open Qt Creator
• Click "Open Project", and navigate to SignalCraft.pro
• In the "Configure Project" dialog, a kit called "Desktop Qt 5.5.X MinGW 32bit" should be set up for you. Otherwise you will have to set it up manually by navigating to qmake and g++ inside the Qt install directory.
• You can modify the default build directories by clicking "Details"
• Click "Configure Project" and everything should work as expected

On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint (apt-get)

• Run sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-default
• Get the repository using git (sudo apt-get install git)

Building from the command line

• In the repo directory:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../SignalCraft.pro -r
make

Building with the Qt Creator IDE

• Run sudo apt-get install qtcreator
• Run qtcreator
• Click "Open Project", and navigate to SignalCraft.pro
• In the "Configure Project" dialog, a kit called "Desktop" should be set up for you. Otherwise you will have to set it up manually by navigating to qmake and g++ inside the Qt install directory.
• You can modify the default build directories by clicking "Details"
• Click "Configure Project" and everything should work as expected

On Fedora/RHEL/CentOS (yum)

• Run sudo yum groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
• Run sudo yum install qt5-qtbase-devel qt-devel
• Get the repository using git (sudo yum install git)

Building from the command line

• In the repo directory:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake-qt5 ../SignalCraft.pro -r
make

Building with the Qt Creator IDE

I cannot get this to work, but if you find a way, write about it here!

On Arch (pacman)

• Run sudo pacman -S qt5-base gc make
• Get the repository using git (sudo pacman -S git)

Building from the command line

• In the repo directory:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../SignalCraft.pro -r
make

Building with the Qt Creator IDE

Untested. If you get it to work, put it here!
