Compilation 🛠️

To build the application in your system, you'll need to install the dependencies needed for it and package names might be different for each distribution, see Dependencies below for more information. You can also install most of the Qt dependencies via their installer. If you were developing Qt apps before, you probably already have them.

This project uses CMake build system, so you need to install it in order to build the project (on most Linux distributions it is available in the standard repositories as a package called cmake).

Also you can open and build/debug the project in a C++ IDE. For example, in Qt Creator you should be able to simply open CMakeLists.txt via Open File or Project in the menu after installing CMake into your system. More information about CMake projects in Qt Creator.

Dependencies

• GCC / MSVC
• CMake
• Qt >= 6.5
  • qtbase
  • qtimageformats
  • qtsvg
  • qtmultimedia
  • qttools

Build

1. Clone the repo, make sure to pass --depth=1 to reduce the download size

git clone --depth=1 -b main https://github.com/0xzer0x/quran-companion.git

Windows

2. Install Qt using the online installer, make sure to select Qt Multimedia & Qt image formats

3. Add the Qt bin directory to the system PATH variable, usually C:\Qt\6.x.x\msvc_2019\bin

4. Build (replace 6.x.x with the Qt version you installed)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Qt\6.x.x\msvc_2019" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake.exe --build . --config Release

Linux

2. Install dependencies (through the Qt online installer or using your distro's package manager)

• Ubuntu

sudo apt install build-essential cmake qt6-tools-dev qt6-base-dev qt6-image-formats-plugins qt6-multimedia-dev qt6-l10n-tools qt6-translations-l10n ffmpeg

• Arch linux

sudo pacman -Sy base-devel cmake qt6-base qt6-multimedia qt6-tools qt6-imageformats qt6-translations ffmpeg

3. Build

Note: if you installed Qt through the online installer, you need to pass -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/Qt/6.x.x/gcc_64 to CMake in order for the linker to find the Qt libs

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build .
