Developing on GNU/Linux #

Using xmake #

Step 1: Install xmake and Qt 5 #

On Debian or Debian derivatives:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xmake-io/xmake
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade --yes gcc
sudo apt install --yes qtbase5-dev libqt5svg5-dev xmake

Sometimes, we need the latest xrepo:

xrepo update-repo

Step 2: Compile #

xmake

Step 3: Run unit test #

TEXMACS_PATH=$PWD/TeXmacs xmake run --yes --verbose --diagnosis --group=tests

Step 4: Install to build/package #

xmake install -o build/package mogan_install

Step 5: Launch Mogan Editor #

build/package/bin/mogan

Using cmake #

Assuming you are in the project root of mogan:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/software
make install -j12

Now, you can launch Mogan via:

$HOME/software/bin/mogan.sh

Using make install and developing in a separated folder could help you setup a clean environment. If you are familiar with the source code, you can change the TEXMACS_PATH to develop on the Scheme part without having to build the C++ part.
