Developing on GNU/Linux

Step 1: Install xmake and Qt 6

On Debian or Debian derivatives:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xmake-io/xmake
sudo apt install xmake

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --yes build-essential libfontconfig1-dev  qt6-base-dev libqt6svg6-dev qt6-image-formats-plugins libcurl4-openssl-dev libfreetype-dev libgit2-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev cmake

On Fedora and RHEL derivatives:

sudo dnf update -y
sudo dnf groupinstall -y "C Development Tools and Libraries"
sudo dnf install -y git xmake unzip libgit2-devel fontconfig-devel libstdc++-static glibc-static qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel

Sometimes, we need the latest xrepo:

xrepo update-repo

Step 2: Config and Build

xmake config --yes
xmake build research

If Qt SDK is not found, we can config it manually:

xmake config --qt=/usr/lib/`arch`-linux-gnu/qt5/

To switch to Qt 6, just:

xmake config --qt=/usr/lib/`arch`-linux-gnu/qt6/

Step 3: Run tests

See How to test。

Step 4: Launch Mogan Research

xmake run research

Use VSCode to help code completion

Install VSCode, Clangd and the Clangd plugin for VSCode. Then execute in the mogan folder

xmake project -k compile_commands

This will generate a compile_commands.json file under the mogan folder, and Clangd will read it to understand the organizational structure of the project, so as to avoid the error that the header file cannot be found.
