Compiling with CMake

The "official" way to build Iaito is by using qmake, but as an alternative, a CMakeLists.txt is provided, so CMake can be used as well.

This page provides a guide to compile on Linux or macOS, the process for Windows is described in Compiling on Windows.

Requirements

• CMake >= 3.1
• Radare2 installed from submodule, see README.md
• Qt 5.6 including the components Core Widgets Gui WebEngine WebEngineWidgets

Building

The root for CMake is in src/. In-source builds are not allowed, so you must run CMake from a separate directory:

cd src
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

If all went well, you should now have a working Makefile in your build directory:

make

Troubleshooting

Depending on how Qt installed (Distribution packages or using the Qt installer application), CMake may not be able to find it by itself if it is not in a common place. You may encounter an error that looks like this:

CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake:26 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5WebEngine" with
  any of the following names:

    Qt5WebEngineConfig.cmake
    qt5webengine-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5WebEngine" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Qt5WebEngine_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Qt5WebEngine" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

If that is the case, double check that Qt 5.6 is installed correctly and contains all required components. Locate its prefix (a directory containing bin/, lib/, include/, etc.) and specify it to CMake using CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the above process, e.g.:

rm CMakeCache.txt # the cache may be polluted with unwanted libraries found before
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.6/gcc_64 ..
