- New baseline minimum platform is Ubuntu 22.04
- Qt6 requires at least 6.2
- some deprecations may be flagged on later versions (e.g. 6.8)
- CMake requires at least 3.22
- Include build-tests.yml github action to validate builds on mulitple platforms
- QtTest is no longer optional since it easily comes along for the ride with Qt
- Replaced QStringRef in model::SubstitutionField with simple ParserState class
- Removed deprecations up to Qt 6.2

gLabels Linux Build Instructions
General
Prerequisites
- g++
- CMake 3.22+
- Qt6 6.2+ Development Packages ( Qt6Core, Qt6Widgets, Qt6PrintSupport, Qt6Xml, Qt6Svg, Qt6Test )
- zlib 1.2+ Development Package
Even if the above library packages are installed, their corresponding development packages may also need to be installed. Development packages are usually named something like libraryName-dev or libraryName-devel.
Compile and Install
gLabels uses the CMake meta build system. Use the following commands to build and install gLabels:
$ cd glabels_source_directory $ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. $ make $ sudo make install
Example: Ubuntu 24.04
Installing Prerequisites
$ sudo apt install cmake
$ sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-svg-dev qt6-tools-dev zlib1g-dev
QREncode (Optional)
$ sudo apt install pkgconf libqrencode-dev
Zint (Optional)
Install zint from source:
$ wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/zint/zint/2.6.3/zint-2.6.3_final.tar.gz
$ tar xzf zint-2.6.3_final.tar.gz
$ cd zint-2.6.3.src/
$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
$ sudo make install
GNU Barcode (Optional)
$ sudo apt install barcode
Compile and Install gLabels
$ cd glabels-qt
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
Example: Fedora 35
Installing Prerequisites
We assume the build system already has things like cmake and the GNU C++ suite installed.
$ sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-linguist qt5-qttools
These installs will pull in additional packages to fill out their prerequisites. Fedora has a different package naming scheme that Ubuntu. This is to distinguish the QT6 packages from the QT3 and QT4 packages that they still support for compatibility. If the Cmake pass or build has missing package errors or warnings, you can search for the needed package with:
$ sudo dnf search qt6 |grep <package name substring>
Compile and Install gLabels into /usr/local
$ cd glabels-qt
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
