gLabels Windows Build Instructions

gLabels for Windows can be built using one of the following toolchains:

• MSYS/MINGW
• Visual Studio

MSYS/MINGW

Prerequisites

• MSYS/MINGW, including the following packages
  • mingw32-gcc-g++
  • mingw32-libz
• CMake 2.8.12+
• Qt5 5.4+ for MINGW

Make sure that Qt tools are in your executable search path. For example, add something like this to your .profile file:

export PATH=/c/Qt/Qt5.6.0/5.6/mingw49_32/bin:${PATH}

The exact path will depend on the version of Qt and MINGW you have installed.

Cloning/Downloading

To download, select Download ZIP on the glabels-qt Github page. Unzip this file into your MSYS home directory (e.g. /mingw/msys/1.0/home/yourname).

Compiling and Install

gLabels uses the CMake meta build system. From the MSYS shell, type the following commands:

$ cd glabels-qt-master
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" ..
$ make install

Visual Studio
