# Building from source
## Linux (Ubuntu)
Install cmake:

    $ sudo apt install cmake

Install dependencies for the interface:

    $ sudo apt install build-essential qtcreator qt5-default

On ubuntu 22.04 it's:

    $ apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools
    
Build & run it:

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake ..
    $ cmake --build .
    $ ./samplebrain

## Mac
Install cmake:

    $ brew install cmake

Install dependencies for the interface:

    $ brew install qt
    $ brew link qt

Build & run it:

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake ..
    $ cmake --build .

`samplebrain.app` should then be in the build folder for you to run.

# Mac build additions

To make a mac app bundle:

Run `macdeployqt` which copies all dependencies inside the app.

    $ cd build
    $ macdeployqt

If the icon is not visible, you might need to copy desktop/samplebrain.icns (the icon) to the Resources directory in the app bundle.

    $ cp ../desktop/samplebrain.icns samplebrain.app/Contents/Resources

Then edit Info.plist to add samplebrain.icns to CFBundleIconFile. Key `CFBundleIconFile` should match:

	<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
	<string>samplebrain.icns</string>

You might also need to resign the app bundle after making any changes

    $ codesign --force --deep --sign - samplebrain.app

# Windows (Work in progress)

* Install [MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org/)
* Install dependances via pacman
* Build with qmake as usual
* Run `windeployqt` and copy missing .dll files into release directory
