Requirements

• CMake
• Ninja
• C++ Compiler (gcc, clang, msvc)
• Python - python-is-python3 for Linux

Linux (Debian-based)

• X11 Requirements:

sudo apt install -y libgl1-mesa-dev libxkbcommon-x11-0 libxcb-image0 libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-render-util0 libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-icccm4

• OpenGL:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt install -y mesa-utils libxmu-dev libxi-dev libgl-dev glew-utils libglew-dev
sudo apt install -y libglewmx-dev freeglut3-dev freeglut3 mesa-common-dev

• Qt Framework - needs to be installed manually, or use aqtinstall

mkdir -p ~/Qt
cd ~/Qt
pip install aqtinstall
python -m aqt install-qt linux desktop 6.7.0 -m all

• Optionally set Environment variable:

export QTDIR=~/Qt/6.7.0/gcc_64

• linuxdeployqt - optional, see walkthrough for more information

Windows

Windows dependencies are easier since OpenGL will be automatically installed, so its is not an explicit requirement.

• Qt Framework - needs to be installed manually, or use aqtinstall

mkdir C:\Qt
cd C:\Qt
pip install aqtinstall
python -m aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.7.0 win64_msvc2019_64 -m all

• Optionally set Environment variable:

setx QTDIR C:\Qt\6.7.0\msvc2019_64
