flatfab

Build

Mac OSX

• Download the Eigen library (3.2.2 stable): http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php and the tar.gz and place the "Eigen" directory into the flatfab source directory
• "Release" build using Qt Creator to create flatfab.app
• May have to add the $QTDIR/bin directory to paths, do: sudo nano /etc/paths and add the line /Users/YOURNAMEHERE/Qt.5.3.2/5.3/clang_64/bin then do a control+O and enter to save then control+X to exit
• Use icon file flatfab_icon.png, load it up and press command+A then command+C, then for the .app file in the Release directory do a control+click and "get info", then click the icon and press command+V to paste the graphic
• Terminal command: macdeployqt flatfab.app -dmg
• Repeat the icon setting process above for the flatfab.dmg file - this is the file to distribute

Linux

You need Qt5 (tested on Ubuntu 24.10 with QtCreator 13; any previous release should work as well)

• install libeigen3-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev
• from the project directory, run cmake and then make
• run the app ./FlatFab and enjoy!

Flatpak

Uses the latest Qt 5.15 runtime; builds manually Eigen and GLU.

To build:

• install flatpak and flatpak-builder
• flatpak install org.kde.Sdk/x86_64/5.15-24.08
• flatpak install org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.15-24.08
• cd flatpak && flatpak-builder --force-clean --install --user build-flatpak edu.toronto.dgp.FlatFab.yml

You can then test your freshly generated flatpak with:

• flatpak run edu.toronto.dgp.FlatFab
