Build

Git

When downloading the source code using Git, it is important to download also the required submodules:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder.git

If the --recursive or --recurse-submodules was not used, it is possible doing it as a separate step:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Supported Configurations

When building, it is recommended to do it in a new directory:

mkdir build && cd build

Linux

cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

macOS

cmake -G"XCode" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

MSYS2

Open MinGW 64-bit or MinGW 32-bit from the start menu. Install tools and libraries:

• Update the MSYS2 installation with pacman -Syu
• Restart the shell

Install the dependencies

pacman -S ${MINGW_PACKAGE_PREFIX}-binutils

At present, when using MinGW with MSYS2 is not possible to use MinGW Makefiles or Unix Makefiles generators, see this CMake issue.

cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

Windows

cmake -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

Build

cmake --build .
