Compiling the Guidolib project


Compiling the GUIDOEngine


The GUIDOEngine relies on CMake, a cross-platform, open-source build system. The build folder contains the project description and is used to generate native projects.

You can run make from the build folder.

Run make help for more details and a description of all the possible targets.

Note for Android:

The Android SDK and NDK must be installed and ndk-buildmust be available from your current PATH.

  • from the build folder: run make android
  • from the platforms/android folder: run make or make help for details about the targets.

Note for Linux platforms:

You need to have libcairo2-dev installed to compile the GUIDOEngine. The procedure to compile is close to the usual 'configure' 'make' 'make install' steps. Actually, you can simply do the following:

    > cd /your_path_to_the_guidolib_project/build
    > make
    > sudo make install

Note for Windows platforms:

The CMake project description is "Visual Studio" oriented. Using MingW may require some adaptation. A Make.batscript is available to provide services equivalent to make For more information, run

	> ./make.bat help

Compiling the Guido Qt applications


You need to have the Qt SDK installed to compile the Guido Qt applications. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest SDK.

The Guido Qt applications are compiled from the main build/Makefile (or build/Make.bat) and you can also run make (or Make.bat) from the environments/Qt folder.
