Building the Atomic Editor using QtCreator - joorjoor/AtomicGameEngine GitHub Wiki
Prerequisites
The Atomic Editor is very easy to build and requires minimal setup. You'll need QtCreator and CMake: http://www.cmake.org/download
Step 1: Clone the Atomic Game Engine and Examples
Open a terminal and clone the Atomic Game Engine source and examples repositories.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/AtomicGameEngine/AtomicGameEngine
git clone https://github.com/AtomicGameEngine/AtomicExamples

Step 2: Open the Atomic Game Engine project in QtCreator and Build
QtCreator supports CMake files as native projects. In QtCreator select Open Project and then navigate to the CMakeLists.txt in the root of the local Atomic Game Engine repository
