Build from Source¶

KFilter6 is a Qt6 Widgets application built with CMake and C++17.

Requirements¶

Required:

CMake 3.21 or newer
C++17-capable compiler
Qt6 Core
Qt6 Widgets

Useful for development:

Ninja
CTest

KFilter6 does not require KDE Frameworks.

Release-style build¶

From the repository root:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j"$(nproc)"

Run:

./build/kfilter_qt6

Run the test suite¶

ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Development build with Ninja¶

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build
ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Distribution-specific packages¶

Exact Qt6 package names depend on the Linux distribution. On many distributions, Qt6 Core and Widgets are provided by the Qt6 base development package.

Gentoo-specific dependency notes can be added here when the public source distribution is finalized.
