With Qt Creator

In Qt Creator, you can load the Solarus Quest Editor project by opening the CMakeLists.txt file. You might need to tell Qt Creator the path to the CMake binary. If Solarus is installed in a standard paths known by CMake, it should directly work. Otherwise, you need to set CMake variables indicating the location of the Solarus includes and libraries (see the example in the command-line section below).

With the command line

If you don't want to use Qt Creator, you can build the project from the command line using CMake.

Configure:

$ cd solarus-quest-editor
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..

If CMake fails to find Solarus include directories or libraries, for example because they are not properly installed in standard paths, you can explictly indicate their location instead:

$ cmake -DSOLARUS_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/solarus/include -DSOLARUS_GUI_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/solarus/include -DSOLARUS_LIBRARY=/path/to/solarus/libsolarus.so -DSOLARUS_GUI_LIBRARY=/path/to/solarus/libsolarus-gui.so ..

Build:

$ make

Run:

$ ./solarus-quest-editor
