Build instructions

These instructions assume unix-like environment.

The build process itself is usual CMake procedure, but there are quite a few dependencies and code is split across repositories.

Modules:

• vector morphing lib
• core library
• command line tool (not really worth using atm)
• gui editor

Dependencies

Core:

• lib2geom (yes, you need my fork at the moment; also you need to build & install dynamic library)
• boost
• fmt
• catch (bundled in repository)
• rapidjson (bundled as git module)
• yaml-cpp (bundled as git module)

Editor:

• qt
• [KDE Frameworks][https://kde.org/]
• Qt-Color-Widgets (bundled as git module)

Runtime renderer dependency:

• Inkscape - used to render SVG output of RainyNite "renderer"; can be replaced with other command line SVG renderer
• ffmpeg: optional, for waveform generation

Build process

The easy way is to clone united repository and run update_and_build.sh script.

However, if you're interested in development, you may find it more convenient to setup build directories yourself. Build process is mostly usual CMake routine, except for a few caveats. You can look them up at [BUILDING.md][BUILDING.md] or in build script.
