The program is build with Qt 6.8 using QtCreator and the Visual Studio 2022 C++ compiler. Only 64-bits builds are actively maintained.

Documentation is generated automatically when a commit is tagged. It also includes releasenotes. The release notes use collected from git using reno.

Dependencies

• boost
• botan
• googletest
• libpq

Boost, Botan, libpq and googletest are provided by vcpkg through the manifest in vcpkg.json, so you do not install them manually.

Required tools

• CMake 3.21 or newer
• A C++20 compiler (GCC or Clang on Linux, Visual Studio 2022 on Windows)
• Qt 6 with the Core, Gui, Widgets, Sql and Concurrent components
• vcpkg, with the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable pointing to its checkout
• Ninja or make (optional, for faster builds)
• A PostgreSQL server (only needed to run the application against a database)

Building

Configure with the vcpkg toolchain file. The first configure downloads and builds the dependencies, which takes a while:

cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
cmake --build build

To skip the test executables, add -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF to the configure command.

Running the tests

From the build directory, run:

ctest --output-on-failure

Running the application

The executable is built to build/pglab/pglab. On a machine without a display, set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen:

./build/pglab/pglab
