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](https://eelke.gitlab.io/pgLab/) is generated automatically when a commit is tagged. It also includes releasenotes.
The release notes use collected from git using [reno](https://docs.openstack.org/reno/latest/index.html).
## 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
```
