### Compiling ImHex on Linux
Dependency installation scripts are available for many common Linux distributions in the [/dist](dist) folder.
After all the dependencies are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex:
On Linux, ImHex is built through regular GCC (or optionally Clang).
1. Clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules`
2. Install the dependencies using one of the `dist/get_deps_*.sh` scripts. Choose the one that matches your distro.
3. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
```sh
cd ImHex
mkdir -p build
cd build
CC=gcc-12 CXX=g++-12 cmake \

Put the ImHex executable into the `/usr/bin` folder.
Put libimhex.so into the `/usr/lib` folder.
Configuration files go to `/usr/etc/imhex` or `~/.config/imhex`.
All other files belong in `/usr/share/imhex` or `~/.local/share/imhex`:

Magic files: /usr/share/imhex/magic
Python: /usr/share/imhex/lib/pythonX.X
Plugins: /usr/share/imhex/plugins
Configuration: /etc/xdg/imhex/config
```
All paths follow the XDG Base Directories standard, and can thus be modified
with the environment variables `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS`,
`XDG_DATA_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.

### Compiling ImHex on macOS
To build ImHex on macOS, run the following commands:
On macOS, ImHex is built through regular GCC and AppleClang.
1. Clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules`
2. Install all the dependencies using `brew bundle --no-lock --file dist/Brewfile`
3. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
```sh
brew bundle --no-lock --file dist/Brewfile
cd ImHex
mkdir -p build
cd build

If the build fails while trying to find the macOS libraries, make sure you have
XCode installed with `xcode-select --install`. Homebrew will also help get the
most recent SDK installed and configured with `brew doctor`.
