|
## Compiling
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes you're either on Windows using mingw or on Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
The following libraries are needed to compile ImHex. All of them can be found in the default pacman repositories
|
|
```
|
|
GLFW3 ( (sudo) pacman -S glfw )
|
|
libmagic, libgnurx, libtre, libintl, libiconv ( (sudo) pacman -S file )
|
|
libcrypto ( (sudo) pacman -S openssl )
|
|
capstone ( (sudo) pacman -S capstone )
|
|
libLLVMDemangle ( (sudo) pacman -S llvm llvm-libs )
|
|
nlohmann json ( (sudo) pacman -S nlohmann-json )
|
|
Python3 ( (sudo) pacman -S python3 )
|
|
|
|
All in one: sudo pacman -S glfw file openssl capstone llvm llvm-libs nlohmann-json python3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After all the libraries are installed, run the following commands to build ImHex
|
|
```
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
make -j
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Windows, download the python standard library from https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/master/Lib and place the files and folders in `lib/python3.8` next to your built executable. Don't forget to also copy the `libpython3.8.dll` and `libwinpthread-1.dll` from your mingw setup next to the executable.
|
|
|
|
On both Windows and Linux, copy the files from `python_libs` in the `lib` folder next to your built executable.
|
|
Place your magic databases in the `magic` folder next to your built executable
|
|
Place your patterns in the `pattern` folder next to your built executable
|
|
Place your include pattern files in the `include` folder next to your built executable
|
