### Compiling ImHex on Windows
|
|
|
|
On Windows, ImHex is built through [msys2 / mingw](https://www.msys2.org/)'s gcc.
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install msys2 from their [website](https://www.msys2.org/).
|
|
2. Open the `MSYS2 MinGW x64` shell
|
|
3. Clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules`
|
|
4. Install all the dependencies using `./ImHex/dist/get_deps_msys2.sh`
|
|
5. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd ImHex
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake -G "Ninja" \
|
|
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
|
|
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="./install" \
|
|
-DIMHEX_USE_DEFAULT_BUILD_SETTINGS=ON \
|
|
..
|
|
ninja install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
ImHex will look for any extra resources either in various folders directly next to the executable or in `%localappdata%/imhex`
|
|
|
|
For low RAM-usage system, you can use `mingw32-make -j N install` instead, to reduce RAM usage at compile time. Where `N` is amount of jobs you are willling to run at once. Roughly ~1 GB of RAM usage per job.
