Building from Source

Prerequisites

Building Fuel from source requires Qt version 5. Qt is available at: http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/

To run Fuel a compiled binary of Fossil must be available either in the system path or in the same folder as the Fuel executable. You can find the latest Fossil binaries from the Fossil homepage at: https://www.fossil-scm.org/download.html

Retrieving the source

The source is available as a tar.gz archive at the following location

https://fuel-scm.org/fossil/wiki?name=Downloads

Additionally you can clone the source code directly from our site using fossil

mkdir fuel
cd fuel
fossil clone https://fuel-scm.org/fossil fuel.fossil
fossil open fuel.fossil

Windows (Qt5 / MinGW)

Open a Command Prompt and cd into the folder containing the Fuel source code
```
 cd fuel
```
Make a build folder and cd into it
```
 md build
 cd build
```
Generate the makefile with cmake
```
 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
```
Build the project
```
 make -j6
```
Copy the Qt DLLs
```
 make copy_dll
```

Windows (Qt5 / MSVC)

Open a Command Prompt and cd into the folder containing the Fuel source code
```
 cd fuel
```
Make a build folder and cd into it
```
 md build
 cd build
```
Generate the Visual Studio project makefile with cmake
```
 cmake ..
```
Open the generated project
```
 start fuel.vcxproj
```

Build the project Use the IDE to build the project or alternatively you can use via MSBuild

 call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
 msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /m Fuel.vcxproj

Copy the Qt DLLs

 msbuild /p:Configuration=Release copy_dll.vcxproj

Enjoy
```
 bin\Fuel.exe
```

Mac OS X

Build Steps:

Open a Terminal and add your Qt bin folder to the path

 export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/qt/version/clang_64/bin

Go into the folder containing the Fuel source code
```
 cd fuel
```
Generate the makefile with cmake
```
 cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
```
Build the project
```
 make -j6
```
(Optional) Include the Fossil executable within the Fuel application bundle
```
 cp /location/to/fossil Fuel.app/Contents/MacOS
```
Package Qt dependencies into Fuel to make a standalone application bundle
```
 macdeployqt Fuel.app
```
Enjoy
```
 open Fuel.app
```
