5. CONTRIBUTIONS

If you want to contribute to this project, it is required, that you (contributor) fill and digitally sign document Contributor License Agreement, because I want to have a freedom to do whatever I want with my library, without obligation to someone else. But I would strongly prefer, if you want to contribute, to contribute in a form of testing, consultation, giving advices etc. I would like to write this library entirely by myself.

6. COMPILING

Compilation on Windows and Linux is available. There are two options for Windows, and one for Linux. To compile this project, compiler supporting C++20 is needed. On Windows, you can use Visual Studio 2019, clang or mingw. On linux, only GCC 10 was tested.

Compilation instructions (.pro file, Windows, Visual Studio):

  1. Download Visual Studio 2022
  2. Download Qt, minimal supported version is 5.15.2
  3. Download precompiled libraries, or compile them yourself. Libraries must be in same root directory as this project, so root folder of this project will have a sibling folder with these libraries
  4. Open Qt Creator and root project Pdf4Qt.pro
  5. Create target for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and compile the project

Compilation instructions (.qbs file, Windows/Linux)

For QBS build, you will need to install Conan, a C++ package manager, Qt framework (minimal supported version is 5.15.2), and compiler supporting C++20 (Visual Studio 2022, Clang, Mingw, GCC).

  1. Prepare prerequisites (Conan, Qt, compiler)
  2. Open QBS project file
  3. Build

7. DISCLAIMER

I wrote this project in my free time. I hope you will find it useful!
