Building Manually

Spotlight uses vcpkg to manage its dependencies and cmake as its build system.

Ensure both vcpkg and cmake are installed on your system before building.

A C++20 compiler is also required to build Spotlight.

Configuring vcpkg

  1. Set the VCPKG_ROOT environment variable to the path of your vcpkg installation's root directory.

Windows

  1. Set the VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET environment variable to x64-windows
  2. Run vcpkg install libnick libjpeg-turbo boost-gil qtbase qtsvg qttools

Building

  1. First, clone/download the repo.
  2. Open a terminal and navigate to the repo's root directory.
  3. Create a new build directory and cd into it.

Windows

  1. From the build folder, run cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022".
  2. From the build folder, run cmake --build . --config Release.
  3. After these commands complete, Spotlight will be successfully built and its binaries can be found in the org.nickvision.spotlight.winui/Release folder of the build folder.
