Axolotl

This repository is a C++ project trying to recreate a cross-platform text editor similar to Sublime/Visual Studio Code using the Qt 5 library.

The Axolotl icon was provided by Kisspng and edited through Gimp.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine

Prerequisites

git
CMake 3.1 or above
Qt 5

Building

We use CMake to build the project. Currently right now the architecture we're building with is x64. Generally we make a seperate directory and make sure cmake builds to this directory. For example when build with cmake installed and Qt 5 installed

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/PATH/TO/YOUR/QT/COMPILER_BUILD
make

Make sure to specify where the Qt install directory is in the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH flag
