Dependencies

Qt

The project uses Qt 6.3.2 framework. However, non-GUI part of the project does not depend on it.

Google Protocol Buffers

The Protobuf 3.21.12 is built from source as part of the project. The application is tightly coupled with the Protobuf. For examples, everywhere in the project, for the file IOs Protobuf's FileInputStream, and FileOutputStream are used.

Qwt

The project uses Qwt to generate plots. The Qwt 6.2.0 is also built from source as part of the project. It currently doesn't support CMake, and hence this patch of Qwt 6.2.0 is used instead.

How to build

Dependencies

GNU/Linux

• Qt 6.3.2 for GCC x64

Windows

• Qt 6.3.2 for MSVC-2019 x64

The Project uses GCC on GNU/Linux, and MSVC-2019 on Windows. MinGW support for Windows is currently not considered.

The project uses CMake build system and Conan package manager. Create a build directory, run Conan, generate build files using CMake, and build the project.
