Contributing

Cloning the repository

The main git repository has submodules, so you need to execute the update_repository script (available as .bat for Windows and .sh for Linux / Mac) after cloning file-commander to clone the nested repositories. Subsequently, you can use the same update_repository script at any time to pull incoming changes to the main repo, as well as to all the subrepos, thus updating everything to the latest revision.

Building

A compiler with C++20 support is required.
Build with Qt 6.4 or newer.
Windows: you can build using either Qt Creator or Visual Studio for IDE. Visual Studio 2022 or later is required (v143 toolset or newer). Run qmake -tp vc -r to generate the solution for Visual Studio. I have not tried building with MinGW, but it should work as long as you enable C++20 support.
Linux: cd to directory with project, run qmake -r to generate Makefile and build via make -j. Make sure it's qmake from Qt 6 installation and not Qt5 (usually qmake6 -r works to ensure that).
Mac OS X: You can use either Qt Creator (simply open the project in it) or Xcode (run qmake -r -spec macx-xcode and open the Xcode project that has been generated). Or you can build from command line with qmake -r followed by make -j.

See the Github workflow .yml file for reference on building the project.
