A used-car dealer GUI C++ program made for university project with the use of wxWidgets library.

1. Update your system

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

2. Install Make and CMake

sudo apt install make cmake

3. Install wxWidgets and its dependencies

• You can follow official sources or find some other guide. Install version at least 3.0.5.

4. Download this repository

git clone https://github.com/SpontanCombust/Komis

5. Move to the project directory

cd Komis

6. Create build directory and move to it

mkdir build

cd build

7. Configure the build

• for Debug build

  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../

• for Release build

  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../

8. Build the project

cmake --build ./

9. Install

cmake --install ./

• If everything was compiled successfully in the main directory of the project you'll find bin folder with executable for the configuration you've picked.

1. Install Visual Studio

1. Install wxWidgets

• Do it eighter by compiling it from source (I recommend checking jadivx9's video on wxWidgets on YouTube) or downloading the procompiled binaries and placing them in the correct place. If you choose the 2nd option make sure you get the binaries for your VS version. Also make sure you get binaries for desired app configuration, i.e. whether it should be for x86 or x64 system, for Debug or Release version, whether it should be compiled with dynamic (usage of DLL files) or static (usage of LIB files) linking. The safest option would be to install all possibl configurations.

3. Download and install CMake for Windows

4. Generate build files with CMake GUI

• Open CMake GUI

• Click Browse Source... and choose the main directory of the project, it can be C:\Komis if you extracted it there

• Click Browse Build... and choose the directory the project should be built in, for example C:\Komis\build

• Check the Grouped and Advanced boxes below

• Click Configure button

• For the generator choose Visual Studio version you're using

• If everything configured successfully (look at the window at the very bottom) Click Finish

  If there are red errors in the lower window saying wxWidgets couldn't be found [CLICK ME]

  • In the middle window listing CMake configurations expand the wxWidgets category

  • For wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR enter the root directory of your wxWidgets install, for example C:\wxWidgets-3.0.5

  • For wxWidgets_LIB_DIR enter the directory in which library files for the correct compiler are stored, for example C:\wxWidgets-3.0.5\lib\vc_x64_lib for 64-bit statically linked libraries for Visual Studio.

  • For wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION enter mswu for Release or mswud for Debug version of libraries

  • After you're done, click Configure again

  • If errors still persist make sure you have installed wxWidgets properly.

• Click Generate

• In specified build directory you'll find Visual Studio solution

5. Build and install with Visual Studio

• Open the generated VS solution

• On the top choose correct configuration ( Debug/Relase; x86/x64 ) you've specified before in CMake GUI

• Right-click on the Komis project on the left and choose Compile

• Right-click on the INSTALL project on the left and choose Compile

• If everything was compiled successfully in the main directory of the project you'll find bin folder with executable for the configuration you've picked.

• If you decided to use dynamic linking you'll have to copy a few DLLs from wxWidgets installation, mainly wxbaseXXXu_vc_x64 and wxmswXXXu_core_vc_x64 for mswu configuration or wxbaseXXXu_vc_x64 and wxmswXXXu_core_vc_x64 for mswud configuration. "XXX" stands for the version of installed library. It's possible DLLs in you wxWidgets installation also have _custom suffix to them.
