Building
========
First you must get the source of Cutter by cloning the repository:
::
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/radareorg/cutter
The “official” way to build Cutter is by using qmake, but there are two
alternatives cmake and meson.
In any case, there are obviously some requirements: \* Radare2 installed
from submodule \* Qt 5.9 or above \* Python3.6
**Before compiling, note that we also provide binaries available for
windows/linux/MacOS
X**\ `here <https://github.com/radareorg/cutter/releases>`__\ **.**
--------------
Building options
----------------
Note that there are two major building options available: \*
``CUTTER_ENABLE_JUPYTER`` is used to compile Cutter with bundled Python
and Jupyter module \* ``CUTTER_ENABLE_QTWEBENGINE`` is used to compile
Cutter with bundled QtWebEngine (to ease jupyter console usage)
--------------
Building with Qmake
-------------------
Compiling on Linux / macOS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The easy way is to simply run ``./build.sh`` from the root directory,
and let the magic happen. The script will use qmake to build Cutter.
If you want to manually use qmake, follow this steps:
.. code:: sh
mkdir build; cd build
qmake ../src/Cutter.pro
make
cd ..
Additional steps for macOS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On macOS you will also have to copy the launcher bash script:
.. code:: sh
mv Cutter.app/Contents/MacOS/Cutter Cutter.app/Contents/MacOS/Cutter.bin
cp ../src/macos/Cutter Cutter.app/Contents/MacOS/Cutter && chmod +x Cutter.app/Contents/MacOS/Cutter
--------------
Building with Cmake
-------------------
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- CMake >= 3.1
Building on Linux
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The root for CMake is in src/. In-source builds are **not allowed**, so
you **must** run CMake from a separate directory:
::
cd src
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
If all went well, you should now have a working Makefile in your build
directory:
::
make
--------------
Building on Windows
-------------------
Alternatively, on Windows you can run something like this (depending on
your Cmake installation)
.. code:: batch
set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\Qt\qt-5.6.2-msvc2013-x86\5.6\msvc2013\lib\cmake
cd src
mkdir build
cd build
cmake-gui ..
Click ``Configure`` and select ``Visual Studio 14 2015`` from the list.
After configuration is done, click ``Generate`` and you can open
``Cutter.sln`` to compile the code as usual.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Cmake: qt development package not found
Depending on how Qt installed (Distribution packages or using the Qt
installer application), CMake may not be able to find it by itself if it
is not in a common place. If that is the case, double check that the
correct Qt version is installed. Locate its prefix (a directory
containing bin/, lib/, include/, etc.) and specify it to CMake using
``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`` in the above process, e.g.:
::
rm CMakeCache.txt # the cache may be polluted with unwanted libraries found before
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/Qt/5.9.1/gcc_64 ..
..
``ModuleNotFoundError`` upon starting Cutter.
This can be resolved by either: 1. Disabling the optional jupyter
support during building by modifying ``build.sh`` as follows:
- Uncomment
``#QMAKE_CONF="CUTTER_ENABLE_JUPYTER=false CUTTER_ENABLE_QTWEBENGINE=false"``
- Comment out the prior empty ``QMAKE_CONF=""``
2. Or alternatively by installing the two python dependencies manually
afterwards via:
::
pip3 install notebook jupyter_client
Building with Meson (Windows)
-----------------------------
Additional requirements:
- Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017
- Ninja build system
- Meson build system
Download and unpack
`Ninja <https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases>`__ to the Cutter
source root directory.
Environment settings (example for x64 version):
``batch :: Export MSVC variables CALL "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64 :: Add qmake to PATH SET "PATH=C:\Qt\5.10.1\msvc2015_64\bin;%PATH%" :: Add Python to PATH SET "PATH=C:\Program Files\Python36;%PATH%"``
Install Meson:
.. code:: batch
python -m pip install meson
To compile Cutter run:
.. code:: batch
CALL prepare_r2.bat
CALL build.bat
