Building

Minimum requirements:

• C++17 compiler
• Qt6 or Qt5
• Drumstick 2.9
• pandoc (optional, if BUILD_DOCS)
• CMake 3.16

Build and deployment commands (for Linux)

    tar xvf wrk2mid-x.y.z.tar.gz
    cd wrk2mid-x.y.z
    mkdir build
    cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$HOME/Qt5;$HOME/drumstick2"
    cmake --build build
    cmake --install build

You need to replace the contents of the parameter CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH with the actual paths in your system. There are precompiled packages at Sourceforge.
See the CMake documentation for details.

You may use Qt6 or Qt5 to build this program. If you prefer Qt5, then you should include in the cmake command line the argument USE_QT5=ON

Packaging notes

This program is not a GUI application, obviously. It is a command line application. The reason why there is a wrk2mid.desktop file is because it is required to build an AppImage. If you are building another type of distribution package, you probably should omit this file.
