Help building

[edstjohn]

Hey there,

I'm completely new to GitHub and source code etc, and wanted to download this browser.

Under the releases, it shows alpha v0.3, however I see lots of changes have been made after this release.

On windows, how would I go about building a .exe of all the new files?

Thanks,

Ed

Hey!

If you want to compile it yourself, you should do it on Linux or OS X, because it's much more easier.

But I can help if you want it on Windows anyway.
First you need to install Qt on Windows (check qt.io). Then, since msvc is required to compile Qtwebengine, you also need Visual Studio. Finally, you can either install the Qt VS-Addin and open the project in VS, or use the command line. Tell me if you have questions :)

Do I want to download qt from https://www.qt.io/download/ or https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/ ?

The first link only allows me to have 30 days? Selecting the top options don't change anything.

Also, does Alpha v0.3 include all changes made or is compiling myself the only way?

You will probably want to use the open-source version. To test the current development state you will have to build it yourself.
