Compiling ImHex on Linux

On Linux, ImHex is built through regular GCC (or optionally Clang).

  1. Clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules
  2. Install the dependencies using one of the dist/get_deps_*.sh scripts. Choose the one that matches your distro.
  3. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
cd ImHex
mkdir -p build
cd build
CC=gcc-12 CXX=g++-12                          \
cmake -G "Ninja"                              \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr"             \
    ..
ninja install

All paths follow the XDG Base Directories standard, and can thus be modified with the environment variables XDG_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS.
