The installer package includes the application and all required runtime dependencies for immediate use.

Build from Source

C-Stitch can be built from source. The CMake install step can also copy Qt, KDE, SGCT scalable, and other runtime DLLs next to the executable when CSTITCH_INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES is enabled.

Typical local configuration:

cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="D:/Craft/VS2022_qt6X"
cmake --build build --config Release --target C-Stitch

To prepare an install tree with dependencies:

cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="D:/Craft/VS2022_qt6X" -DCSTITCH_INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES=ON
cmake --build build --config Release --target INSTALL
