Linux build instructions

Install the proper development packages for gtk and such.

Next, build the GTK application like this:

$ cd lognplotgtk
$ cargo build --release

MacOS build instructions

TODO

Windows build instructions

msys2

For this, use the stable-gnu toolchain for rust:

CMD> rustup default stable-gnu

Install msys2, next install depending packages:

# pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-hdf5 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3

Fix hdf5 dll:

copy C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\libhdf5-0.dll C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\hdf5.dll

Set HDF5 path:

CMD> SET HDF5_DIR=C:\msys64\mingw64

Build rust application:

CMD> cd lognplotgtk
CMD> cargo build --release

VCPKG

Note: not recommended, since VCPKG builds an outdated GTK version.

For windows, use vcpkg to install GTK development packages:

CMD> vcpkg install gtk:x64-windows

Next up, check the vcpkg library folder vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\lib and make sure you have gtk-3.0.lib by copying/symlinking/replicating/renaming gtk-3.lib. The same might hold for gdk-3.lib.

Next, setup some environment variables to allow the gtk-rs crate to pickup gtk:

CMD> set VCPKGDIR=c:\git\vcpkg-folder
CMD> set GTK_LIB_DIR=%VCPKGDIR%\installed\x64-windows\lib
CMD> set LIB=%GTK_LIB_DIR%
CMD> set PATH=%VCPKGDIR%\installed\x64-windows\bin;%PATH%
CMD> set HDF5_DIR=%VCPKGDIR%\installed\x64-windows

Then, build the application:

CMD> cargo build --release

At this point, you have a runnable application, but icons and themes are still defunct.

To fix this, download two icon packages from msys2:

  • hicolor-icon-theme
  • adwaita-icon-theme

Extract the packages and copy the contents of the share/icons folder into the folder %VCPKGDIR%\installed\x64-windows\share\icons. You should now have the folder structure:

  • x64-windows/share/icons
    • Adwaita
      • index.theme
      • 16x16 and other folders with icons of a certain size.
    • hicolor
      • index.theme
      • 16x16 and other folders with icons of a certain size.

Now the app will contain the proper icons. To theme this further you could install a windows 10 or windows 7 theme.

One further issue is the compiled settings, which have to be present. This issue will surface when you try to open a file save dialog. Make sure you have a file share\glib-2.0\schemas\gschemas.compiled.

Distribution build script

To assist in all this stuff, a python script is available which does some of the steps:

CMD> python lognplotgtk\make_win32_distro.py my_vcpkg_install_folder
