Building from Source

Dev environment

Visual Studio Code with rust-analyzer extension.
For working with QML I recommend to use Qt Creator and load all QML files there, as it has auto-complete and syntax highlighting. The project also supports UI live reload, it's a super quick way of working with the UI. Just change live_reload = true in gyroflow.rs and it should work right away. Now every time you change any QML file, the app should reload it immediately.

Building steps

    Prerequisites: git, 7z and working powershell. If you never ran powershell scripts before, run set-executionpolicy remotesigned in powershell as admin
  2. 2.
    Get latest stable Rust language from: https://rustup.rs/
    • Please make sure to check the English language pack option when installing the C++ build tools from Visual Studio Installer
  3. 3.
    Install Just by running cargo install --force just
  4. 4.
    Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow.git
  5. 5.
    Enter the project directory and:
    • Install dependencies: just install-deps
