linux_setup.md

• Install qt

To build on debian you need to execute

sudo apt-get install qt5-default git curl make g++ libboost-dev libgraphicsmagick-dev graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat
qmake with-magick.pro
make

Done

no-magick.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <QString>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QString qstr = "Hello world\n";
  std::cout << qstr.toStdString();
  return 0;
}

no-magick.pro

unix {
  QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++17
}

win32 {
  INCLUDEPATH *= C:\boost
}

QT *= xml widgets core gui

TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = no-magick.cpp

• Install qt creator

with-magick.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <QString>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <QApplication>
#include <Magick++.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  Magick::InitializeMagick(*argv);
  QApplication app(argc, argv);

  QString qstr = "Hello world\n";
  std::cout << qstr.toStdString();

  Magick::Image image;

  return 0;
}
