Prerequisites for all platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X)

1. Qt 5 — cross-platform application and UI framework. We recommend Qt 5.2 and above.
2. CMake — cross-platform build system
3. Boost — cross-platform library

Check that qmake, cmake and scons are in your PATH variable.

$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.2.1
        
$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.10.1

## Build for Linux

Before building Robomongo, install `libssl-dev` package on your system.

#### Simple build

To build Fastoredis, run the following commands:
```sh
$ mkdir target
$ cd target
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install

We are assuming, that target folder is inside Fastoredis project's root:

/fastoredis
  /build
  /docs
  ...
  /target     <--  This folder is ignored in .gitignore
  ...

But you can specify absolute path to your /robomongo folder:

$ cmake /home/mike/projects/fastoredis

CMake arguments:

Argument	Description	Default value
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE	Build type: Release or Debug	Debug
-DOS_ARC	Architecture: 32 for i386, and 64 for x86_64 (AMD64).	Current CPU architecture will be used.
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX	Install location	CMAKE_OUT/install

The following command will build 64-bit Robomongo in release mode:

cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DOS_ARC=64

Explore output

In target/install you can find robomongo executable.

Build for Mac OS X

Simple build

To build Fastoredis, run the following commands:

$ mkdir target
$ cd target
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install

Note.

If using a brew installed QT (or not standard library install) do this before the cmake ..

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/VERSION(5.3.1)/lib/cmake

We are assuming, that target folder is inside Robomongo project's root:

/fastoredis
  /build
  /docs
  ...
  /target     <--  This folder is ignored in .gitignore
  ...

But you can specify absolute path to your /robomongo folder:

$ cmake /home/mike/projects/robomongo

CMake arguments:

Argument	Description	Default value
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE	Build type: Release or Debug	Debug
-DOS_ARC	Architecture: 32 for i386, and 64 for x86_64 (AMD64).	Current CPU architecture will be used.
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX	Install location	CMAKE_OUT/install

The following command will build 64-bit Robomongo in release mode:

cmake .. \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DOS_ARC=64

Explore output

In target/install you can find Robomongo executable.

Build for Windows

Prerequisites

1. Mingw: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/
2. Build qt from sources: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git

Simple build

To build Fastoredis, run the following commands:

$ mkdir target
$ cd target
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build . --target install --config Release

We are assuming, that target folder is inside Robomongo project's root:

/robomongo
  /build
  /docs
  ...
  /target     <--  This folder is ignored in .gitignore
  ...

But you can specify absolute path to your /robomongo folder:

$ cmake "d:\Projects\Robomongo"

Explore output

In target/install you can find Robomongo executable.
