This repository contains scripts and patches for building Qt and related sub-projects for use in Binary Ninja.
Run the ./build_<platform> that matches your host's platform. Verify that the build configuration is correct, and type Y to start.
The build will be installed in the directory specified by $QT_INSTALL_DIR (or ~/Qt if unset) unless you pass --no-install to the script.
This build process uses Poetry for dependency management. You'll need to pip3 install poetry (or equivalent for your system) to be able to build.
You will also require:
- Compiler (tested, though older may work too)
- macOS: Xcode 16 or Command Line Tools for macOS 15 (Apple Clang 16.0.0)
- Windows: VS 2022 Professional, v143 (14.34)
- Linux: GCC 11.4+
- CMake
- Ninja
- libclang (path can be set with
LLVM_INSTALL_DIR) - On Linux, you will need the following packages to build the UI components of Qt:
- See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/linux-requirements.html
sudo apt install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype-dev libgtk-3-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxcb-util-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxcb1-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libxrender-dev libwayland-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev
You can also use the source bundle referenced in the documentation to build Qt. Download and extract the source bundle referenced in the documentation under the "Building Qt" section, then run the following command:
./build_<platform> --qt-source <qt-source-path> --pyside-source <pyside-source-path>
