In older released there was the need to compile each sub-project by doing the following task.

Change the common define.h to a proper value for each project.

So there is a changed configuration of the build files, so there is no need of changing the defines for each sub-project: kbc, kbide and kbrun and all three projects are now qmake based, so that the following script will compile it. Also removed the need to set defines for each platform before compilation, now it is automatically done.

Compiling the project can be achieved by using Qt Creator (or qmake only) on all supported platforms. Project files for Xcode, KDevelop and Visual Studio are not provided anymore and only one source package is available and which makes it is easier to maintain it.

The following package contains three projects for Qt Creator with complete source codes:

• kbc - the compiler (only C++ program without Qt usage, but still a Qt project for easy compilation)
• kbide - the IDE (with Qt usage)
• kbrun - the runtime and intepreter (with Qt usage)

The following bash script compiles all three projects.

Just go to the kbasic source code directory and create a new file called build.sh with the following text. Make it executable and open the shell and run it by typing

./build.sh

(at the place where build.sh has been created).

You need to have Qt installed and qmake must be installed as well.

#!/bin/bash
# Script for Linux only

cd kbc
rm moc*
qmake kbc.pro
make -j4

cd ..
cd kbide
rm moc*
qmake kbide.pro
make -j4

cd ..
cd kbrun
rm moc*
qmake kbrun.pro
make -j4
