## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
To install Valentina, please visit our website [Valentina Website] and download the version that best suits your needs. Valentina supports two branches: `stable` and `dev`. Version numbers follow a specific pattern to indicate stability and development status:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stable Version:**
|
||||
- Version numbers with even digits (e.g., 0.6) are reserved for stable releases.
|
||||
- Stable versions receive bug fixes to ensure a reliable and stable user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dev Version:**
|
||||
- Version numbers with odd digits (e.g., 0.7) represent the development branch.
|
||||
- The dev version is actively developed and receives bug fixes and new features, providing a more feature-rich experience.
|
||||
- While stable versions are suitable for initial checks, we recommend the dev branch for professional use due to its more advanced functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Select the platform you use, and then choose the version most appropriate for your operating system. Versions marked with a "+" symbol indicate compatibility with the specified version of the OS and higher.
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend using the `dev` branch for professional use to take advantage of the latest features and improvements. If you encounter any issues, please refer to the **Support** section for assistance.

Valentina
|
||||
==========
|
||||
Valentina is a cross-platform patternmaking program which allows designers
|
||||
to create and model patterns of clothing. This software allows pattern
|
||||
creation, using either standard sizing tables or an individual’s set of
|
||||
measurements. It blends new technologies with traditional methods to create
|
||||
a unique pattern making tool.
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling Valentina
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Prerequisites:
|
||||
* Qt 5.4.0 or later (On Unix development packages needed)
|
||||
* mercurial (only for working with repository)
|
||||
* On Unix:
|
||||
- g++ 4.8 or clang 3.4
|
||||
- xpdf package (tool pdftops).
|
||||
* On Windows:
|
||||
- MinGW
|
||||
- Xpdf is an open source viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF)
|
||||
files. Website http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/. Put tool pdftops.exe
|
||||
in the same directory with Valentina's binary file.
|
||||
|
||||
The installed toolchains have to match the one Qt was compiled with.
|
||||
|
||||
You can build Valentina with
|
||||
|
||||
cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY\build
|
||||
qmake ..\Valentina.pro -r CONFIG+=noDebugSymbols CONFIG+=no_ccache
|
||||
make (or mingw32-make or nmake or jom, depending on your platform)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: On some platforms e.g. Fedora, all Qt-tools come as qmake-qt5
|
||||
etc. In this case you should install qtchooser. This wrapper
|
||||
resolves the Qt version with respect to QT_SELECT. So run
|
||||
|
||||
export QT_SELECT=5
|
||||
|
||||
prior to qmake. You will not come along with just using qmake-qt5
|
||||
here.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note:In order to build and use Valentina, the PATH environment variable
|
||||
needs to be extended:
|
||||
|
||||
PATH - to locate qmake, moc and other Qt tools
|
||||
This is done by adding c:\Qt\%VERSION%\bin to the PATH variable.
|
||||
|
||||
For newer versions of Windows, PATH can be extended through the
|
||||
Control Panel|System|Advanced|Environment variables menu.
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need to ensure that the locations of your compiler and
|
||||
other build tools are listed in the PATH variable. This will depend on
|
||||
your choice of software development environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Unix systems:
|
||||
Default prefix for command "make install" is /usr. For using another
|
||||
prefix build with qmake command:
|
||||
|
||||
qmake PREFIX=/usr/local PREFIX_LIB=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu Valentina.pro -r CONFIG+=noDebugSymbols CONFIG+=no_ccache
|
||||
|
||||
where /usr/local is a new prefix for installation binary files and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu is new prefix for install libraries.
