Documentation

Building

To build, you'll need cargo, as well as CMake and Ninja for building wxDragon. In addition, you also need LLVM, from LLVM.org.

Toolchains

• Stable Rust 1.88.0 is used for builds, tests, and clippy.
• Nightly Rust is only required for formatting with cargo +nightly fmt.

Native Dependencies

Due to accessibility issues observed in current versions of WX, Fedra expects a local wxWidgets checkout and the WXWIDGETS_DIR environment variable to point to it.

On PowerShell:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
$env:WXWIDGETS_DIR = "$PWD\\wxWidgets"

cargo build --release

This will generate the executable at target/release/fedra.exe.

Optional Tools

The following tools aren't required to build a functioning Fedra on a basic level, but will help you make a complete release build.

• pandoc on your PATH to generate the HTML readme.
• InnoSetup installed to create the installer.

Before Committing

Run the formatter before you commit changes:

cargo +nightly fmt

Set up the repository pre-commit hooks from the repo root:

cargo install prek
prek install

Run the same checks that CI expects:

cargo +nightly fmt --check
cargo test
cargo clippy --release
