tide

A lightweight Qt6 code editor.

Building

make build      # configure + build into ./build
make run        # build, then launch
make clean      # remove the build directory

Dependencies

• CMake 3.16+ and a C++17 compiler.
• Qt 6 — Widgets and PDF (PdfWidgets), required to build.
• Qt SVG — provides the qsvg image plugin, loaded at runtime for the bundled icons and for opening .svg files in the image viewer.
• Qt image format plugins (optional) — only needed for .webp; png, jpg, gif and bmp are handled by qtbase.

Platform	Install
Debian/Ubuntu	sudo apt install cmake qt6-base-dev qt6-pdf-dev libqt6svg6 qt6-image-formats-plugins
Fedora	sudo dnf install cmake qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qtpdf-devel qt6-qtsvg qt6-qtimageformats
Arch	sudo pacman -S cmake qt6-base qt6-webengine qt6-svg qt6-imageformats
macOS	brew install cmake qt

Arch has no standalone Qt PDF package; Qt6::PdfWidgets ships inside qt6-webengine. On macOS the Homebrew qt formula is full Qt 6 and covers everything above; if CMake cannot find it, pass -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$(brew --prefix qt).
