Build Instructions

Prerequisites

• CMake 3.20+
• C++17 compiler
• vcpkg (for OpenCV, libhv, and cpr)

Windows

1. Install vcpkg

   cd C:\
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
   cd vcpkg
   .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
   .\vcpkg integrate install

2. Install dependencies

   .\vcpkg install opencv4:x64-windows-static libhv:x64-windows-static cpr:x64-windows-static

3. Build

   cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static
   cmake --build build --config Release

Linux

vcpkg maybe not the best option for linux, but it is what it is, maybe in the future i'll remake this. but if you just install them on your linux computer, it will automatically find them via findPackage (I think)

1. Install vcpkg

   cd ~
   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git
   cd vcpkg
   ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
   ./vcpkg integrate install

2. Install dependencies

   ./vcpkg install opencv4:x64-linux libhv:x64-linux cpr:x64-linux

3. Build

   cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=~/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-linux
   cmake --build build --config Release

Output

• Windows: build\bin\Release\photoGraph.exe
• Linux: build/bin/photoGraph

Note: The executable is fully static and requires no external DLLs or libraries.
