### Dependencies

kImageAnnotator depends on [kColorPicker](https://github.com/ksnip/kColorPicker) which needs
to be installed before building kImageAnnotator. Install instructions can be found on the GitHub page.

### Building from source

1. Get the latest release from GitHub by cloning the repo:  
    `$ git clone https://github.com/ksnip/kImageAnnotator`
2. Change to repo directory:  
    `$ cd kImageAnnotator`  
3. Make new build directory and enter it:  
    `$ mkdir build && cd build`  
4. Create the makefile and build the project:  
    `$ cmake .. && make`  
   to build with Qt6, pass `-DBUILD_WITH_QT6=true` to the `cmake` command
5. Install shared library (not required when only using the example):  
    `$ sudo make install`
6. Run the example application:  
    `$ ./example/kImageAnnotator-example`

### Shared vs Static

You can either build the project as shared library by providing the flag `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON`
to cmake or `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF` to build as static library. When no flag is provided a 
static library is build. For windows, we currently only support building as static library.

### Integrate library

1. Let cmake find the shared library, optionally with version  
    `set(KIMAGEANNOTATOR_MIN_VERSION "0.x.x")`  
    to build with Qt5:  
    `find_package(kImageAnnotator-Qt5 ${KIMAGEANNOTATOR_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)`  
    to build with Qt6:  
    `find_package(kImageAnnotator-Qt6 ${KIMAGEANNOTATOR_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)`

2. Link the library with your application  
    `target_link_libraries(myApp kImageAnnotator)`
