A simple student course grade assessment system written in C++ and Qt.
Although it has a number of different features, this project was originally only aimed for a university software engineering practice, so use with caution if used for production purposes. However, it may be a good project for demonstrating use of several technology listed at the bottom.
Prebuilt Windows binary available here. (Windows 7 or below not supported)
TL;DR: clone the repository with submodules, install Qt6 and set up env vars, and build it normally like any CMake project.
First, clone this repository using
git clone --recurse-submodules <url>If you have cloned it before without using --recurse-submodules, you should run the following commands to initiate submodules:
git submodule init
git submodule updateThen follow instructions below to set up your environment.
Currently this project targets Qt6, and is tested to build with Qt 6.2.1. This is not included in the vcpkg.json file because it is too large and time-consuming to be installed by vcpkg. If you want to have it automatically installed and configured, try adding qt and qtcharts as dependencies to vcpkg.json file (not tested).
After manually downloading and installing Qt (also QtCharts), you should set environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to your installation path (e.g. C:\Qt\6.2.1\msvc2019_64) in order to let CMake find Qt library files. To run the built binary, you should also make sure that the Qt library files can be found by the OS (e.g. by setting PATH in Windows or LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Linux).
Update: verified to work with Qt 6.3.0 on Archlinux (2022/05/15).
Other dependencies are managed by vcpkg, which should be automatically triggered during CMake process, so normally you need not do anything. If something fails, try to debug by inspecting CMake logs.
Just open the cloned project folder, and you will be able to build the project. Note that during CMake configuration, vcpkg will be bootstrapped and some dependencies will be downloaded and installed.
Sometimes network issues may block you from successfully downloading dependencies. In this case, view the build messages and resolve them accordingly.
Treat the project as a regular CMake project and type relevant commands. Commands may vary due to environment settings (such as build system and compiler). The following is for your reference:
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
