Pineapple Pictures is a lightweight image viewer that allows you view JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, PSD, KRA, XCF, TGA, HDR, AVIF and some other frequently used image formats files quickly and easily, and also provide a Stay-on-Top window setting that allows you pin the window so you can use it to pin a reference image at the top and then you can work with other software.

Current state, we need:

• cmake: as the build system.
• qt6 withqt6-svg andqt6-tools: since the app is using Qt.
• libexiv2: able to display more image metadata. (optional, but recommended)

Then we can build it with any proper c++ compiler like g++ or msvc.

Building it just requires normal cmake building steps:

$ mkdir build&&cd build$ cmake ..$ cmake --build.# or simply using `make` if you are using Makefile as the cmake generator.

After that, appic executable file will be available to use. You can also optionally install it by using the targetinstall (or simplymake install in case you are using Makefile). After the build process, you can also usecpack to make a package.

The project will try to build withexiv2 when it's available at build time, if you would like to build the project withoutexiv2, pass-DEXIV2_METADATA_SUPPORT=OFF tocmake. The project will also not useexiv2 if it's not found, theEXIV2_METADATA_SUPPORT option can be useful if you haveexiv2 but specifically don't want to use it.

Image formats supports rely on Qt's imageformats plugins, just get the plugins you need from your distro's package manager will be fine. For Windows user, you may need build and install the imageformats plugin manually, read the content below.

It's possible to build it under Windows, Linux, macOS, and maybe other desktop platforms that Qt is ported to. For platform specific build instructions, please read therelated wiki page.
