cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cpack -G DEB # Or RPM, ZIP etc.
To build KDiskMark with Qt6 instead of the default Qt5, use the USE_QT6
flag during the CMake configuration step:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D USE_QT6=ON ..
cpack -G DEB # Or RPM, ZIP etc.
To help with localization you can use Crowdin or translate files in data/translations
with Qt Linguist directly. To add a new language, copy data/translations/kdiskmark.ts
to data/translations/kdiskmark_<ISO 639-1 language code>_<ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 language code>.ts
, translate it, then add the file to the TS_FILES variable in CMakeLists.txt, and create a pull request. It is also possible to add localized Comment and Keywords sections into data/kdiskmark.desktop
and message for PolicyKit authorization into data/dev.jonmagon.kdiskmark.helper.policy
.
