Conlang creation toolkit. The intent of this tool is to eventually bundle commonly needed functionality into a single easily accessible application. Features currently include

• An improved Lexurgy frontend that supports changing the font (size), as well as Unicode normalisation and simple JS scripting.
• A spreadsheet-based dictionary
• A character map for finding and copying Unicode characters.
• A notes tab for taking notes

Currently, this application is only tested on Linux.

DISCLAIMER: This application is still in development and may not work as expected. The project file format is currently NOT stable and may change at any time.

Building this application requires:

• a recent C++ compiler (Clang 18 or later);
• a recent version of libstdc++ (libc++ isn’t tested and also won’t work unless you link Qt against it);
• a recent version of CMake (3.27 or later);
• an installation of Qt6 (6.6.1 or later should work);
• ICU (International Components for Unicode).

Other dependencies will be downloaded at build time.

To build the application, cd into the project directory and run the following commands

cmake -S . -B out -DSMYTH_QT_PREFIX_PATH=<path-to-qt>/<qt-version>/<platform>
cmake --build out -- -j`nproc`

where <qt-version> is the version of Qt installed on your system, and <platform> the name of your platform. When in doubt, check your Qt directory for the version and available platforms.

For example, my Qt installation is in /opt/Qt, my Qt version is 6.6.1, and my platform is x86_64, for which there is a gcc_64 directory. Putting all of these together, the path I need to specify ends up being /opt/Qt/6.6.1/gcc_64.

If your Qt installation is split up across several directories, set your path to /usr/lib or /usr/lib64. The path you need is the one that contains Qt6Config.cmake in one of its subdirectories.
