### Compiling ImHex on Linux

On Linux, ImHex is built through regular GCC (or optionally Clang).

1. Clone the repo using `git clone https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex --recurse-submodules`
2. Install the dependencies using one of the `dist/get_deps_*.sh` scripts. Choose the one that matches your distro.
3. Build ImHex itself using the following commands:
```sh
cd ImHex
mkdir -p build
cd build
CC=gcc-12 CXX=g++-12                          \
cmake -G "Ninja"                              \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release                \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr"             \
    ..
ninja install
```

All paths follow the XDG Base Directories standard, and can thus be modified
with the environment variables `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_DIRS`,
`XDG_DATA_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
