To build CRE, you first need to [[:server:server_compiling|build the server]] and install it (''make install'' if running under Linux).

CRE sources are part of the server sources.

====== Requirements ======
You need Qt5 and the associated development package.

Depending on your system, installing ''qt5-default'' may be enough.

==== Distribution Specific Requirements ====

=== Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) ===

  qt5-qmake qt5-qmake-bin qt5-default qtcreator
====== Building ======

Once the server has been built and installed, from the server sources root:

''cd utils/cre && qmake && make''

Make sure to use qmake from Qt version 5, and not a previous version. On Fedora for instance, you need to run qmake-qt5

''cd utils/cre && qmake-qt5 && make''

This should build the tool, to run it:

''utils/cre/cre''

should do the trick.

=== Windows ===

CRE has a pre-compiled .exe available for [[http://crossfire.weeger.org/cre-2021-10-12.exe|download]].
