Installing the Dependencies

Vantor requires the following tools to be installed before building:

• Python (3.10 or higher recommended)
• CMake
• Git
• C++ 20 compatible compiler
• make (GNU Make)

These dependencies must be installed and available in your system's PATH.

Platform Instructions

Linux

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 cmake git make

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S python cmake git make

Windows

Windows with Chocolatey

• Install Chocolatey on Windows using this link.

• Run the following in an administrator PowerShell:

choco install python cmake git make

Cross-Platform Building

Vantor supports cross-compiling from Linux to Windows using x86_64-w64-mingw32. Example for Ubuntu:

sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64

To target Windows, Vantor uses this toolchain automatically if detected.

note

Cross-compiling from Windows to Linux is not supported. If you want to build for Linux on Windows, you must use WSL. We recommend using WSL2 with an Ubuntu distribution.
