A Qt library to read/write EFI variables on Linux, FreeBSD (using system library), or Windows (using win32 API) .

# Build

The library only depends on Qt on Linux or *nix OSes. On Windows, it utilizes the WIN32 API and needs Qt.

```shell

mkdir -p build

cd build

cmake ..

```

By default, cmake will configure and build a static lib.

To build a dynamic lib, configure the project with `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On` and then build it.
