----

Most of the dependencies should be available through your package manger. You may either follow the directions below, or simply run `./simple_make.sh` after cloning this repository, which will attempt to automatically download dependencies followed by compilation.

### Install git
In order to clone the qTox repository you need Git.


<a name="arch-git" />
#### Arch Linux:
```bash
sudo pacman -S --needed git
```

<a name="debian-git" />
#### Debian:
```bash
sudo apt-get install git
```

<a name="fedora-git" />
#### Fedora:
*`yum` is now officially deprecated by `dnf`. using `yum` will redirect to `dnf` on Fedora 21 and fail on future versions.*
```bash
sudo dnf install git
```

<a name="opensuse-git" />
#### openSUSE:
```bash
sudo zypper install git
```

<a name="ubuntu-git" />
#### Ubuntu:
```bash
sudo apt-get install git
```


### Clone qTox
Afterwards open a new Terminal, change to a directory of your choice and clone the repository:
```bash
cd /home/user/qTox
git clone https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git qTox
```

The following steps assumes that you cloned the repository at "/home/user/qTox". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.


<a name="other-deps" />
### GCC, Qt, FFmpeg, OpanAL Soft and qrencode

<a name="arch-other-deps" />
#### Arch Linux:
```bash
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel qt5 openal libxss qrencode ffmpeg
```


<a name="debian-other-deps" />
#### Debian:
**Note that only Debian >=8 stable (jessie) is supported.**

If you use stable, you have to add backports to your `sources.list` for FFmpeg and others. Instructions here: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

#### Arch Linux:
```bash
sudo pacman -S --needed opus libvpx libsodium
```

<a name="debian-toxcore" />
#### Debian:

#### Ubuntu >=15.04:
```bash
sudo apt-get install libtool autotools-dev automake checkinstall check libopus-dev libvpx-dev libsodium-dev
```


### filter_audio
This step is  best done before compiling `toxcore`.

Now you can either follow the instructions at https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#unix or use the [`bootstrap.sh`](/bootstrap.sh) script.
The script will automatically download and install `toxcore` and `libfilteraudio`:
```bash
## in qTox directory
./bootstrap.sh # use -h or --help for more information

```
If you've used script, you can skip directly to [compiling qTox](#compile-qtox).

If you want to compile and install it manually:
```
git clone https://github.com/irungentoo/filter_audio
cd filter_audio
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
```

### sqlcipher

If you are not using Fedora, skip this section, and go directly to compiling [**toxcore**](#toxcore-compiling).

This method automatically detects whether to link statically or dynamically,
depending on your system configs.
```
git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher
cd sqlcipher
autoreconf -if
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
cd ..
```
If you wish to explictly link sqlcipher statically or dynamically use:

#### Statically linked:
```
git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher
cd sqlpcipher
./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" \
    LDFLAGS="/opt/local/lib/libcrypto.a"
make
sudo make install
cd ..
```

#### Dynamically linked:
```
git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher
cd sqlcipher
./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" \
    LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
make
sudo make install
cd ..
```

### toxcore compiling

Provided that you have all required dependencies installed, you can simply run:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore.git
cd toxcore
autoreconf -if
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
sudo make install
echo '/usr/local/lib/' | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/locallib.conf
sudo ldconfig
```


### Compile qTox
**Make sure that all the dependencies are installed.**  If you experience problems with compiling, it's most likely due to missing dependencies, so please make sure that you did install *all of them*.

Run in qTox directory to compile:
```bash
qmake
make
```

Now you can start compiled qTox with `./qtox`

Congratulations, you've compiled qTox `:)`


#### openSUSE / Fedora:

Note to Fedora users: check qt5 version before building default is 4.8 on fedora 21 / 22, everything up until qmake-qt5 will build fine but then  qmake-qt5 will freak out.
```bash
qmake-qt5
make
```

#### Debian / Ubuntu / Mint
If the compiling process stops with a missing dependency like: `... libswscale/swscale.h missing` try:
```
apt-file search libswscale/swscale.h
```
And install the package that provides the missing file.
Start make again. Repeat if nessary until all dependencies are installed.  If you can, please note down all additional dependencies you had to install that aren't listed here, and let us know what is missing `;)`


====

### Building packages

Alternately, qTox now has the experimental and probably-dodgy ability to package itself (in .deb
form natively, and .rpm form with <a href="http://joeyh.name/code/alien/">alien</a>).

After installing the required dependencies, run `bootstrap.sh` and then run the
`buildPackages.sh` script, found in the tools folder. It will automatically get the
packages necessary for building .debs, so be prepared to type your password for sudo.


<a name="osx" />
## OS X

Compiling qTox on OS X for development requires 3 tools, [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) and [Qt 5.4+](http://www.qt.io/qt5-4/), and [homebrew](http://brew.sh).

### Automated Script
You can now set up your OS X system to compile qTox automatically thanks to the script in:
`./osx/qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh`

This script can be run independently of the qTox repo and is all that's needed to build from scratch on OS X.

To use this script you must launch terminal which can be found: `Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app`

If you wish to lean more you can run `./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -h`

#### First Run / Install
If you are running the script for the first time you will want to makesure your system is ready.
To do this simply run `./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -i` to run you through the automated install set up.

After running the installation setup you are now ready to build qTox from source, to do this simply run:
`./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -b`

If there aren't any errors then you'll find a locally working qTox application in your home folder under 
`~/qTox-Mac_Build`

#### Updating
If you want to update your application for testing purposes or you want to run a nightly build setup then run:
`./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -u` and follow the prompts. 
(NOTE: If you know you updated the repos before running this hit Y)
followed by
`./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -b`
to build the application once more. (NOTE: This will delete your previous build.)

#### Deploying
OS X requires an extra step to make the `qTox.app` file shareable on a system that doesn't have the required libraries installed already.

If you want to share the build you've made with your other friends who use OS X then simply run:
`./qTox-Mac-Deployer-ULTIMATE.sh -d`

### Manual Compiling
#### Required Libraries
Install homebrew if you don't have it:
```bash
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
```

First, let's install the dependencies available via brew.
```bash
brew install git ffmpeg qrencode libtool automake autoconf check qt5 libvpx opus sqlcipher libsodium
```

Next, install [filter_audio](https://github.com/irungentoo/filter_audio) (you may delete the directory it creates afterwards):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/irungentoo/filter_audio.git
cd filter_audio
sudo make install
cd ../
```

Next, install [Toxcore](https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#osx)

Then, clone qTox:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tux3/qTox``
```

Finally, copy all required files. Whenever you update your brew packages, you may skip all of the above steps and simply run the following commands:
```bash
cd ./git/qTox
sudo bash bootstrap-osx.sh
```

#### Compiling
You can build qTox with Qt Creator [seperate download](http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#section-6) or you can hunt down the version of home brew qt5 your using in the `/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/` directory.
e.g. `/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1_2/bin/qmake` with `5.5.1_2` being the version of Qt5 that's been installed.

With that; in your terminal you can compile qTox in the git dir:
```bash
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1_2/bin/qmake ./qtox.pro
```

Or a cleaner method would be to:
```bash
cd ./git/dir/qTox
mkdir ./build
cd build
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1_2/bin/qmake ../qtox.pro
```

#### Deploying
If you compiled qTox properly you can now deploy the `qTox.app` that's created where you built qTox so you can distribute the package.

Using your qt5 homebrew installation from the build directory:
```bash
/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1_2/bin/macdeployqt ./qTox.app
```

#### Running qTox
You've got 2 choices, either click on the qTox app that suddenly exists, or do the following:
```bash
qtox.app/Contents/MacOS/qtox
```
* Enjoy the snazzy CLI output as your friends and family congratulate you on becoming a hacker

## Windows

### Qt

Download the Qt online installer for Windows from [qt-project.org](http://qt-project.org/downloads).
While installation you have to assemble your Qt toolchain. Take the most recent version of Qt compiled with MinGW.
Although the installer provides its own bundled MinGW compiler toolchain its recommend installing it separately because Qt is missing MSYS which is needed to compile and install OpenCV and OpenAL. Thus you can - if needed - deselect the tab "Tools".
The following steps assume that Qt is installed at "C:\Qt". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.

### MinGW

Download the MinGW installer for Windows from [sourceforge.net](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/).
Make sure to install MSYS (a set of Unix tools for Windows).
The following steps assume that MinGW is installed at "C:\MinGW". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.
Check that the version of MinGW, corresponds to the version of the QT component!

### WGet
Download the WGet installer for Windows from(
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm).
Install them. The following steps assume that WGet is installed at "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.

### Setting up Path

Add MinGW/MSYS/CMake binaries to the system path to make them globally accessible.
Open Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables...(or run "sysdm.cpl" select tab "Advanced system settings" -> button "Environment Variables")
In the second box search for the PATH variable and press Edit...
The input box "Variable value:" should already contain some directories. Each directory is separated with a semicolon.
Extend the input box by adding ";C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin;C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin".
The very first semicolon must only be added if it is missing. CMake may be added by installer automatically.

### Cloning the Repository

Clone the repository (https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git) with your preferred  Git client. [SmartGit](http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/) is very nice for this task (you may need to add the path to the git.exe system variable Path).
The following steps assume that you cloned the repository at "C:\qTox". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.

### Getting dependencies
Run bootstrap.bat in cloned C:\qTox directory
Script will download rest of dependencies compile them and put to appropriate directories.
