To compile, first clone or download the toxgui repository and open a terminal in the toxgui folder.
|
||||
Then run the script bootstrap.sh (for Linux and Mac) or bootsrap.bat (for Windows) to download an up-to-date toxcore.
|
||||
And finally run the commands "qmake" and "make" to start building toxgui.

<h3>OSX Install Guide</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>This guide is intended for people who wish to use an existing or new ProjectTox-Core installation separate to the bundled installation with toxgui, if you do not wish to use a separate installation you can skip to the section titled 'Final Steps'.</strong>
|
||||
|
||||
Installation on OSX, isn't quite straight forward, here is a quick guide on how to install;
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing you need to do is install ProjectTox-Core with a/v support. Refer to the INSTALL guide in the ProjectTox-Core github repo.
|
||||
|
||||
Next you need to download QtTools (http://qt-project.org/downloads), at the time of writing this is at version 5.3.0.
|
||||
Make sure you deselect all the unnecessary components from the 5.3 checkbox (iOS/Android libs) otherwise you will end up with a very large download.
|
||||
|
||||
Once that is installed you will most likely need to set the path for qmake. To do this, open up terminal and paste in the following;
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export PATH=/location/to/qmake/binary:$PATH
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For myself, the qmake binary was located in /Users/mouseym/Qt/5.3/clang_64/bin/.
|
||||
|
||||
Once this is installed, do the following;
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/tux3/toxgui
|
||||
cd toxgui
|
||||
qmake
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Do not run make, as we need further modifications to toxgui.
|
||||
|
||||
Open up the Makefile in a text editor (TextEdit/TextWrangler, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to modify the Makefile to point to your toxcore libs/includes.
|
||||
|
||||
The first change you will need to make is to point the Makefile towards the tox libs installed on your system. (Generally this is /usr/local/libs/).
|
||||
|
||||
Look for the line in the Makefile which references /toxgui/lib/libs/ and replace with the above).
|
||||
|
||||
The second change to Makefile is to add the location of the includes (On my system these were placed in /usr/local/include/tox/).
|
||||
|
||||
To do this, search for the INCLUDES line and add the following to the end;
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
-I/usr/local/include/tox/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save the Makefile.
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Final Steps</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
Open up TextEdit/TextWrangler/etc and open up the widget/filetransfertwidget.cpp file and add the following include;
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#include <math.h>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will stop toxgui failing to make under OSX.
|
||||
|
||||
The final step is to run
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
in the toxgui directory, or if you are using the bundled tox core installation, you can use
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./bootstrap.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
Assuming all went well you should now have a toxgui.app file within the directory. Double click and it should open!
