Windows
Qt
Download the Qt online installer for Windows from qt-project.org. While installation you have to assemble your Qt toolchain. Take the most recent version of Qt compiled with MinGW. Select "Tools" to install the MinGW compiler package itself alongside Qt. By doing this you don't have to bother with installing one manually. The following steps assumes that Qt is installed at "C:\Qt". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.
MinGW
If you installed MinGW alongside Qt you can skip this step.
Download the MinGW installer for Windows from sourceforge.net. Make sure to install MSYS (a minimalistic set of Unix tools for Windows) and TODO.
System Path
For some tasks it might be useful to use the Windows terminal. Thus you should add Qt/MinGW binaries to the system path to make them globally accessible. Open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced Settings -> .... TODO
Cloning the Repository
Clone the repository (https://github.com/tux3/qTox.git) with your prefered Git client. SmartGit is very nice for this task. The following steps assumes that you cloned the repository at "C:\qTox". If you decided to choose another location, replace corresponding parts.
Tox Core
jenkins.libtoxcore.so provides a prebuild package of Tox Core. Download this package and extract its content to "C:\qTox\libs". You may have to create the directory "libs". If you prefer to compile Tox Core on your own follow the instructions at https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#windows
OpenCV
Unfortunately there are no prebuild packages for OpenCV compiled with MinGW. Thus you have to create your own. First of all download and install the most recent version of CMake from cmake.org. Afterwards download the source archive of OpenCV from sourceforge.net and extract its content to "C:\qTox\libs". Create a new directory named "opencv-build" in "C:\qTox\libs". Now you should have the two directories "opencv-x.y.z" where x.y.z is the version of OpenCV and "opencv-build" inside your "C:\qTox\libs" directory. Run CMake Gui and TODO CHECK FOR MSYS MAKE FILES.
OpenAL Soft
Unlike OpenCV, prebuild packages of OpenAL Soft compiled with MinGW are provided at http://kcat.strangesoft.net. Download the most recent version and extract its content to "C:\qTox\libs". Copy the directory "AL" located at "C:\qTox\libs\openal-soft-x.y.z-bin" to "C:\qTox\libs\include" where x.y.z is the version of OpenAL. Copy the file "soft_oal.dll" located at "C:\qTox\libs\openal-soft-x.y.z-bin\bin\Win32\soft_oal.dll" to "C:\qTox\libs\lib".
Linux
Git
In order to clone the qTox repository you need Git.
Debian:
sudo apt-get install git
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S git
Fedora:
yum install git
GCC and Qt
Debian:
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default
Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S base-devel qt5
Fedora:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install qt-devel qt-doc qt-creator
Cloning the Repository
Open a new Terminal and change to a directory of your choice. To clone the repository use:
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.
Tox Core
First of all install the dependencies of Tox Core.
Debian:
sudo apt-get install libtool autotools-dev automake checkinstall check yasm libopus-dev libvpx-dev
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libtool autotools-dev automake checkinstall check yasm libopus-dev libvpx-dev
Arch Linux: (Arch Linux provides the package "tox-git" in AUR)
sudo pacman -S yasm opus vpx
Fedora:
yum install libtool autoconf automake check check-devel
Now you can either follow the instructions at https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#unix or use the "bootstrap.sh" script located at "/home/user/qTox". The script will automatically download and install Tox Core and libsodium to "/home/user/qTox/libs"
