<a name="freebsd-easy" />
|
|
#### FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
A qTox port is available at ``net-im/qTox``. To build and install qTox:
|
|
|

|
----
|
|
|
|
If your distribution is not listed, or you want / need to compile qTox, there are provided instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
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/
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libopenal-dev libxss-dev qrencode libqrencode-dev libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev ffmpeg libsqlcipher-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="fedora-other-deps" />
|
|
#### Fedora:
|
|
**Note that sqlcipher is not included in Fedora(!).**
|
|
|
|
**This means that you have to compile sqlcipher yourself, otherwise compiling qTox will fail.**
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf group install "Development Tools"
|
|
sudo dnf install qt-devel qt-doc qt-creator qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtsvg-devel openal-soft-devel libXScrnSaver-devel qrencode-devel ffmpeg-devel qtsingleapplication qt5-linguist gtk2-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Go to [sqlcipher](#sqlcipher) section to compile it.**
|
|
|
|
<a name="opensuse-other-deps" />
|
|
#### openSUSE:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo zypper install patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis libqt5-qtbase-common-devel libqt5-qtsvg-devel libqt5-linguist libQt5Network-devel libQt5OpenGL-devel libQt5Concurrent-devel libQt5Xml-devel libQt5Sql-devel openal-soft-devel qrencode-devel libXScrnSaver-devel libQt5Sql5-sqlite libffmpeg-devel sqlcipher-devel

<a name="slackware-other-deps" />
|
|
#### Slackware:
|
|
|
|
List of all the ``qTox`` dependencies and their SlackBuilds can be found here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/network/qTox/
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="ubuntu14-other-deps" />
|
|
#### Ubuntu <15.04:
|
|
**Note that FFmpeg is not included in those distribution version(!).**
|
|
|
|
**This means that you have to compile FFmpeg yourself, otherwise compiling qTox will fail.**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libopenal-dev libxss-dev qrencode libqrencode-dev libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libsqlcipher-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Go to [FFmpeg](#ffmpeg) section to compile it.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="ubuntu-other-deps" />
|
|
#### Ubuntu >=15.04:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential qt5-qmake qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libopenal-dev libxss-dev qrencode libqrencode-dev libavutil-ffmpeg-dev libswresample-ffmpeg-dev libavcodec-ffmpeg-dev libswscale-ffmpeg-dev libavfilter-ffmpeg-dev libavdevice-ffmpeg-dev libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libsqlcipher-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### FFmpeg
|
|
|
|
If you have installed FFmpeg earlier (i.e. you don't run Ubuntu <15.04), skip this section, and go directly to installing [**toxcore**](#toxcore-dependencies).
|
|
|
|
To get ffmpeg compiled and put in directory `libs`, run this script in qTox directory:
|
|
```bash
|
|
[ ! -e "libs" ] && mkdir libs # create directory libs if doesn't exist
|
|
[ ! -e "ffmpeg" ] && mkdir ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
cd libs/
|
|
export PREFIX_DIR="$PWD"
|
|
|
|
cd ../ffmpeg
|
|
wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-2.7.2.tar.bz2
|
|
tar xf ffmpeg*
|
|
cd ffmpeg*

make -j$(nproc)
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
cd ../../
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### toxcore dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install all of the toxcore dependencies.
|
|
|
|
<a name="arch-toxcore" />
|
|
#### Arch Linux:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pacman -S --needed opus libvpx libsodium
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<a name="debian-toxcore" />
|
|
#### Debian:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install libtool autotools-dev automake checkinstall check libopus-dev libvpx-dev libsodium-dev libavdevice-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<a name="fedora-toxcore" />
|
|
#### Fedora:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install libtool autoconf automake check check-devel libsodium-devel opus-devel libvpx-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<a name="opensuse-toxcore" />
|
|
#### openSUSE:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo zypper install libsodium-devel libvpx-devel libopus-devel patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<a name="slackware-toxcore" />
|
|
#### Slackware:
|
|
|
|
List of all the ``toxcore`` dependencies and their SlackBuilds can be found here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/network/toxcore/
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="ubuntu14-toxcore" />
|
|
#### Ubuntu <15.04:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install libtool autotools-dev automake checkinstall check libopus-dev libvpx-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will need to install manually `libsodium`:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git
|
|
cd libsodium
|
|
git checkout tags/1.0.8
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure && make check
|
|
sudo checkinstall --install --pkgname libsodium --pkgversion 1.0.0 --nodoc
|
|
sudo ldconfig
|
|
cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="ubuntu-toxcore" />
|
|
#### 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you had to compile [FFmpeg](#ffmpeg) manually, run this script from qTox directory before starting qTox:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd libs/lib
|
|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD"
|
|
cd ../../
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```

## 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.
