## Compilation on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
### Qt Installation
|
||||
The preferred build method on Windows is by using MSYS2 which is a collection
|
||||
of packages providing unix-like tools to build native Windows software.
|
||||
|
||||
Install Qt via: [Qt Download](http://www.qt.io/download/)
|
||||
Requirements: about 12 GB of free space
|
||||
|
||||
Use default options.
|
||||
Add to the PATH environment variable
|
||||
|
||||
;C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\bin;C:\Qt\Tools\mingw492_32\opt\bin
|
||||
|
||||
Depends on wich version of Qt you use.
|
||||
Change build-all-mingw32make.bat with these values too if you don't use MSys2.
|
||||
The resulting binary is a 32-bit build of Retroshare which will also work
|
||||
fine on a 64-bit system.
|
||||
|
||||
### MSYS2 INSTALLATION
|
||||
|
||||
Choose your MSYS2 installer here: [MSYS2](http://msys2.github.io/)
|
||||
Download MSYS2 from [MSYS2](http://www.msys2.org/). Get the i686 version
|
||||
if you run a 32-bit Windows or the x86_64 if you run a 64-bit Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow install procedure.
|
||||
Don't forget to sync & Update pacman.
|
||||
Run the installer and install MSYS2.
|
||||
|
||||
pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
|
||||
At the end of the installation, it'll automatically open an MSYS shell terminal.
|
||||
You can also find it on the start menu as MSYS2 MSYS. This is the shell you'll
|
||||
use to install packages with pacman and do maintenance but NOT to build
|
||||
RetroShare.
|
||||
|
||||
Restart console
|
||||
First, update your MSYS2 environment to the latest version by typing:
|
||||
|
||||
pacman -Su
|
||||
pacman -Syu
|
||||
|
||||
Install all default programms
|
||||
Close the terminal window.
|
||||
|
||||
pacman -S base-devel git mercurial cvs wget p7zip gcc perl ruby python2
|
||||
Run MSYS2 MSYS again and finish updating with:
|
||||
|
||||
Choose only w64-i686 if you want only compilation in 32b architecture.
|
||||
pacman -Su
|
||||
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
|
||||
Install the default programs needed to build:
|
||||
|
||||
### Install other binutils:
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-miniupnpc mingw-w64-x86_64-miniupnpc
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-sqlite3 mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-speex mingw-w64-x86_64-speex
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-speexdsp mingw-w64-x86_64-speexdsp
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-opencv mingw-w64-x86_64-opencv
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-ffmpeg mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libmicrohttpd mingw-w64-x86_64-libmicrohttpd
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libxslt mingw-w64-x86_64-libxslt
|
||||
pacman -S base-devel git wget p7zip gcc perl ruby python2
|
||||
|
||||
Add MSYS2 to PATH environment variable depends your windows
|
||||
Install the 32-bit toolchain:
|
||||
|
||||
;C:\msys64\mingw32\bin
|
||||
;C:\msys32\mingw32\bin
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
|
||||
|
||||
Install all needed dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
### Git Installation
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-miniupnpc
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libmicrohttpd
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libxslt
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-xapian-core
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-sqlcipher
|
||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-qt5
|
||||
|
||||
Install Git Gui or other client: [Git Scm](https://git-scm.com/download/win)
|
||||
We're done installing MSYS2, close the shell terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new directory named:
|
||||
### BUILDING RETROSHARE
|
||||
|
||||
C:\Development\GIT
|
||||
Now run the MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit shell terminal (it's in the start menu).
|
||||
We will use it to checkout Retroshare and build it:
|
||||
|
||||
Right-click on it and choose: *Git Bash Here*
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git
|
||||
|
||||
Paste this text on git console:
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git
|
||||
Go to the RetroShare directory and configure to your liking, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
cd RetroShare
|
||||
qmake -r -Wall -spec win32-g++ "CONFIG+=debug" "DEFINES+=RS_AUTOLOGIN"
|
||||
|
||||
Now we're ready to build Retroshare. Use the '-j' option with the number of
|
||||
cores you have for a faster build, for instance if you have 4 cores:
|
||||
|
||||
### Last Settings
|
||||
mingw32-make -j4
|
||||
|
||||
Note: as of 2018-08-03 the build might fail once in libres during the HTML generation.
|
||||
If you get it, just run mingw32-make again and it will pass.
|
||||
|
||||
In QtCreator Option Git add its path: *C:\Program Files\Git\bin*
|
||||
and select "Pull" with "Rebase"
|
||||
Make sure your current Retroshare is not running. Then just run:
|
||||
|
||||
retroshare-gui/src/debug/retroshare.exe
|
||||
|
||||
Open an MSys2 32|64 shell
|
||||
Move to build_scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
cd /c/Development/GIT/RetroShare/msys2_build_libs/
|
||||
|
||||
### Compile missing library
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
You can now compile RS into Qt Creator
|
||||
|
||||
For using, and debugging Plugins, you can use [Symlinker](http://amd989.github.io/Symlinker/) to link
|
||||
the files in
|
||||
|
||||
\build-RetroShare-Desktop_Qt_X_Y_Z_MinGW_32bit-Debug\plugins\PluginName\debug\*.dll
|
||||
to
|
||||
*%appdata%\RetroShare\extensions6*
|
||||
You'll get debug output in the terminal and a running Retroshare instance.
