### 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.
|
The resulting binary is a 32-bit build of Retroshare which will also work
|
||||||
Add to the PATH environment variable
|
fine on a 64-bit system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
;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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### MSYS2 INSTALLATION
|
### 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.
|
Run the installer and install MSYS2.
|
||||||
Don't forget to sync & Update pacman.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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 -Syu
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Close the terminal window.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Run MSYS2 MSYS again and finish updating with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pacman -Su
|
pacman -Su
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install all default programms
|
Install the default programs needed to build:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pacman -S base-devel git mercurial cvs wget p7zip gcc perl ruby python2
|
pacman -S base-devel git wget p7zip gcc perl ruby python2
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Choose only w64-i686 if you want only compilation in 32b architecture.
|
Install the 32-bit toolchain:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
|
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Install other binutils:
|
Install all needed dependencies:
|
||||||
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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Add MSYS2 to PATH environment variable depends your windows
|
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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
;C:\msys64\mingw32\bin
|
We're done installing MSYS2, close the shell terminal.
|
||||||
;C:\msys32\mingw32\bin
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### BUILDING RETROSHARE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Git Installation
|
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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install Git Gui or other client: [Git Scm](https://git-scm.com/download/win)
|
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create a new directory named:
|
Go to the RetroShare directory and configure to your liking, for example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
C:\Development\GIT
|
cd RetroShare
|
||||||
|
qmake -r -Wall -spec win32-g++ "CONFIG+=debug" "DEFINES+=RS_AUTOLOGIN"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Right-click on it and choose: *Git Bash Here*
|
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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Paste this text on git console:
|
mingw32-make -j4
|
||||||
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Last Settings
|
Make sure your current Retroshare is not running. Then just run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
retroshare-gui/src/debug/retroshare.exe
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In QtCreator Option Git add its path: *C:\Program Files\Git\bin*
|
You'll get debug output in the terminal and a running Retroshare instance.
|
||||||
and select "Pull" with "Rebase"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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
