## Compilation on Linux ### Install package dependencies: #### Debian/Ubuntu ```bash sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libbz2-dev libjson-c-dev libssl-dev libsqlcipher-dev \ libupnp-dev libxss-dev rapidjson-dev libbotan-2-dev libasio-dev ``` To compile with Qt5: ```bash sudo apt-get install qt5-qmake qtmultimedia5-dev qt6-5compat-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev ``` To compile with Qt6: ```bash sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev qt6-multimedia-dev qt6-5compat-dev ``` Additional dependencies for Feedreader plugin: ```bash sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev ``` Additional dependencies for Voip plugin: ```bash sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \ libqt5multimedia5-plugins libspeexdsp-dev ``` Autologin: ```bash sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev ``` #### openSUSE ```bash sudo zypper install git gcc-c++ cmake libqt5-qtbase-devel \ libqt5-qtmultimedia-devel libqt5-qtx11extras-devel libbz2-devel \ libopenssl-devel libupnp-devel libXss-devel sqlcipher-devel rapidjson-devel \ json-c botan bzip2 ``` Additional packages to compile with Qt6: ```bash sudo zypper install qt6-base-devel qt6-multimedia-devel qt6-qt5compat-devel ``` Additional dependencies for plugins: ```bash sudo zypper install ffmpeg-4-libavcodec-devel libcurl-devel libxml2-devel \ libxslt-devel speex-devel speexdsp-devel ``` #### Linux Mint ```bash sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake qt5-qmake qtmultimedia5-dev \ libqt5x11extras5-dev libupnp-dev libxss-dev libssl-dev libsqlcipher-dev \ rapidjson-dev doxygen libbz2-dev libjson-c-dev libbotan-2-dev libasio-dev ``` #### Arch Linux ```bash pacman -S base-devel libgnome-keyring cmake qt5-tools qt5-multimedia qt5-x11extras \ rapidjson libupnp libxslt libxss sqlcipher botan2 bzip2 json-c ``` ### Checkout the source code ```bash cd ~ git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git retroshare ``` ### Checkout the submodules ```bash cd retroshare git submodule update --init --remote libbitdht/ libretroshare/ openpgpsdk/ retroshare-webui/ git submodule update --init --remote supportlibs/librnp supportlibs/restbed supportlibs/rapidjson ``` ### Compile ```bash qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=rs_jsonapi CONFIG+=rs_webui make ``` The executable produced will be: ```bash ./retroshare-gui/src/retroshare ``` ### Install ```bash sudo make install ``` The executable produced will be: ```bash ~/usr/bin/RetroShare ``` ### For packagers Packagers can use PREFIX and LIB\_DIR to customize the installation paths: ```bash qmake PREFIX=/usr LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64 "CONFIG-=debug" "CONFIG+=release" make make INSTALL_ROOT=${PKGDIR} install ``` ### libsqlcipher If libsqlcipher is not available as a package You need to place sqlcipher so that the hierarchy is: ~Home | +--- retroshare | +--- lib | +---- sqlcipher ```bash mkdir lib cd lib git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git --depth=1 --branch v3.4.1 cd sqlcipher ./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto" make cd .. ``` ### Build infos For the `FeedReader` it is required to append the config option `CONFIG+=retroshare_plugins`. Make sure `plugins/plugins.pro` contains `FeedReader` in the list of plugins to compile. Do not mix plugins compiled with Qt5 with those compiled with Qt6. They work only if they are compiled with the same Qt version as RetroShare. Voip is outdated and is not compileable on the latest Debian. For `Autologin` it is required to append the config option `CONFIG+=rs_autologin`. ### Build options * Mandatory * release or debug: normally you would like to use the release option * Extra features (optional) * rs_autologin: enable autologin * retroshare_plugins: build plugins * rs_webui: enable Web interface * rs_jsonapi: enable json api interface, required by rs_webui * gxsthewire: enable Wire service (experimental) * wikipoos: enable Wiki service (experimental) * rs_use_native_dialogs: enable native dialogs (may cause crashes with some versions of Gtk) * rs_deep_channels_index: build with deep channel indexing support * rs_deep_files_index: build with deep file indexing support * "CONFIG+=..." enable other extra compile time features, you can find the almost complete list in file *<sourcefolder>\retroshare.pri* Example: ```batch qmake CONFIG-=debug CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=rs_use_native_dialog CONFIG+=rs_gui_cmark qmake CONFIG+=rs_jsonapi CONFIG+=rs_webui CONFIG+=rs_autologin qmake CONFIG+=rs_deep_channels_index CONFIG += gxsthewire CONFIG += wikipoos ```
