Gioacchino Mazzurco 30bb84c4a9 Save persistently that default identity is created
In 943a4213fb default identity creation
  burst has been solved but some times the duplication happens in
  sequent instances of the app, now te app store permanently if default
  identity has been created so this other kind of duplication is avoided
  too (hopefully)

Compilation on Windows

Follow this file : WindowsMSys2_InstallGuide.md

Compilation on MacOSX

Follow this file : MacOS_X_InstallGuide

Compilation for Android

Follow this file : README-Android

Compilation on Linux

  1. Install package dependencies:

    • Debian/Ubuntu
    sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libupnp-dev qt4-dev-tools \
        libqt4-dev libssl-dev libxss-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libbz2-dev \
        libqt4-opengl-dev libqtmultimediakit1 qtmobility-dev libsqlcipher-dev \
        libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
        libopencv-dev tcl8.5 libmicrohttpd-dev
    
    • openSUSE
    sudo zypper install gcc-c++ libqt4-devel libgnome-keyring-devel \
        glib2-devel speex-devel libssh-devel protobuf-devel libcurl-devel \
        libxml2-devel libxslt-devel sqlcipher-devel libmicrohttpd-devel \
        opencv-devel speexdsp-devel libupnp-devel libavcodec-devel
    
    • Arch Linux
    pacman -S base-devel libgnome-keyring libmicrohttpd libupnp libxslt \
        libxss opencv qt4 speex speexdsp sqlcipher
    
  2. Checkout the source code

    mkdir ~/retroshare
    cd ~/retroshare 
    git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git trunk
    
  3. Compile

    cd trunk
    qmake CONFIG+=debug
    make
    
  4. Install

    sudo make install
    

    The executables produced will be:

      /usr/bin/RetroShare06
      /usr/bin/RetroShare06-nogui
    
  5. Uninstall:

    sudo make uninstall
    

Compile only retroshare-nogui

If you want to run RetroShare on a server and dont need the gui and plugins, you can run the following commands to only compile/install the nogui version:

qmake
make retroshare-nogui
sudo make retroshare-nogui-install_subtargets

For packagers

Packagers can use PREFIX and LIB_DIR to customize the installation paths:

qmake PREFIX=/usr LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64 "CONFIG-=debug" "CONFIG+=release"
make
make INSTALL_ROOT=${PKGDIR} install

If libsqlcipher is not available as a package

You need to place sqlcipher so that the hierarchy is:

  retroshare
      |
      +--- trunk
      |
      +--- lib
            |
            +---- sqlcipher
mkdir lib
cd lib
git clone git://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
cd sqlcipher
./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
make
cd ..

Using retroshare-nogui & webUI

The webUI needs to be enabled as a parameter option in retroshare-nogui:

./retroshare-nogui --webinterface 9090 --docroot /usr/share/RetroShare06/webui/

The webUI is only accessible on localhost:9090. It is advised to keep it that way so that your RS cannot be controlled using an untrusted connection.

To access your web UI from a distance, just open a SSH tunnel on it:

distant_machine:~/ >  ssh rs_host -L 9090:localhost:9090 -N

"rs_host" is the machine running retroshare-nogui. Then on the distant machine, access your webUI on

  http://localhost:9090

That also works with a retroshare GUI of course.

Compile and run tests

  qmake CONFIG+=tests
  make
  tests/unittests/unittests
