Compilation on Linux
----------------------------
1. Install package dependencies:
* Debian/Ubuntu
```bash
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
```bash
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
```bash
pacman -S base-devel libgnome-keyring libmicrohttpd libupnp libxslt \
libxss opencv qt4 speex sqlcipher
```
2. Checkout the source code
```bash
mkdir ~/retroshare
cd ~/retroshare
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git trunk
```
3. Compile
```bash
cd trunk
qmake CONFIG+=debug
make
```
4. Install
```bash
sudo make install
```
The executables produced will be:
/usr/bin/RetroShare06
/usr/bin/RetroShare06-nogui
5. Uninstall:
```bash
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:
```bash
qmake
make retroshare-nogui
sudo make retroshare-nogui-install_subtargets
```
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
```
If libsqlcipher is not available as a package
---------------------------------------------
You need to place sqlcipher so that the hierarchy is:
retroshare
|
+--- trunk
|
+--- lib
|
+---- sqlcipher
```bash
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:
```bash
./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:
```bash
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
