The crash was introduced at 533dbef0c79b37b6c50c9176235d2e5d0193918b This has been particurarly tricky as lot of different parts contributed in causing unexpected behaviours When the activity is created onNewIntent is not called and we have to get the intent data from C++ bu other means, but C++ code is running in a different thread so there is no guarantee that the intent data is reacheable yet on starting, so the C++ code has to wait for the intent data being ready, but paying attention to not cause a deadlock beetween the two thread (the android ui thread may be waiting for some operation performed by Qt) Because of notification intent flags not properly set the activity was recreated also if it was already on top, this caused a nasty interaction between android ui thread and qt thread that derived in a deadlock, to avoid this lot of try/error has been made until the proper soup of manifest and intent flags has been found At this point link handling, notification handling, and Activity closing should work as expected without any deadlock or crash

Checkout the source code
mkdir ~/retroshare cd ~/retroshare git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git trunk -
Compile
cd trunk qmake CONFIG+=debug make -
Install
sudo make installThe executables produced will be:
/usr/bin/RetroShare06 /usr/bin/RetroShare06-nogui -
Uninstall:
sudo make uninstall
Compile only retroshare-nogui
If you want to run RetroShare on a server and don’t 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
