Compilation
Compilation on Linux
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
In Ubuntu 18.04 and Debian 9 there's no libqtmultimediakit1 and qtmobility-dev packages available. In order to compile in Ubuntu 18.04 you need to install these extra/alternative packages:
sudo apt-get install libqt5x11extras5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev qttools5-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 sqlcipher
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 install
The executables produced will be:
- /usr/bin/RetroShare06
- /usr/bin/RetroShare06-nogui
Compile retroshare-nogui only
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
libsqlcipher
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 ..
Compile and run tests
qmake CONFIG+=tests
make
tests/unittests/unittests
Compilation on Windows
Qt Installation
Install Qt via: Qt Download
Use default options.
Add to the PATH environment variable
;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
Choose your MSYS2 installer here: MSYS2
Follow install procedure.
Don't forget to sync & Update pacman.
pacman --needed -Sy bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime
Restart console
pacman -Su
Install all default programms
pacman -S base-devel git mercurial cvs wget p7zip gcc perl ruby python2
Choose only w64-i686 if you want only compilation in 32b architecture.
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
Install other binutils:
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-opencv mingw-w64-x86_64-opencv
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-ffmpeg mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg

pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-libxslt mingw-w64-x86_64-libxslt
Add MSYS2 to PATH environment variable depends your windows
;C:\msys64\mingw32\bin
;C:\msys32\mingw32\bin
Git Installation
Install Git Gui or other client: Git Scm
Create a new directory named:
C:\Development\GIT
Right-click on it and choose: Git Bash Here
Paste this text on git console:
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git
Last Settings
In QtCreator Option Git add its path: C:\Program Files\Git\bin 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 to link the files in
\build-RetroShare-Desktop_Qt_X_Y_Z_MinGW_32bit-Debug\plugins\PluginName\debug\*.dll
to
%appdata%\RetroShare\extensions6
Compilation on MacOS
Qt Installation
Install Qt via: Qt Download
Use default options.
Add to the PATH environment variable with this temporary solution.
export PATH=/users/$USER/Qt/5.5/clang_64/bin:$PATH
Depends on wich version of Qt you use.
MacPort Installation
Install MacPort and XCode following this guide: MacPort and XCode
Start XCode to get it updated and to able C compiler to create executables.
Install libraries
$sudo port -v selfupdate
$sudo port install openssl
$sudo port install miniupnpc
For VOIP Plugin:
$sudo port install speex-devel
$sudo port install opencv
Get Your OSX SDK if missing: MacOSX-SDKs
Last Settings
In QtCreator Option Git add its path:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin
and select "Pull" with "Rebase"
Compil missing libraries
SQLCipher
cd <your development directory>
git clone https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
cd sqlcipher
./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
make
sudo make install
NOTE, might be necessary to chmod 000 /usr/local/ssl temporarily during ./configure if homebrew uses newer, non-stock ssl dependencies found there. configure might get confused.
libMicroHTTPD
The one with port don't have good support.
cd <your development directory>
wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libmicrohttpd/libmicrohttpd-0.9.46.tar.gz
tar zxvf libmicrohttpd-0.9.46.tar.gz
cd libmicrohttpd-0.9.46
bash ./configure
sudo make install
You can now compile RS into Qt Creator or with terminal
cd <your development directory>
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git retroshare
cd retroshare
qmake; make
You can find compiled application on ./retroshare/retroshare-gui/src/RetroShare06.app
