To build Qt frontend:

    $ sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev

To build wxWidgets frontend:

    $ sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev

Embedded Third Party Components

Packaging

Debian based packages included to project:

    packages/ubuntu -- debian package for Ubuntu, with Qt frontend
    packages/openinkpot -- debian package for OpenInkpot, with XCB frontend

To build debian package, copy one of package descriptions from packages directory:

    cp -r packages/ubuntu/debian debian
    Then, package can be built using `debuild` command.

Android Build Instructions

  • Deploy/update third party libraries: in terminal call script thirdparty-deploy.sh

In Windows can be used git bash terminal

    $ ./thirdparty-deploy.sh
  • Use Android Studio - open subdirectory "android" as Android Studio project

Ensure that you have Android SDK and NDK installed

CMake Build Instructions (Linux)

In case the installed libraries are outdated, run the thirdparty-deploy.sh script to download libraries sources of the recommended versions. In this case, the build system will build static libraries that were not found in the system.

    $ ./thirdparty-deploy.sh

Building Qt version (qtbase5-dev, qttools5-dev should be installed)

    mkdir qtbuild
    cd qtbuild
    cmake -D GUI=QT5 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D MAX_IMAGE_SCALE_MUL=2 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1400000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make
    sudo make install

Building Qt version, in DEBUG mode

    mkdir qtbuild
    cd qtbuild
    cmake -D GUI=QT5 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D MAX_IMAGE_SCALE_MUL=2 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1400000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make
    sudo make install

Building wxWidgets version (libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev should be installed)

    mkdir wxbuild
    cd wxbuild
    cmake -D GUI=WX -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D MAX_IMAGE_SCALE_MUL=2 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1400000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make

Qt Build under Windows (Using MSYS2)

Run "MSYS2 MSYS" from start menu

    $ pacman -Sy
    $ pacman -Su

Run "MSYS2 MSYS" from Start menu again.
Update the rest of the base packages:

    $ pacman -Su
  • Install build tools & dependencies:

Run "MSYS2 MSYS" from start menu.
Using pacman package manager install required packages:

    $ pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
    $ pacman -S git curl
    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-pkgconf mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib mingw-w64-x86_64-libpng mingw-w64-x86_64-libjpeg-turbo mingw-w64-x86_64-freetype mingw-w64-x86_64-fontconfig mingw-w64-x86_64-harfbuzz mingw-w64-x86_64-fribidi mingw-w64-x86_64-zstd

    To build Qt frontend:

    $ pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
  • Prepare:

Run "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" from start menu

    $ git clone https://github.com/buggins/coolreader.git
    $ cd coolreader

Since package libunibreak not exists in MSYS2, we must build static version of this library, to do this, we need to call the script thirdparty-deploy.sh to download sources:

    $ ./thirdparty-deploy.sh

Build system will build static libraries that were not found in the system.

  • Compile:

Now we can build program:

    $ mkdir qtbuild
    $ cd qtbuild
    $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D GUI=QT5 -D MAX_IMAGE_SCALE_MUL=2 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1400000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..
    $ make
    $ make install

Now in qtbuild/dist directory we have CoolReader binary & data.
To add Qt runtime libraries, call:

    $ cd dist
    $ windeployqt --compiler-runtime --no-webkit2 --no-angle --no-opengl-sw --no-quick-import .

To add thirdparty runtime libraries, call:

    $ cp -pv /mingw64/bin/{libfontconfig-1.dll,libexpat-1.dll,libfreetype-6.dll,libbz2-1.dll,libbrotlidec.dll,libbrotlicommon.dll,libharfbuzz-0.dll,libglib-2.0-0.dll,libintl-8.dll,libiconv-2.dll,libpcre-1.dll,libgraphite2.dll,libpng16-16.dll,zlib1.dll,libfribidi-0.dll,libjpeg-8.dll,libutf8proc.dll,libzstd.dll,libdouble-conversion.dll,libicuin68.dll,libicuuc68.dll,libicudt68.dll,libpcre2-16-0.dll} .

After updating any library in MSYS 2, this list may need to be corrected. If after that the program does not start with an error about the missing dll, then you need to copy this library from /mingw64/bin/ to qtbuild/dist.

Qt Build under Windows (Using Qt SDK, obsolete)

Using Qt SDK

Environment setup:

  • Download and install Qt SDK, git, cmake, msys
  • Copy contents of git and cmake dirs to QT/mingw/
  • Copy make.exe from msys/bin to QT/mingw/bin

Run Qt SDK / Qt Command Prompt. Execute:

    > sh
    > git clone https://github.com/buggins/coolreader.git
    > cd coolreader
    > mkdir qtbuild
    > cd qtbuild
    > cmake -D GUI=QT -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "MSYS Makefiles" -D USE_QT_ZLIB=1 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..
    > make
    > make install

    cmake -D GUI=QT -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" -D USE_QT_ZLIB=1 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1500000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..
    cmake -D GUI=QT -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Visual Studio 10" -D USE_QT_ZLIB=1  -D MAX_IMAGE_SCALE_MUL=2 -D DOC_DATA_COMPRESSION_LEVEL=3 -D DOC_BUFFER_SIZE=0x1500000 -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..

to disable console, use /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS linker option instead of /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE

For Qt5, use GUI=QT5 instead of GUI=QT

For building Qt5 app from QtCreator remove -G (generator) parameter:

Release build:

	-D GUI=QT5 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..

Debug build:

	-D GUI=QT5 -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=dist ..

It will put built cr3.exe and all necessary distribution files to directory qtbuild/dist.

You need also add following DLLs to this directory in order to get cr3.exe working:

    - mingwm10.dll
    - QtCore4.dll
    - QtGui4.dll
    - libz.dll
