Windows compilation
Requirements:
- Visual Studio 2010
- QT 4.8
- Qt Creator
Preparation:
1.- Prepare QTCreator to use the Visual Studio 2010 toolchain and QT 4.8 - 32 bits
2.- Clone or download this repo
3.- Create a folder Release_x32 inside the root of the code that you have just downloaded
4.- Download the required third party libraries from this link: https://mega.nz/#!YwEQzBCK!10kFLaIU8_yEL87Md_GowLdQLE1sxvM3yOngOrQy_Wk
5.- Uncompress that file into src\MEGASync\mega\bindings\qt
6.- Open the project src/MEGA.pro with QTCreator
7.- Select the folder Release_x32 as the target for Release and Debug builds
8.- Build the project
9.- Copy or move the .dll files from the folder src\MEGASync\mega\bindings\qt\3rdparty\bin to the folder Release_x32\MEGASync
10.- Enjoy!
It's recommended to go to Project -> Run in QTCreator and disable the option Run in terminal
OS X compilation
Requirements:
- Xcode
- QT 5.X
Preparation:
1.- Install Xcode in your system
2.- Clone or download this repo
3.- Download the required third party libraries and configuration file (config.h) from this link:
https://mega.nz/#!G5xmTLZY!jB2LyuXRSNGmBo1djUNhRbvy_pa42aDZyhgaTK1PAlI
4.- Uncompress that file and move the folder 3rdparty into src/MEGASync/mega/bindings/qt/ and the file config.h into src/MEGASync/mega/include/mega/
5.- Run the script installer_mac.sh to build the project and generate the application bundle for MEGAsync. If you want to generate an Apple disk image (DMG file), add the flag --create-dmg. Build directory is Release_x64
6.- Enjoy!
Linux compilation
Preparation:
First install dependencies. e.g., for a debian/ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake m4 libtool qt4-qmake make libqt4-dev libcrypto++-dev libsqlite3-dev libc-ares-dev
sudo apt-get install libnautilus-extension-dev
Addition: for RPM based (e.g: Fedora):
sudo dnf libtool install gcc-c++ c-ares-devel cryptopp-devel openssl-devel qt-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel
Building:
cd src
./configure
qmake MEGA.pro
lrelease MEGASync/MEGASync.pro
make
Note: when compiling for Fedora/RHEL/CentOS and alike, qmake and lrelease might be missing for qt4. Use qmake-qt4 and lrelease-qt4 instead. Also, adding -q to configure is recommended in order to download and build cryptopp for RHEL and CentOS.
Known Issues
For Solum, c-ares might not compile do to a CFLAG defined by gcc: -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. This issue and its possible solution is described here c-ares/c-ares#58 and http://ma.tc/ehuboqatec.md.
