Appendix A: Building the Client
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
This section explains how to build the ownCloud Client from source for all
|
|
major platforms. You should read this section if you want to develop for the
|
|
desktop client.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Building instruction are subject to change as development proceeds.
|
|
Please check the version for which you want to build.
|
|
|
|
The instructions contained in this topic were updated to work with version 1.7 of the ownCloud Client.
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
1. Add the `ownCloud repository from OBS`_.
|
|
2. Install the dependencies (as root, or using ``sudo``) using the following commands for your specific Linux distribution:
|
|
|
|
* Debian/Ubuntu: ``apt-get update; apt-get build-dep owncloud-client``
|
|
* openSUSE: ``zypper ref; zypper si -d owncloud-client``
|
|
* Fedora/CentOS: ``yum install yum-utils; yum-builddep owncloud-client``
|
|
|
|
3. Follow the `generic build instructions`_.
|
|
|
|
4. (Optional) Call ``make install`` to install the client to the ``/usr/local/bin`` directory.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This step requires the ``mingw32-cross-nsis`` packages be installed on
|
|
Windows.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
In additon to needing XCode (along with the command line tools), developing in
|
|
the MAC OS X environment requires extra dependencies. You can install these
|
|
dependencies through MacPorts_ or Homebrew_. These dependencies are required
|
|
only on the build machine, because non-standard libs are deployed in the app
|
|
bundle.
|
|
|
|
The tested and preferred way to develop in this environment is through the use
|
|
of HomeBrew_. The ownCloud team has its own repository containing non-standard
|
|
recipes.
|
|
|
|
To set up your build enviroment for development using HomeBrew_:
|
|
|
|
1. Add the ownCloud repository using the following command::
|
|
|
|
brew tap owncloud/owncloud
|
|
|
|
2. Install any missing dependencies::
|
|
|
|
brew install $(brew deps mirall)
|
|
|
|
3. Add Qt from brew to the path::
|
|
|
|
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.x.y/bin/qmake
|
|
|
|
Where ``x.z`` is the current version of Qt 5 that brew has installed
|
|
on your machine.
|
|
|
|
5. For compilation of mirall, follow the `generic build instructions`_.
|
|
|
|
6. In the build directory, run ``admin/osx/create_mac.sh <build_dir>
|
|
<install_dir>``. If you have a developer signing certificate, you can specify
|
|
its Common Name as a third parameter (use quotes) to have the package
|
|
signed automatically.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Contrary to earlier versions, ownCloud 1.7 and later are packaged
|
|
as a ``pkg`` installer. Do not call "make package" at any time when
|
|
compiling for OS X, as this will build a disk image, and will not
|
|
work correctly.
|
|
|
|
Windows (Cross-Compile)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Due to the large number of dependencies, building the client for Windows is
|
|
**currently only supported on openSUSE**, by using the MinGW cross compiler.
|
|
You can set up openSUSE 12.1, 12.2, or 13.1 in a virtual machine if you do not
|
|
have it installed already.
|
|
|
|
To cross-compile:
|
|
|
|
1. Add the following repositories using YaST or ``zypper ar`` (adjust when using openSUSE 12.2 or 13.1)::
|
|
|
|
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_13.1/windows:mingw:win32.repo
|
|
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw/openSUSE_13.1/windows:mingw.repo
|
|
|
|
2. Install the cross-compiler packages and the cross-compiled dependencies::
|
|
|
|
zypper install cmake make mingw32-cross-binutils mingw32-cross-cpp mingw32-cross-gcc \
|
|
mingw32-cross-gcc-c++ mingw32-cross-pkg-config mingw32-filesystem \
|
|
mingw32-headers mingw32-runtime site-config mingw32-libqt4-sql \
|
|
mingw32-libqt4-sql-sqlite mingw32-sqlite mingw32-libsqlite-devel \
|
|
mingw32-dlfcn-devel mingw32-libssh2-devel kdewin-png2ico \
|
|
mingw32-libqt4 mingw32-libqt4-devel mingw32-libgcrypt \
|
|
mingw32-libgnutls mingw32-libneon-openssl mingw32-libneon-devel \
|
|
mingw32-libbeecrypt mingw32-libopenssl mingw32-openssl \
|
|
mingw32-libpng-devel mingw32-libsqlite mingw32-qtkeychain \
|
|
mingw32-qtkeychain-devel mingw32-dlfcn mingw32-libintl-devel \
|
|
mingw32-libneon-devel mingw32-libopenssl-devel mingw32-libproxy-devel \
|
|
mingw32-libxml2-devel mingw32-zlib-devel
|
|
|
|
3. For the installer, install the NSIS installer package::
|
|
|
|
zypper install mingw32-cross-nsis
|
|
|
|
4. Install the following plugin::
|
|
|
|
mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-processes mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-uac
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This plugin is typically required. However, due to a current bug
|
|
in ``mingw``, the plugins do not currently build properly from source.
|
|
|
|
5. Manually download and install the following files using ``rpm -ivh <package>``:
|
|
|
|
.. note:: These files also work for more recent openSUSE versions!
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
rpm -ivh http://download.tomahawk-player.org/packman/mingw:32/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-processes-0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
rpm -ivh http://download.tomahawk-player.org/packman/mingw:32/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-uac-0-3.1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
6. Follow the `generic build instructions`_
|
|
|
|
.. note:: When building for Windows platforms, you must specify a special
|
|
toolchain file that enables cmake to locate the platform-specific tools. To add
|
|
this parameter to the call to cmake, enter
|
|
``-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../mirall/admin/win/Toolchain-mingw32-openSUSE.cmake``.
|
|
|
|
7. Build by running ``make``.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Using ``make package`` produces an NSIS-based installer, provided
|
|
the NSIS mingw32 packages are installed.

Generic Build Instructions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Compared to previous versions, building Mirall has become easier. Unlike
|
|
earlier versions, CSync, which is the sync engine library of Mirall, is now
|
|
part of the Mirall source repository and not a separate module.
|
|
|
|
You can download Mirall from the ownCloud `Client Download Page`_.
|
|
|
|
To build the most up to date version of the client:
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the latest versions of Mirall from Git_ as follows:
|
|
|
|
``git clone git://github.com/owncloud/mirall.git``
|
|
|
|
2. Create build directories:
|
|
|
|
``mkdir mirall-build``
|
|
|
|
3. Build mirall:
|
|
|
|
``cd ../mirall-build``
|
|
``cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../mirall``
|
|
|
|
..note:: You must use absolute paths for the ``include`` and ``library``
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
..note:: On Mac OS X, you need to specify ``-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=target``,
|
|
where ``target`` is a private location, i.e. in parallel to your build
|
|
dir by specifying ``../install``.
|
|
|
|
4. Call ``make``.
|
|
|
|
The owncloud binary appear in the ``bin`` directory.
|
|
|
|
The following are known cmake parameters:
|
|
|
|
* ``QTKEYCHAIN_LIBRARY=/path/to/qtkeychain.dylib -DQTKEYCHAIN_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/qtkeychain/``:
|
|
Used for stored credentials. When compiling with Qt5, the library is called ``qt5keychain.dylib.``
|
|
You need to compile QtKeychain with the same Qt version.
|
|
* ``WITH_DOC=TRUE``: Creates doc and manpages through running ``make``; also adds install statements,
|
|
providing the ability to install using ``make install``.
|
|
* ``CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/yourarch/lib/cmake/``: Builds using Qt5.
|
|
* ``BUILD_WITH_QT4=ON``: Builds using Qt4 (even if Qt5 is found).
|
|
* ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path``: Set an install prefix. This is mandatory on Mac OS
