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 development on the desktop client.
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
1. Add the `ownCloud repository from OBS`_.
|
|
2. Install the dependencies (as root, or via sudo):
|
|
|
|
* 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`_.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Next to XCode (and the command line tools!), you will need some
|
|
extra dependencies.
|
|
|
|
You can install these dependencies via MacPorts_ or Homebrew_.
|
|
This is only needed on the build machine, since non-standard libs
|
|
will be deployed in the app bundle.
|
|
|
|
The tested and preferred way is to use HomeBrew_. The ownCloud team has
|
|
its own repository which contains non-standard recipes. Add it with::
|
|
|
|
brew tap owncloud/owncloud
|
|
|
|
Next, install the missing dependencies::
|
|
|
|
brew install $(brew deps ocsync)
|
|
brew install $(brew deps mirall)
|
|
|
|
To build mirall and csync, follow the `generic build instructions`_.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
You should not call ``make install`` at any time, since the product of the
|
|
mirall build is an app bundle. Call ``make package`` instead to create an
|
|
install-ready disk image.
|
|
|
|
Windows (cross-compile)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Due to the amount of dependencies that csync entails, building the client
|
|
for Windows is **currently only supported on openSUSE**, by using the MinGW
|
|
cross compiler. You can set up openSUSE 12.1 or 12.2 in a virtual machine
|
|
if you do not have it installed already.
|
|
|
|
In order to cross-compile, the following repositories need to be added
|
|
via YaST or ``zypper ar`` (adjust when using openSUSE 12.2)::
|
|
|
|
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/devel:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_12.1/isv:ownCloud:devel:mingw:win32.repo
|
|
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_12.1/windows:mingw:win32.repo
|
|
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw/openSUSE_12.1/windows:mingw.repo
|
|
|
|
Next, 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-iniparser-devel \
|
|
mingw32-libsqlite-devel mingw32-dlfcn-devel mingw32-libssh2-devel \
|
|
kdewin-png2ico mingw32-libqt4 mingw32-libqt4-devel mingw32-libgcrypt \
|
|
mingw32-libgnutls mingw32-libneon mingw32-libneon-devel mingw32-libbeecrypt \
|
|
mingw32-libopenssl mingw32-openssl mingw32-libpng-devel mingw32-libsqlite \
|
|
mingw32-qtkeychain mingw32-qtkeychain-devel mingw32-iniparser mingw32-dlfcn \
|
|
mingw32-libintl-devel mingw32-libneon-devel mingw32-libopenssl-devel \
|
|
mingw32-libproxy-devel mingw32-libxml2-devel mingw32-zlib-devel
|
|
|
|
For the installer, the NSIS installer package is also required::
|
|
|
|
zypper install mingw32-cross-nsis
|
|
|
|
.. Usually, the following would be needed as well, but due to a bug in mingw, they
|
|
will currently not build properly from source.
|
|
|
|
mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-processes mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-uac
|
|
|
|
You will also need to manually download and install the following files with
|
|
``rpm -ivh <package>`` (They will also work with OpenSUSE 12.2)::
|
|
|
|
rpm -ihv http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/mingw:/32/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-processes-0-1.1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
rpm -ihv http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/mingw:/32/openSUSE_12.1/x86_64/mingw32-cross-nsis-plugin-uac-0-3.1.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
Now, follow the `generic build instructions`_, but pay attention to
|
|
the following differences:
|
|
|
|
1. For building ``libocsync``, you need to use ``mingw32-cmake`` instead
|
|
of cmake.
|
|
2. for building ``mirall``, you need to use ``cmake`` again, but make sure
|
|
to append the following parameter::
|
|
3. Also, you need to specify *absolute pathes* for ``CSYNC_LIBRARY_PATH``
|
|
and ``CSYNC_LIBRARY_PATH`` when running ``cmake`` on mirall.
|
|
|
|
``-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../mirall/admin/win/Toolchain-mingw32-openSUSE.cmake``
|
|
|
|
Finally, just build by running ``make``. ``make package`` will produce
|
|
an NSIS-based installer, provided the NSIS mingw32 packages are installed.
|
|
|
|
Generic Build Instructions
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
.. _`generic build instructions`
|
|
|
|
The ownCloud Client requires Mirall and CSync_. Mirall is the GUI frontend,
|
|
while CSync is responsible for handling the actual synchronization process.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, ownCloud Client requires a forked version of CSync. Both
|
|
CMake and Mirall can be downloaded at ownCloud's `Client Download Page`_.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the leading edge version of the client, you should
|
|
use the latest versions of Mirall and CSync via Git_, like so::
|
|
|
|
git clone git://git.csync.org/users/freitag/csync.git ocsync
|
|
git clone git://github.com/owncloud/mirall.git
|
|
|
|
Next, create build directories::
|
|
|
|
mkdir ocsync-build
|
|
mkdir mirall-build
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes that all directories are residing next to each other.
|
|
Next, make sure to check out the 'dav' branch in the newly checked out
|
|
`ocsync` directory::
|
|
|
|
cd ocsync
|
|
git checkout dav
|
|
|
|
The first package to build is CSync::
|
|
|
|
cd ocsync-build
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../ocsync
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
You probably have to satisfy some dependencies. Make sure to install all the
|
|
needed development packages. You will need ``iniparser``, ``sqlite3`` as well as
|
|
``neon`` for the ownCloud module. Take special care about ``neon``. If that is
|
|
missing, the cmake run will succeed but silently not build the ownCloud module.
|
|
``libssh`` and ``libsmbclient`` are optional and not required for the client
|
|
to work. If you want to install the client, run ``make install`` as a final step.
|
|
|
|
Next, we build mirall::
|
|
|
|
cd ../mirall-build
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" ../mirall \
|
|
-DCSYNC_BUILD_PATH=/path/to/ocsync-build \
|
|
-DCSYNC_INCLUDE_PATH=/path/to/ocsync/src
|
|
|
|
Note that it is important to use absolute pathes for the include- and library
|
|
directories. If this succeeds, call ``make``. The owncloud binary should appear
|
|
in the ``bin`` directory. You can also run ``make install`` to install the client to
|
|
``/usr/local/bin``.
|
|
|
|
To build an installer/app bundle (requires the mingw32-cross-nsis packages on Windows)::
|
|
|
|
make package
|
|
|
|
Known cmake parameters:
|
|
|
|
* WITH_DOC=TRUE: create doc and manpages via running ``make``; also adds install statements to be able to install it via ``make install``.
