The most detailed instructions can be found at this page: http://ribtoks.github.io/xpiks/blog/2014/building-xpiks-alone

This space was intentionally left blank.

Simplified instructions:

Prepare the source tree

  • git clone Xpiks repo
  • git submodule init & git submodule update --recursive
  • rename tinyAES/aes.c to tinyAES/aes.cpp
  • ensure you have git available in your PATH

Mac OS X / Windows : build third-parties

Zlib:

  • [windows] you will also need to download zlib 1.2.11 and extract it in the src/ directory
  • [windows] open project src/zlib-project/zlib.pro in Qt Creator, execute Run qmake, execute Build
  • [windows] copy built library (e.g. z.lib) from the build directory to the src/libs directory

Hunspell:

  • download Hunspell 1.6.0 from http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ and extract it in the src/ directory
  • open project src/hunspell/hunspell.pro in Qt Creator, execute Run qmake, execute Build
  • copy built library (e.g. libhunspell.a) from the build directory to the src/libs directory

cpp-libface:

  • follow instructions in src/cpp-libface/README.md to build libface
  • copy built library to src/libs directory

ssdll:

  • follow instructions in src/ssdll/README.md to build ssdll
  • copy built library to src/libs directory

Quazip:

  • open project src/quazip/quazip/quazip.pro in Qt Creator, execute Run qmake, execute Build
  • copy built library (e.g. quazip.lib and quazip.dll) from the build directory to the src/libs directory

LibCurl:

  • [windows] do git clone https://github.com/blackrosezy/build-libcurl-windows.git and execute build.bat
  • [windows] copy contests of lib/dll-debug-x64 contents to the src/libs/ directory
  • [windows] build exiv2 library (see steps below)

OS X build of exiv2 library

  • open Terminal in the directory of exiv2 sources and do the following
  • mkdir build-Debug && cd build-Debug
  • /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake .. -DEXIV2_ENABLE_SHARED=off -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7 -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=11
  • make

Visual Studio 2015 build of exiv2 library

  • download exiv2 v0.25 library from http://www.exiv2.org/ and extract it somewhere
  • download expat-2.1.1 library from https://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ and extract it on same level as exiv2
  • rename directory expat-2.1.1/ to expat\
  • open msvc2005\exiv2.sln and upgrade all projects
  • from each project remove file localtime.c
  • open file include\exiv2\exv_msvs.h and enable unicode support, disable png, curl and ssh (alternatively, you can overwrite this file with the one in the Xpiks repository via path src/exiv2-0.25/include/exiv2/exv_msvs.h)
  • in Visual Studio select "Build" -> "Batch build" and mark all DebugDLL and ReleaseDLL builds for your platform (x64 or x86)
  • press "Build"
  • copy build artifacts (libexiv2.dll, libexiv2.lib, libexpat.dll, libexpat.lib) to src/libs directory in Xpiks repository

Manual build

  • install Qt 5.6 or later from official website (or from repository in case of Linux)
  • [linux] install development packages for libcurl, hunspell, quazip, zlib, libexiv
  • [linux] install exiftool (this is not necessary since Xpiks 1.3.1) and expat (this is necessary since Xpiks 1.3.1)
  • open main project in Qt Creator, execute Run qmake, execute Build
  • you can open, build and run tests project (src/xpiks-tests/xpiks-tests.pro) additionally

If you want to create Xpiks executable for everyday usage, before each Run qmake step described below, select Release in Qt Creator. Select Debug (the default) in all other cases.

Linux package build

This chapter assumes that you have installed generic development packages for your OS.

Additional requirements

In some cases you neet to install libcurl-devel, hunspell-devel, quazip-devel, libexiv-devel packages (they can have slightly different names in your distribution) if it is not installed as a build requirement.

Debian package build

  • Install build dependecies from repository (QT)
  • cd to xpiks-qt subdirectory
  • debuild -i -us -uc -b

OpenSUSE RPM build

  • Install rpmbuild.
  • mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{RPMS,SRPMS,SPECS,BUILD,BUILDROOT,SOURCES}
  • tar -czf xpiks-qt.tar.gz xpiks-qt/ tiny-aes/ cpp-libface/ libs/ ssdll/
  • Copy this source tarball in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
  • Copy the the spec from xpiks-qt/RPM folder to ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
  • rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/xpiks.spec
  • It will complain about missing dependecies, you have to install them as well

More

Xpiks uses English dictionaries from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/. In Windows they are stored in the dict/ subdirectory, in OS X they are in the Resources/ directory of a bundle.
