Get master (unstable) version
We automatically publish the latest master build to a dedicated channel on the playstore at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.opengis.qfield_dev. You'll need to join the beta program (https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ch.opengis.qfield_dev) to start getting the latest version.
Please remember that this is the latest development build and is not tested much.
Build
For Android
Quick and dirty
Use the dockerized QField SDK.
# get the latest tag from https://hub.docker.com/r/opengisch/qfield-sdk/tags/
TAG=20191001
cd QField
git submodule init
git submodule update
docker run -v $(pwd):/usr/src/qfield docker.io/opengisch/qfield-sdk:$TAG /usr/src/qfield/scripts/docker-build.sh --rm
This will put the apk into a subfolder build-docker/out/build/outputs/apk
Go the hard way
Build OSGeo4A
cd QField
git submodule init
git submodule update
cp config.pri.default config.pri
# Edit config.pri
The advantage of this is, you will be able to build and deploy directly from QtCreator.
For Desktop
- Get QGIS 2.99 (3.0) development libraries.
cd QField
git submodule init
git submodule update
cp config.pri.default config.pri
# Edit config.pri
- open QField.pro with QtCreator (installed during OSGeo4A installation)
- hit build
On Mac
In Qt Creator > Projects > Build > In Build Environment
add the following variables:
QGIS_INSTALL_PATH: the same value than in the config.pri (could be /usr/local/opt/qgis3/ or the installation folder of a local build)DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATHadd_QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_/QGIS.app/Contents/Frameworks(replace_QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_)DYLD_LIBRARY_PATHadd:_QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_/QGIS.app/Contents/Frameworks/qgis_core.framework/Versions/Current(replace_QGIS_INSTALL_PATH_)
Invalid version number issue
If you get the error invalid version number in '-mmacosx-version-min=', you need to hardcode the minimum deployment target by setting version_min_flag = -m$${version_identifier}-version-min=10.10 in /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf.
One line command:
gsed -i "s/version_min_flag = -m\$\${version_identifier}-version-min=\$\$deployment_target/version_min_flag = -m\$\${version_identifier}-version-min=10\.10/" /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf
In Qt Creator > Projects > Run >
- Check
Use debug version of frameworks - Add a custom deployment step:
_QField_SOURCE_DIR_/scripts/mac_deploy.shwith${QGIS_INSTALL_PATH}as argument. - In Debugger settings, check
Enable QML
Other issues
If you have any issue with qmake not finding the proper SDK, in /usr/local/opt/qt/mkspecs/features/mac/default_post.prf, replace $$QMAKE_MAC_SDK_PATH (3 occurences) by /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
