Windows compilation
Requirements:
- Visual Studio 2015
- QT 5.6.3
- Qt Creator
Preparation:
1.- Prepare QTCreator to use the Visual Studio 2015 toolchain and QT 5.6.3 - 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/#!8tZglCTR!cZ_B39i9YxLgt3_8x9LsOpFhFDHuAh4jdz78IuQTQT4
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 8.3
- QT 5.6.3
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/#!T14B0Y4T!EXGg9dRtacgz9_vCUtVq5tj6C3PBpkOHgXG289EBxBM
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 with QT >= 5.6 (e.g: Ubuntu 18.04):
sudo apt-get install libzen-dev libmediainfo-dev debhelper qtbase5-dev qt5-qmake qt4-linguist-tools libqt5dbus5 libqt5svg5-dev libcrypto++-dev libraw-dev libc-ares-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev wget dh-autoreconf cdbs unzip libtool-bin pkg-config qt5-default qttools5-dev-tools libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmediainfo-dev
for older debian/ubuntu based systems (e.g: Ubuntu 16.04):
sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake m4 libtool libtool-bin qt4-qmake make libqt4-dev libcrypto++-dev libsqlite3-dev libc-ares-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libraw-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmediainfo-dev
# Optional, if you wish to build nautilus extension:
sudo apt-get install libnautilus-extension-dev
Addition: for RPM based (e.g: Fedora):
sudo dnf install libtool gcc-c++ c-ares-devel cryptopp-devel openssl-devel qt-devel sqlite-devel zlib-devel LibRaw-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 Solus, 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 https://github.com/c-ares/c-ares/issues/58 and http://ma.tc/ehuboqatec.md.
