Building via qmake
==================

**NB** These are outdated, please refer to [Building using GYP/CMake][cmake] instructions.

The following commands assume the following environment variables are set:

 * `$srcdir`: The directory into which the source has been downloaded and
   unpacked.
 * `_qtver`: The Qt version being used (eg: `5.6.2`).
 * `$pkgdir`: The directory into which installable files are places. This is
   `/` for local installations, or can be different directory when preparing a
   redistributable package.

Either set them accordingly, or replace them in the below commands as desired.

The following sources should be downloaded and unpacked into `$srcdir`:

  * This repository (either `master` or a specific tag).
  * `git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git`
  * `git clone git+https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad breakpad`
  * `git clone git+https://chromium.googlesource.com/linux-syscall-support breakpad-lss`
  * telegramdesktop.desktop (The intention is to include this file inside the
    source package at some point):
    `https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/telegramdesktop.desktop?h=telegram-desktop`
  * tg.protocol: `https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/tg.protocol?h=telegram-desktop`

Preparation
-----------

    cd "$srcdir/tdesktop"

    mkdir -p "$srcdir/Libraries"

    local qt_patch_file="$srcdir/tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/qtbase_${_qtver//./_}.diff"
    local qt_dir="$srcdir/Libraries/qt${_qtver//./_}"
    if [ "$qt_patch_file" -nt "$qt_dir" ]; then
      rm -rf "$qt_dir"
      git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git
      cd "$qt_dir"
      perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
      git checkout v$_qtver
      cd qtimageformats
      git checkout v$_qtver
      cd ../qtbase
      git checkout v$_qtver
      git apply "$qt_patch_file"
    fi

    if [ ! -h "$srcdir/Libraries/breakpad" ]; then
      ln -s "$srcdir/breakpad" "$srcdir/Libraries/breakpad"
      ln -s "$srcdir/breakpad-lss" "$srcdir/Libraries/breakpad/src/third_party/lss"
    fi

    sed -i 's/CUSTOM_API_ID//g' "$srcdir/tdesktop/Telegram/Telegram.pro"

    (
      echo "DEFINES += TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE"
