Building via qmake ================== **NB** These are outdated, please refer to [Building using GYP/CMake][cmake] instructions.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' "$srcdir/tdesktop/Telegram/Telegram.pro" ( echo "DEFINES += TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE" echo "DEFINES += TDESKTOP_DISABLE_REGISTER_CUSTOM_SCHEME" ) >> "$srcdir/tdesktop/Telegram/Telegram.pro" Building -------- # Build patched Qt cd "$qtdir" ./configure -prefix "$srcdir/qt" -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib \ -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-harfbuzz -qt-pcre -qt-xcb \ -qt-xkbcommon-x11 -no-opengl -no-gtkstyle -static -nomake examples -nomake tests make module-qtbase module-qtimageformats make module-qtbase-install_subtargets module-qtimageformats-install_subtargets export PATH="$srcdir/qt/bin:$PATH" # Build breakpad cd "$srcdir/Libraries/breakpad" ./configure make # Build codegen_style mkdir -p "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/obj/codegen_style/Debug" cd "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/obj/codegen_style/Debug" qmake CONFIG+=debug ../../../../Telegram/build/qmake/codegen_style/codegen_style.pro make # Build codegen_numbers mkdir -p "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/obj/codegen_numbers/Debug" cd "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/obj/codegen_numbers/Debug" qmake CONFIG+=debug ../../../../Telegram/build/qmake/codegen_numbers/codegen_numbers.pro make # Build MetaLang mkdir -p "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateLang" cd "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateLang" qmake CONFIG+=debug "../../Telegram/MetaLang.pro" make # Build Telegram Desktop mkdir -p "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediate" cd "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediate" qmake CONFIG+=release "../../Telegram/Telegram.pro" make Installation ------------ install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/bin" install -m755 "$srcdir/tdesktop/Linux/Release/Telegram" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/telegram-desktop" install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications" install -m644 "$srcdir/telegramdesktop.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/telegramdesktop.desktop" install -d "$pkgdir/usr/share/kde4/services" install -m644 "$srcdir/tg.protocol" "$pkgdir/usr/share/kde4/services/tg.protocol" local icon_size icon_dir for icon_size in 16 32 48 64 128 256 512; do icon_dir="$pkgdir/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${icon_size}x${icon_size}/apps" install -d "$icon_dir" install -m644 "$srcdir/tdesktop/Telegram/SourceFiles/art/icon${icon_size}.png" "$icon_dir/telegram-desktop.png" done Notes ----- These instructions are based on the [ArchLinux package][arch-package] for telegram-desktop.
