##Build instructions for GYP/CMake under Ubuntu 12.04

###Prepare

• Install git by command sudo apt-get install git in Terminal
• Install g++ by command sudo apt-get install g++ in Terminal

You need to install g++ version 4.9 manually by such commands

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
• sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 21
• sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9 21

###Prepare folder

Choose a folder for the future build, for example /home/user/TBuild There you will have two folders, Libraries for third-party libs and tdesktop (or tdesktop-master) for the app.

###Clone source code

By git – in Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild and run

git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git

###Prepare libraries

./configure
make
sudo make install

####OpenAL Soft

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries and run

git clone git://repo.or.cz/openal-soft.git

then go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/openal-soft/build and run

sudo apt-get install cmake
cmake -D LIBTYPE:STRING=STATIC ..
make
sudo make install

####OpenSSL

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries and run

git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl
cd openssl
git checkout OpenSSL_1_0_1-stable
./config
make
sudo make install

####libxkbcommon (required for Fcitx Qt plugin)

sudo apt-get install xutils-dev bison python-xcbgen
git clone https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon.git
cd libxkbcommon
./autogen.sh --disable-x11
make
sudo make install

####Qt 5.6.2, slightly patched

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries and run

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt5_6_2
cd qt5_6_2
git checkout 5.6
perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
git checkout v5.6.2
cd qtimageformats && git checkout v5.6.2 && cd ..
cd qtbase && git checkout v5.6.2 && cd ..

#####Apply the patch

cd qtbase && git apply ../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/qtbase_5_6_2.diff && cd ..

#####Building library

Install some packages for Qt (see /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/qt5_6_2/qtbase/src/plugins/platforms/xcb/README)

sudo apt-get install libxcb1-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-util0-dev libxrender-dev libasound-dev libpulse-dev libxcb-sync0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libffi-dev

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/qt5_6_2 and there run

./configure -prefix "/usr/local/tdesktop/Qt-5.6.2" -release -force-debug-info -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 -openssl-linked -nomake examples -nomake tests
make -j4
sudo make install

building (make command) will take really long time.

####Google Breakpad

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries and run

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/linux-syscall-support breakpad/src/third_party/lss
cd breakpad
./configure --prefix=$PWD
make
make install

####GYP and CMake

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries and run

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp
wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.6/cmake-3.6.2.tar.gz
tar -xf cmake-3.6.2.tar.gz
cd gyp
git apply ../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/gyp.diff
cd ../cmake-3.6.2
./configure
make

###Building Telegram Desktop

In Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram and run

gyp/refresh.sh

To make Debug version go to /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/out/Debug and run

make

To make Release version go to /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/out/Release and run

make

You can debug your builds from Qt Creator, just open CMakeLists.txt from /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/out/Debug and start debug.
