Build instructions for Visual Studio 2019

Prepare folder

Choose an empty folder for the future build, for example D:\TBuild. It will be named BuildPath in the rest of this document. Create two folders there, BuildPath\ThirdParty and BuildPath\Libraries.

All commands (if not stated otherwise) will be launched from x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat (should be in Start Menu > Visual Studio 2019 menu folder). Pay attention not to use any other Command Prompt.

Obtain your API credentials

You will require api_id and api_hash to access the Telegram API servers. To learn how to obtain them click here.

Install third party software

Open x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat, go to BuildPath and run

cd ThirdParty
git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/gyp.git
cd gyp
git checkout tdesktop
cd ..\..

Add GYP and Ninja to your PATH:

  • Open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings
  • Press Environment Variables...
  • Select Path
  • Press Edit
  • Add BuildPath\ThirdParty\gyp value
  • Add BuildPath\ThirdParty\Ninja value

Clone source code and prepare libraries

Open x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat, go to BuildPath and run

SET PATH=%cd%\ThirdParty\Perl\bin;%cd%\ThirdParty\Python27;%cd%\ThirdParty\NASM;%cd%\ThirdParty\jom;%cd%\ThirdParty\cmake\bin;%cd%\ThirdParty\yasm;%PATH%

Build the project

If you want to pass a build define (like TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE or TDESKTOP_DISABLE_NETWORK_PROXY), call set TDESKTOP_BUILD_DEFINES=TDESKTOP_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE,TDESKTOP_DISABLE_NETWORK_PROXY,... (comma seperated string)

After, call gyp\refresh.bat once again.

  • Open BuildPath\tdesktop\Telegram\Telegram.sln in Visual Studio 2019
  • Select Telegram project and press Build > Build Telegram (Debug and Release configurations)
  • The result Telegram.exe will be located in D:\TBuild\tdesktop\out\Debug (and Release)

Qt Visual Studio Tools

For better debugging you may want to install Qt Visual Studio Tools:

  • Open Tools -> Extensions and Updates...
  • Go to Online tab
  • Search for Qt
  • Install Qt Visual Studio Tools extension
