Build instructions for Xcode 7.2.1

NB These are outdated, please refer to Building using Xcode instructions.

Prepare folder

Choose a folder for the future build, for example /Users/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 /Users/user/TBuild and run

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

then go to /Users/user/TBuild/tdesktop and run

git checkout dev

Prepare latest cmake

Download the latest sources and unpack to /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold

./bootstrap
make -j4
sudo make install

Prepare libraries

In your build Terminal run

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6

to set minimal supported OS version to 10.6 for future console builds.

Qt 5.3.2, slightly patched

Get the source code

In Terminal go to /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries and run:

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt5_3_2
cd qt5_3_2
perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
git checkout v5.3.2
cd qtimageformats && git checkout v5.3.2 && cd ..
cd qtbase && git checkout v5.3.2 && cd ..

Apply the patch

From /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/qt5_3_2/qtbase, run:

git apply ../../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/macold/qtbase_5_3_2.diff

From /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/qt5_3_2/qtimageformats, run:

git apply ../../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/macold/qtimageformats_5_3_2.diff

Building library

Go to /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/qt5_3_2 and run:

OPENSSL_LIBS="/Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/openssl-1.0.1h/libssl.a /Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/openssl-1.0.1h/libcrypto.a" ./configure -prefix "/usr/local/macold/Qt-5.3.2" -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license -static -opengl desktop -openssl-linked -I "/Users/user/TBuild/Libraries/macold/openssl-1.0.1h/include" -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform macx-g++
make -j4

Building Telegram Desktop

• Launch Xcode, all projects will be taken from /Users/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram
• Open MetaEmoji.xcodeproj and build for Debug (Release optionally)
• Open MetaLang.xcodeproj and build for Debug (Release optionally)
• Open Telegram.xcodeproj and build for Debug
• Build Updater target as well, it is required for Telegram relaunch
• Release Telegram build will require removing CUSTOM_API_ID definition in Telegram target settings (Apple LLVM 6.1 - Custom Compiler Flags > Other C / C++ Flags > Release)
