##Build instructions for Qt Creator 3.1.2 under Ubuntu 14.04

###Prepare

  • Install git by command sudo apt-get install git in Terminal
  • Install g++ by command sudo apt-get install g++ in Terminal
  • Install Qt Creator from Downloads page

For 32 bit Ubuntu you need to install g++ version 4.8 manually by such commands

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8
  • sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 20
  • sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 20

###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

or download in ZIP and extract to /home/user/TBuild rename tdesktop-master to tdesktop to have /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/Telegram.pro project

###Prepare libraries

Install dev libraries

sudo apt-get install libexif-dev liblzma-dev libz-dev libssl-dev libappindicator-dev libunity-dev

Install audio libraries

####Opus codec 1.1

Download opus-1.1 sources from http://www.opus-codec.org/downloads, extract to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries, go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/opus-1.1 and run

./configure
make
sudo make install

####FFmpeg

Download sources ffmpeg-2.6.3.tar.bz2 from https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html, extract to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries to have /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/ffmpeg-2.6.3, go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/ffmpeg-2.6.3 and run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes install autoconf automake build-essential libass-dev libfreetype6-dev libgpac-dev libsdl1.2-dev libtheora-dev libtool libva-dev libvdpau-dev libvorbis-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev pkg-config texi2html zlib1g-dev
sudo apt-get install yasm

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-programs --disable-everything --enable-libopus --enable-decoder=aac --enable-decoder=aac_latm --enable-decoder=aasc --enable-decoder=mp1 --enable-decoder=mp1float --enable-decoder=mp2 --enable-decoder=mp2float --enable-decoder=mp3 --enable-decoder=mp3adu --enable-decoder=mp3adufloat --enable-decoder=mp3float --enable-decoder=mp3on4 --enable-decoder=mp3on4float --enable-decoder=wavpack --enable-decoder=opus --enable-decoder=vorbis --enable-decoder=wmalossless --enable-decoder=wmapro --enable-decoder=wmav1 --enable-decoder=wmav2 --enable-decoder=wmavoice --enable-decoder=flac --enable-encoder=libopus --enable-parser=aac --enable-parser=aac_latm --enable-parser=mpegaudio --enable-parser=opus --enable-parser=vorbis --enable-parser=flac --enable-demuxer=aac --enable-demuxer=wav --enable-demuxer=mp3 --enable-demuxer=ogg --enable-demuxer=mov --enable-demuxer=flac --enable-muxer=ogg --enable-muxer=opus

make
sudo make install

####PortAudio 19

Download portaudio sources from http://www.portaudio.com/download.html, extract to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries, go to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/portaudio and run

./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

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

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

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 5.5.0, slightly patched

http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.5/5.5.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0.tar.gz

Extract to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries, rename qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.5.0 to QtStatic to have /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/qtbase folder

Apply patch:

  • OR copy (with overwrite!) everything from /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/_qt_5_5_0_patch/ to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/

  • OR copy /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/_qt_5_5_0_patch.diff to /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/, go there in Terminal and run

    git apply _qt_5_5_0_patch.diff

#####Building library

Install some packages for Qt (see /home/user/TBuild/Libraries/QtStatic/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/QtStatic and there run

./configure -release -opensource -confirm-license -qt-xcb -no-opengl -static -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtquick1 -skip qtdeclarative
make module-qtbase module-qtimageformats
sudo make module-qtbase-install_subtargets module-qtimageformats-install_subtargets

building (make command) will take really long time.

###Building Telegram Desktop

  • Launch Qt Creator, all projects will be taken from /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram
  • Tools > Options > Build & Run > Qt Versions tab > Add > File System /usr/local/Qt-5.5.0/bin/qmake > Qt 5.5.0 (Qt-5.5.0) > Apply
  • Tools > Options > Build & Run > Kits tab > Desktop (default) > change Qt version to Qt 5.5.0 (Qt-5.5.0) > Apply
  • Open MetaStyle.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateStyle and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediateStyle and build for Debug
  • Open MetaLang.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateLang and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediateLang and build for Debug
  • Open Telegram.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediate and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediate and build for Debug, if GeneratedFiles are not found click Run qmake from Build menu and try again
  • Open Updater.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateUpdater and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediateUpdater and build for Debug
  • Release Telegram build will require removing CUSTOM_API_ID definition in Telegram.pro project and may require changing paths in /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/FixMake.sh or /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/FixMake32.sh for static library linking fix, static linking applies only on second Release build (first uses old Makefile)
