2. General Build Notes
======================
Since version 0.8.1 QGIS no longer uses the autotools for building. QGIS, like a
number of major projects (eg. KDE 4.0), now uses CMake (http://www.cmake.org)
for building from source. The configure script in this directory simply checks
for the existence of cmake and provides some clues to build QGIS.
2.1. An overview of the dependencies required for building
==========================================================
'''Required build deps:'''
* CMake >= 2.6.0
* Flex, Bison
'''Required runtime deps:'''
* Qt >= 4.4.0
* Proj >= 4.4.x
* GEOS >= 3.0
* Sqlite3 >= 3.0.0
* GDAL/OGR >= 1.4.x
'''Optional dependencies:'''
* for GRASS plugin - GRASS >= 6.0.0 (libraries compiled with exceptions support)
* for georeferencer - GSL >= 1.8
* for postgis support and SPIT plugin - PostgreSQL >= 8.0.x
* for gps plugin - expat >= 1.95
* for mapserver export and PyQGIS - Python >= 2.3 (2.5+ preferred)
* for PyQGIS - SIP >= 4.8, PyQt >= must match Qt version
* for GPS tracking - Qwt >= 5.0
'''Recommended runtime deps:'''
* for gps plugin - gpsbabel
3. Building under windows using msys
====================================
Note: For a detailed account of building all the dependencies yourself you
can visit Marco Pasetti's website here:
http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/qgis+grass/BuildFromSource.html
Read on to use the simplified approach with pre-built libraries...
3.1. MSYS:
==========
MSYS provides a unix style build environment under windows. We have created a
zip archive that contains just about all dependencies.
Get this:
http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/msys.zip
and unpack to c:\msys
If you wish to prepare your msys environment yourself rather than using
our pre-made one, detailed instructions are provided elsewhere in this
document.
3.2. Qt4.3
==========
Download qt4.3 opensource precompiled edition exe and install (including the
download and install of mingw) from here:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
When the installer will ask for MinGW, you don't need to download and install
it, just point the installer to c:\msys\mingw
When Qt installation is complete:
Edit C:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\qtvars.bat and add the following lines:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\msys\local\bin;c:\msys\local\lib
set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin"
I suggest you also add C:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\ to your Environment Variables Path in
the windows system preferences.
If you plan to do some debugging, you'll need to compile debug version of Qt:
C:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\qtvars.bat compile_debug
Note: there is a problem when compiling debug version of Qt 4.3, the script ends with
this message "mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `debug'. Stop.". To
compile the debug version you have to go out of src directory and execute the
following command:
c:\Qt\4.3.0 make
3.3. Flex and Bison
===================
*** Note I think this section can be removed as it should be installed int the
msys image already. TS
Get Flex
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16424
(the zip bin) and extract it into c:\msys\mingw\bin
3.4. Python stuff: (optional)
=============================
Follow this section in case you would like to use Python bindings for QGIS. To
be able to compile bindings, you need to compile SIP and PyQt4 from sources as
their installer doesn't include some development files which are necessary.
3.4.1. Download and install Python - use Windows installer
==========================================================
(It doesn't matter to what folder you'll install it)
http://python.org/download/
3.4.2. Download SIP and PyQt4 sources
=====================================
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download
Extract each of the above zip files in a temporary directory. Make sure
to get versions that match your current Qt installed version.
3.4.3. Compile SIP
==================
c:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\qtvars.bat
python configure.py -p win32-g++
make
make install
3.4.4. Compile PyQt
===================
c:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\qtvars.bat
python configure.py
make
make install
3.4.5. Final python notes
=========================
/!\ You can delete the directories with unpacked SIP and PyQt4 sources after a
successfull install, they're not needed anymore.
3.5. Subversion:
================
In order to check out QGIS sources from the repository, you need Subversion
client. This installer should work fine:
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/36797/svn-1.4.3-setup.exe
3.6. CMake:
===========
CMake is build system used by Quantum GIS. Download it from here:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.6-win32-x86.exe
3.7. QGIS:
==========
Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) Create development
directory and move into it
md c:\dev\cpp
cd c:\dev\cpp
Check out sources from SVN For svn head:
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis
For svn 0.8 branch
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/branches/Release-0_8_0 qgis0.8
3.8. Compiling:
===============
As a background read the generic building with CMake notes at the end of
this document.
Start a cmd.exe window ( Start -> Run -> cmd.exe ) if you don't have one
already. Add paths to compiler and our MSYS environment:
c:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\qtvars.bat
For ease of use add c:\Qt\4.3.0\bin\ to your system path in system
properties so you can just type qtvars.bat when you open the cmd console.
Create build directory and set it as current directory:
cd c:\dev\cpp\qgis
md build
cd build
3.9. Configuration
==================
cmakesetup ..
/!\ NOTE: You must include the '..' above.
Click 'Configure' button. When asked, you should choose 'MinGW Makefiles'
as generator.
There's a problem with MinGW Makefiles on Win2K. If you're compiling on this
platform, use 'MSYS Makefiles' generator instead.
All dependencies should be picked up automatically, if you have set up the
Paths correctly. The only thing you need to change is the installation
destination (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX) and/or set 'Debug'.
For compatibility with NSIS packaging cripts I recommend to leave the
install prefix to its default c:\program files\
When configuration is done, click 'OK' to exit the setup utility.
3.10. Compilation and installation
==================================
make make install
3.11. Run qgis.exe from the directory where it's installed (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX)
=================================================================================
Make sure to copy all .dll:s needed to the same directory as the qgis.exe
binary is installed to, if not already done so, otherwise QGIS will complain
about missing libraries when started.
The best way to do this is to download both the QGIS current release installer
package from http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/ and install it. Now copy
the installation dir from C:\Program Files\Quantum GIS into c:\Program
Files\qgis-0.8.1 (or whatever the current version is. The name should strictly
match the version no.) After making this copy you can uninstall the release
version of QGIS from your c:\Program Files directory using the provided
uninstaller. Double check that the Quantum GIS dir is completely gone under
program files afterwards.
Another possibility is to run qgis.exe when your path contains
c:\msys\local\bin and c:\msys\local\lib directories, so the DLLs will be
used from that place.
3.12. Create the installation package: (optional)
=================================================
Downlad and install NSIS from (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page)
Now using windows explorer, enter the win_build directory in your QGIS source
tree. Read the READMEfile there and follow the instructions. Next right click
on qgis.nsi and choose the option 'Compile NSIS Script'.
4. Building on Mac OSX using frameworks and cmake or Xcode
==========================================================
In this approach I will try to avoid as much as possible building dependencies
from source and rather use frameworks wherever possible.
The base system here is Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and below. Included are a few notes
for building on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Snow Leopard note: A cmake/qt/sip bug currently exists where a 32-bit
cmake build fails to provide python bindings. This means that python plugin support
is currently lacking for 32-bit builds using cmake in Snow Leopard. See the Xcode
build method to if you require python support.
4.1. Install Xcode
==================
I recommend to get the latest Xcode dmg from the Apple XDC Web site
(http:/developer.apple.com). The Mac system install disks come with a copy of
Xcode, but it's likely out of date.
Install Xcode after the ~1gb download is complete.
/!\ Note: It may be that you need to create some symlinks after installing
Xcode (in particular if you are using Xcode 2.5 on Tiger):
cd /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/
sudo mv local/ local_
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ local
4.2. Install Qt4 from .dmg
==========================
You need a minimum of Qt-4.3.0. I suggest getting the latest.
Snow Leopard note: If you are building on Snow Leopard, you will need to
decide between 32-bit support in the older, Qt Carbon branch, or 64-bit
support in the Qt Cocoa branch. Appropriate installers are available for both
as of Qt-4.5.2. Qt 4.6+ is recommended for Cocoa.
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
If you want debug frameworks, Qt also provides a dmg with these. These are in
addition to the non-debug frameworks.
Once downloaded open the dmg and run the installer. Note you need admin
privileges to install.
Qt 4.4+ note: Starting in Qt 4.4 (?) libQtCLucene was added, and in 4.5
libQtUiTools was added, both in /usr/lib. When using a system SDK (which will
happen in the Xcode build), these libraries will not be found. To fix this problem,
add symlinks to /usr/local:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libQtUiTools.a /usr/local/lib/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libQtCLucene.dylib /usr/local/lib/
These should then be found automatically on Leopard and above. Earlier systems
may need some help by adding '-L/usr/local/lib' to CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS,
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS and CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS in the cmake build.
4.3. Install development frameworks for QGIS dependencies
=========================================================
Download William Kyngesburye's excellent GDAL Complete package that includes
PROJ, GEOS, GDAL, SQLite3, and image libraries, as frameworks. There is also
a GSL framework.
http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:frameworks
Once downloaded, open and install the frameworks.
William provides an additional installer package for Postgresql (for PostGIS support).
Qgis just needs the libpq client library, so unless you want to setup the full
Postgres + PostGIS server, all you need is the client-only package.
It's available here:
http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:postgres
Also available is a GRASS application:
http://www.kyngchaos.com/wiki/software:grass
4.3.1. Additional Dependencies : General compatibility note
===========================================================
There are some additional dependencies that, at the time of writing, are not
provided as frameworks or installers so we will need to build these from source.
If you are wanting to build Qgis as a 64-bit application, you will need to
provide the appropriate build commands to produce 64-bit support in dependencies.
Likewise, for 32-bit support on Snow Leopard, you will need to override the
default system architecture, which is 64-bit, according to instructions for
individual dependency packages.
4.3.2. Additional Dependencies : Expat
======================================
Snow Leopard note: Snow Leopard includes a usable expat, so this step is
not necessary on Snow Leopard.
Get the expat sources:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10127
Double-click the source tarball to unpack, then, in Terminal.app, cd to the source folder and:
./configure
make
sudo make install
Leopard note: To compile for 64bit, substitute the standard configure line with:
./configure CFLAGS="-Os -arch x86_64"
4.3.3. Additional Dependencies : Python
=======================================
Leopard and Snow Leopard note: Leopard and Snow Leopard include a usable
Python 2.5 and 2.6, respectively. So there is no need to install Python on
Leopard and Snow Leopard. You can still install Python from python.org if preferred.
Make sure you install at least the latest Python 2.5 from
http://www.python.org/download/
Python 3 is a major change, and may have compatibility issues, so try it at your own risk.
4.3.4. Additional Dependencies : SIP
====================================
Retrieve the python bindings toolkit SIP from
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download
Double-click the source tarball to unpack it, then, in Terminal.app, cd to the source folder
and (this installs by default into the Python framework, and is appropriate only for python.org Python installs):
python configure.py
make
sudo make install
Leopard notes
If building on Leopard, using Leopard's bundled Python, SIP wants to install in the
system path -- this is not a good idea. Use this configure command instead of the
basic configure above:
python configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin \
-e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip
Snow Leopard notes
Similar to Leopard, you should install outside the system Python path.
Also, you need to specify the architecture you want (requires at least SIP 4.9),
and make sure to run the versioned python binary (this one responds to the
'arch' command, 'python' does not). If you are using 32-bit Qt (Qt Carbon):
python2.6 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin \
-e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip --arch=i386
For 64-bit Qt (Qt Cocoa), use this configure line:
python2.6 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin \
-e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip --arch=x86_64
4.3.5. Additional Dependencies : PyQt
=====================================
Retrieve the python bindings toolkit for Qt from
http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download
Double-click the source tarball to unpack it, then, in Terminal.app, cd to the source folder
and (this installs by default into the Python framework, and is appropriate only for python.org Python installs):
export QTDIR=/Developer/Applications/Qt
python configure.py
yes
There is a problem with the configuration that needs to be fixed now (it affect PyQwt compilation later). Edit pyqtconfig.py and change the qt_dir line to:
'qt_dir': '/usr',
Then continue with compilation and installation:
make
sudo make install
Leopard notes
If building on Leopard, using Leopard's bundled Python, PyQt wants to install
in the system path -- this is not a good idea. Use this configure command
instead of the basic configure above:
python configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin
If there is a problem with undefined symbols in QtOpenGL on Leopard, edit
QtOpenGL/makefile and add -undefined dynamic_lookup to LFLAGS.
Then make again.
Snow Leopard notes
Similar to Leopard, you should install outside the system Python path.
Also, you need to specify the architecture you want (requires at least PyQt 4.6),
and make sure to run the versioned python binary (this one responds to the
'arch' command, which is important for pyuic4, 'python' does not).
If you are using 32-bit Qt (Qt Carbon):
python2.6 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin --use-arch i386
For 64-bit Qt (Qt Cocoa), use this configure line:
python2.6 configure.py -d /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages -b /usr/local/bin --use-arch x86_64
4.3.6. Additional Dependencies : Qwt/PyQwt
==========================================
The GPS tracking feature uses Qwt. Some popular 3rd-party plugins use PyQwt.
You can take care of both with the PyQwt source from:
http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/
Double-click the tarball to unpack it.
Now, first edit qwtconfig.pri in the qwt-5.2 subdir and change some settings so
you don't get a bloated debug static library (too bad they are configurable from
qmake). Scroll down to the 'release/debug mode' block. Edit the last 'CONFIG +='
line, within an 'else' block, and change 'debug' to 'release'. Also uncomment
(remove # prefix) the line 'CONFIG += QwtDll'.
Save and close.
Now, cd into the qwt-5.2 subdir in a Terminal. Type these commands to build and install:
qmake -spec macx-g++
make
sudo make install
The Qwt shared library is now installed in /usr/local/qwt-5.x.x[-svn] (x.x is the
minor.point version, and it may be an SVN version). Remember this for QGIS and PyQwt configuration.
Now for PyQwt. Still in the Terminal:
cd ../configure
python configure.py --extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/include \
--extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/lib --extra-libs=qwt
make
sudo make install
Make sure to use the qwt install path from the Qwt build above.
Snow Leopard note
If using Qt Carbon, you need to specify which architectures to build, otherwise
it will default to a combination that does not work (ie x86_64 for a Carbon Qt).
This is not needed for Qt Cocoa. Configure as follows:
python configure.py --extra-cflags="-arch i386" --extra-cxxflags="-arch i386" \
--extra-lflags="-arch i386" --extra-include-dirs=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/include \
--extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/qwt-5.2.1-svn/lib --extra-libs=qwt
4.3.7. Additional Dependencies : Bison
======================================
Leopard and Snow Leopard note: Leopard and Snow Leopard include Bison 2.3, so this step can be skipped on Leopard and Snow Leopard.
The version of bison available by default on Mac OS X 10.4 and older is too old so you need to
get a more recent one on your system. Download at least version 2.3 from:
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/
Now build and install it to a prefix of /usr/local.Ê Double-click the source
tarball to unpack it, then cd to the source folder and:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
4.4. Install CMake for OSX
==========================
Get the latest source release from here:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
Binary installers are available for OS X, but they are not recommended
(2.4 versions install in /usr instead of /usr/local, and 2.6 versions are a
strange application). Instead, download the source, double-click the source tarball,
then cd to the source folder and:
./bootstrap --docdir=/share/doc/CMake --mandir=/share/man
make
sudo make install
4.5. Install subversion for OSX
===============================
Leopard and Snow Leopard note: Leopard and Snow Leopard (Xcode 3+)
include SVN, so this step can be skipped on Leopard and Snow Leopard.
The [http://sourceforge.net/projects/macsvn/MacSVN] project has a downloadable
build of svn. If you are a GUI inclined person you may want to grab their gui
client too. Get the command line client here:
curl -O http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/macsvn/Subversion_1.4.2.zip
Once downloaded open the zip file and run the installer.
You also need to install BerkleyDB available from the same
http://sourceforge.net/projects/macsvn/ (website). At the time of writing the
file was here:
curl -O http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/macsvn/Berkeley_DB_4.5.20.zip
Once again unzip this and run the installer therein.
Lastly we need to ensure that the svn commandline executeable is in the path.
Add the following line to the end of /etc/bashrc using sudo:
sudo vim /etc/bashrc
And add this line to the bottom before saving and quiting:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin
/usr/local/bin needs to be first in the path so that the newer bison (that will
be built from source further down) is found before the bison (which is very
old) that is installed by MacOSX
Now close and reopen your shell to get the updated vars.
4.6. Check out QGIS from SVN
============================
Now we are going to check out the sources for QGIS. First we will create a
directory for working in (or some folder of your choice):
mkdir -p ~/dev/cpp cd ~/dev/cpp
Now we check out the sources:
Trunk:
svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/qgis/trunk/qgis qgis
For a release branch version x.y.z:
svn co https://svn.qgis.org/qgis/branches/Release-x_y_z qgis-x.y.z
The first time you check out QGIS sources you will probably get a message like
this:
Error validating server certificate for 'https://svn.qgis.org:443':
- The certificate is not issued by a trusted authority. Use the fingerprint to
validate the certificate manually! Certificate information:
- Hostname: svn.qgis.org
- Valid: from Apr 1 00:30:47 2006 GMT until Mar 21 00:30:47 2008 GMT
- Issuer: Developer Team, Quantum GIS, Anchorage, Alaska, US
- Fingerprint: 2f:cd:f1:5a:c7:64:da:2b:d1:34:a5:20:c6:15:67:28:33:ea:7a:9b
(R)eject, accept (t)emporarily or accept (p)ermanently?
I suggest you press 'p' to accept the key permanently.
4.7. Configure the build
========================
There are 2 different methods to build QGIS: the traditional CMake method,
and the new Xcode project (starting with QGIS 1.1). The Xcode project has
additional bundling steps, though some optional QGIS features must be explicitly
stated in a user configuration file. The CMake build handles optional features,
and some bundling steps are available with scripts in the mac directory.
4.7.1. Configure the CMake build
================================
CMake supports out of source build so we will create a 'build' dir for the
build process. OS X uses ${HOME}/Applications as a standard user app folder (it gives it the system app folder icon).
If you have the correct permissions you may want to build
straight into your /Applications folder. The instructions below assume you are
building into a pre-existing ${HOME}/Applications directory ...
cd qgis
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
To use the application build of GRASS on OSX, you can optionally use the
following cmake invocation (minimum GRASS 6.3 required, substitute the GRASS
version as required):
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/include \
-D GRASS_PREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS \
..
Or, to use a Unix-style build of GRASS, use the following cmake invocation
(minimum GRASS version as stated in the Qgis requirements, substitute the GRASS
path and version as required):
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/user/local/grass-6.4.0/include \
-D GRASS_PREFIX=/user/local/grass-6.4.0 \
..
Leopard note: To find the custom install of SIP on Leopard, add
'-D SIP_BINARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/sip' to the cmake commands above,
before the '..' at the end, ie:
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D SIP_BINARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/sip \
..
Snow Leopard note: To handle the appropriate version of Qt (32-bit or 64-bit), you will need to invoke cmake based on which version of Qt you installed. Also, SIP/PyQt detection will fail for 32bit because Python runs 64bit.
For 32-bit Qt (Carbon) with GRASS-6.4, create a 32bit python script and add arch flags to the configuration:
sudo cat >/usr/local/bin/python32 <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
exec arch -i386 /usr/bin/python2.6 \${1+"\$@"}
EOF
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/python32
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D SIP_BINARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/sip \
-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-arch i386" -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=i386 \
-D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/include \
-D GRASS_PREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS \
-D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/local/bin/python32 \
..
For 64-bit Qt (Cocoa) with GRASS-6.4:
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/Applications -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D SIP_BINARY_PATH=/usr/local/bin/sip \
-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-arch x86_64" -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 \
-D GRASS_INCLUDE_DIR=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS/include \
-D GRASS_PREFIX=/Applications/GRASS-6.4.app/Contents/MacOS \
..
