These are some basic instructions on how to build Dianara from source, in case
you don't have precompiled packages available for your operating system.
See https://jancoding.wordpress.com/dianara for info on package availability.



General runtime dependencies (check carefully!)
===============================================================================

 - Qt 5.6 or later
 - QOAuth 2.x, built with Qt 5
 - OpenSSL plugin for QCA (qca2-plugin-openssl, libqca2-plugin-ossl, or similar)
   In some cases, the QCA package includes the plugins directly.
    *** Dianara will _crash_ if you don't have this!



Dependencies for building
===============================================================================

You'll need qmake and the qt-devel (>= 5.6, including QtNetwork and QtDBUS
modules, if they are separate), and qoauth-devel packages.
Qmake might be included in the Qt development packages, or it might be a
separate package.


These are the names of the packages for the build dependencies
in some GNU/Linux distributions:

  - Mageia (probably in Mandriva and ROSA, too):
      libqt5base5-devel and libqoauth-qt5-devel.

      ** Note: In x86_64 arch, "lib" packages start with "lib64", such as
               lib64qt5base5-devel.

    > Build tools: gcc-c++, make


  - Debian (probably in any of its derivatives, too):
      qt5-default and libqoauth-dev (>=2.0.0, or libqoauth-qt5-dev).

    > Build tools: build-essential, g++


  - Fedora:
      qt5-qtbase-devel, qoauth-qt5-devel.

    > Build tools: gcc-c++


  - openSUSE:
      libqt5-qtbase-devel and qoauth-qt5-devel.


  - Archlinux and Parabola (runtime deps include build-time deps):
      qt5-base and qoauth.

    > Build tools: gcc, make


  - FreeBSD (runtime deps include build-time deps):
      qt5-widgets and qoauth-qt5.

    > Build tools: qmake-qt5, qt5-buildtools


You might also need to install qt5-qmake, if your distribution does not include
it with the Qt development package.



Build process
===============================================================================

From Dianara's main directory, where Dianara.pro is located, execute:

        mkdir build               # Create a clean directory for the build
        cd build                  # Go into it
        qmake ..                  # Ask Qmake to generate a Makefile[*]
        make                      # Run Make to compile the project

[*]you might need to use the command 'qmake-qt5' instead

That should do it!


There is an installation target if you wish to use 'make install', but you can
just run the resulting "dianara" binary without installation.
The language files will be embedded into the binary upon compilation,
so there's no need to keep them afterwards.



Dianara is built on and for GNU/linux, but it will probably work under other
systems, as long as they are supported by Qt, and have ports of the necessary
dependencies.
