####################### ## Building QupZilla ## ####################### >> General << >> << If you can, you should use precompiled packages for your distribution. But if you cannot use them, or they are not available, please read this informations before compiling. After your binary is successfuly compiled, you need to copy bin/ folder from git to specific directory by your system you compiled for. If you are unsure where is the right place, you can check it directly from QupZilla by clicking from Help Menu to Informations about program, then in Path section. >> Microsoft Windows << >> << You need Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2010 in order to build QupZilla. It is because QupZilla is using Windows 7 API and therefore corresponding headers are included only on versions 2010 and above. If you don't meet this, please use precompiled versions, which are also in smart windows installer. >> Linux / Unix << >> << There is no extra dependency, you only need Qt tools. >> OS/2 << >> << I cannot provide support for QupZilla on OS/2 as I don't have access to machine with OS/2, but it is possible to get QupZilla working there. There may be some more things to do, but as far as I know, you need to add Q_WS_WIN define to qmake. You will do this by adding one line DEFINES += Q_WS_WIN to QupZilla.pro file. ####################### ## Available Defines ## ####################### General: UNRELEASED_BUILD QupZilla won't check profile version, thus, it won't reset your profile is lower version (disabled by default) Windows specific defines W7API Build QupZilla with Windows 7 API support (enabled by default) Linux / Unix specific defines: NO_SYSTEM_DATAPATH By default, QupZilla is using /usr/share/qupzilla/ path for storing themes, translations and plugins.
