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 information 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.
On Linux, you can easily do it by running make install.
If you are unsure where is the right place, you can check it directly from
QupZilla by clicking from Help Menu on Configuration Information, then in
Path section.
You may want to build QupZilla with debugging symbols (for generating
backtrace of crash) as easily as adding one line to src/defines.pri:
CONFIG += debug
QupZilla requires Qt (>=4.7.0) and QtWebKit (at least version included in Qt 4.7)
Microsoft Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 2010 or higher, Qt Libraries 4.8.0
or higher, QtWebKit 2.3 or higher and Hunspell library in order to build QupZilla.
It is possible, with small changes, to build also with older Microsoft compilers
or without Hunspell spellchecking.
However, it is not expected from Windows users to build their software, so only
one configuration is supported by default.
Linux / Unix
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no extra dependency, you only need Qt tools.
MAC OS X
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no extra dependency, you only need Qt tools and XCode.
After successful compilation, you need to run macdeploy.sh script to correctly
build the application bundle. You will do it with following command:
$ ./scripts/macdeploy.sh <path-to-macdeployqt>
You need to specifiy path to macdeployqt (usually in QTDIR/bin/macdeployqt) only
if it is not in PATH.
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.
Builds are provided by netlabs.org (http://svn.netlabs.org/qtapps/wiki/QT4%20Networking)
FreeBSD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may need to set few sysctls to get QupZilla running with raster graphics system.
For more informations, please see FAQ.
Available Defines
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can set define directly in file (src/defines.pri)
or set environment variable by
$ export NAME="value"
General:
PORTABLE_BUILD QupZilla won't write any data outside of path of exection.
It will also disable plugins by default.
(disabled by default)
example:
$ export PORTABLE_BUILD="true"
USE_WEBGL Enable WebGL. You need to build QupZilla with WebKit built
with WebGL support, otherwise you won't be able to compile
without errors.
Only for QtWebKit lower than 2.3
(disabled by default)
example:
$ export USE_WEBGL="true"
NONBLOCK_JS_DIALOGS Enable non-blocking JavaScript dialogs from alert() prompt()
and confirm() functions. They are shown inside page and are not
blocking application window.
However, due to synchronous API, there is a possible crash when
closing browser windows with opened dialogs.
If you can take this risk and/or make sure you aren't closing browser
with opened dialogs, you may enable this option.
These dialogs are much more beautiful than normal QDialogs.
(disabled by default)
example:
$ export NONBLOCK_JS_DIALOGS="true"
Windows specific defines:
W7API Enable Windows 7 API support
Requires linking against libraries from Microsoft Visual C++
Compiler 2010
(enabled by default)
W7TASKBAR Enable Windows 7 Taskbar support
Requires linking against libraries from Microsoft Visual C++
Compiler 2010
May cause crash when downloading files on some systems.
(disabled by default)
Linux / Unix specific defines:
KDE For now, it just use better oxygen icons in Preferences.
Nepomuk integration is planned, and it will be enabled with
this define also.
example:
$ export KDE="true"
USE_LIBPATH By default, /usr/lib/ is used for libQupZilla and /usr/lib/qupzilla
for plugins.
You can change it by setting this define. Ending slash is needed!
example:
$ export USE_LIBPATH="/usr/lib64/"
NO_SYSTEM_DATAPATH By default, QupZilla is using /usr/share/qupzilla/ path
for storing themes and translations.
By setting this define, QupZilla will use path of execution.
(disabled by default)
example:
$ export NO_SYSTEM_DATAPATH="true"
QUPZILLA_PREFIX You can define different prefix. Prefix must contain ending slash.
(default prefix is "/usr/")
QupZilla binary will then be moved to PREFIX/bin/, use
PREFIX/share/qupzilla/ as datadir, PREFIX/share/applications for
desktop launcher and PREFIX/share/pixmaps for icon.
Ending slash is needed!
example:
$ export QUPZILLA_PREFIX="/usr/"
DISABLE_DBUS Build without QtDBus module. Native desktop notifications will be disabled.
example:
$ export DISABLE_DBUS="true"
