## How to build
### Build steps
First, clone this repository, e.g.:
Clone this repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict.git
```
git clone https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict.git
#### Linux build
```
cd goldendict && qmake-qt5 && make
```
### Linux (fedora)
And then invoke `qmake-qt5` and `make`:
#### macOS build
cd goldendict && qmake-qt5 && make
### ArchLinux
on archlinux based os, you can use `yay` to install the community goldendict-webengine-git .
#(Manjaro distribution)
pacman -S --needed git base-devel yay
yay -S goldendict-webengine-git
### macOS
```
brew install qt # or use official offline installer
qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=zim_support CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS="x86_64 arm64"
qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=zim_support CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support QMAKE_APPLE_DEVICE_ARCHS="x86_64 arm64"
make
make install
```
### Windows
Alternatively, you might want to load `goldendict.pro` file from within Qt Creator, especially on Windows.
#### Windows build
the source code has offered precompile x64 windows libs on winlibs/lib/msvc. you can build your own version either.
### Building with Chinese conversion support
To build with Visual Studio.
check this [how to build with visual studio](howto/how%20to%20build%20and%20debug%20with%20VS2019.md)
To add Chinese conversion support you need at first install libopencc-dev package:
Alternatively, you might want to load `goldendict.pro` file from within Qt Creator.
sudo apt-get install libopencc-dev
### Build Configurations
Then pass `"CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support"` to `qmake`
**Notice**: All additional configs for `qmake` that must be combined in one of pass config options to `qmake`:
```
qmake-qt5 "CONFIG+=release" "CONFIG+=zim_support" "CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support"
```
qmake "CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support"
To ensure the changes applied, you may want to use `make clean` before `make`.
### Building with Zim dictionaries support
#### Building with Chinese conversion support
To add Zim and Slob formats support you need at first install lzma-dev and zstd-dev packages:
To add Chinese conversion support you need at first install libopencc-dev package, then pass `"CONFIG+=chinese_conversion_support"` to `qmake`.
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libzstd-dev
```
sudo apt-get install libopencc-dev
```
Then pass `"CONFIG+=zim_support"` to `qmake`
#### Building with Zim dictionaries support
qmake "CONFIG+=zim_support"
To add Zim and Slob formats support you need at first install lzma-dev and zstd-dev packages, then pass `"CONFIG+=zim_support"` to `qmake`
### Building without extra tiff handler( DEPRECATED )
```
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libzstd-dev
```
#### Building without extra tiff handler( DEPRECATED )
**deprecated: qt has offered b/w tiff support which means this options should always _enabled_. intend to remove in the future.**
@ -98,77 +120,55 @@ If you have problem building with libtiff5-dev package, you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler"` to `qmake` in order to disable extra tiff support
(without such extra support some b/w tiff images will not be displayed):
qmake "CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler"
### Building without Epwing format support
#### Building without Epwing format support
If you have problem building with libeb-dev package, you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_epwing_support"` to `qmake` in order to disable Epwing format support
qmake "CONFIG+=no_epwing_support"
#### Building without internal audio players
### Building without internal audio players
If you have problem building with FFmpeg/libao (for example, Ubuntu older than 12.04), you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable FFmpeg+libao internal audio player back end:
qmake "CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"
If you have problem building with FFmpeg (for example, very old linux distro), you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable FFmpeg internal audio player back end.
If you have problem building with Qt5 Multimedia or experience GStreamer run-time errors (for example, Ubuntu 14.04), you can pass
`"CONFIG+=no_qtmultimedia_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable Qt Multimedia internal audio player back end:
`"CONFIG+=no_qtmultimedia_player"` to `qmake` in order to disable Qt Multimedia internal audio player back end.
qmake "CONFIG+=no_qtmultimedia_player"
<b>NB:</b> All additional settings for `qmake` that you need must be combined in one `qmake` launch, for example:
qmake "CONFIG+=zim_support" "CONFIG+=no_extra_tiff_handler" "CONFIG+=no_ffmpeg_player"
Then, invoke `make clean` before `make` because the setting change:
make clean && make
### Building with xapian
#### Building with xapian
build xapian from source, download and extract the xapian-core source code.
./configure
make
make install
```
./configure
make
make install
```
On Windows,follow the instructions in the xapian-core/INSTALL Visual Studio parts.**xapian does not support to use the Debug lib in Windows. have to debug in release version mode using xapian's release lib**.
A precompiled version of xapian lib has provided in winlibs
use `CONFIG+=use_xapian` to enable this feature. when enabled ,xapian will be used to support as the the fulltext's backend engine.
qmake "CONFIG+=use_xapian"
```
qmake "CONFIG+=use_xapian"
```
### Building under Windows with MS Visual Studio
## Contributing
the source code has offered precompile x64 windows libs on winlibs/lib/msvc. you can build your own version either.
All kinds of help like answering questions, bug reporting, testing translation and coding are welcomed.
To build with Visual Studio.
check this [how to build with visual studio](howto/how%20to%20build%20and%20debug%20with%20VS2019.md)
To start coding, the easiest way is load the `goldendict.pro` file to Qt Creator, make some changes then press the run button.
## Support
## Installation
Bug reporting: [GoldenDict issue tracker](https://github.com/goldendict/goldendict/issues)
Installation is an optional step since the built binary can be used as-is without installation. But you can properly install via:
make install
<b>NB:</b> Don't do that on Windows!
You can uninstall via:
make uninstall
