## Build from source
### Dependencies
* C++17 compiler
* Qt 5.15 or latest QT version 6.X
* Various libraries on Linux, see below
* On Mac and Windows all the libraries are included in the repository
* Qt Creator is recommended for development
Steps below are using qt5, and you may use qt6 by replacing `5` with `6`.
#### Ubuntu
```
sudo apt-get install git pkg-config build-essential qt5-qmake \
libvorbis-dev zlib1g-dev libhunspell-dev x11proto-record-dev \
qtdeclarative5-dev libxtst-dev liblzo2-dev libbz2-dev \
libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libeb16-dev \
libqt5svg5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev qttools5-dev \
qttools5-dev-tools qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5multimedia5-plugins libqt5webchannel5-dev qtwebengine5-dev \
libqt5texttospeech5-dev
```
#### Fedora 35
```
sudo dnf install git pkg-config libzstd-devel opencc-devel xz-devel xz-lzma-compat\
libvorbis-devel zlib-devel hunspell-devel lzo-devel bzip2-devel \
ffmpeg-devel eb-devel qt5-qtx11extras-devel libXtst-devel \
libxkbcommon-devel qt5-qtbase qt5-qttools qt5-qtsvg-devl qt5-qtwebengine-devel qt5-qtmultimedia-devel
```
### Build steps
Clone this repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/xiaoyifang/goldendict-ng.git
```
#### Linux build
```
cd goldendict-ng && qmake-qt5 && make
```
#### macOS build
```
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"
make
make install
```
#### Windows build
the source code has offered precompile x64 windows libs on winlibs/lib/msvc. you can build your own version either.
To build with Visual Studio.
check this [how to build with visual studio](howto/how%20to%20build%20and%20debug%20with%20VS2019.md)
Alternatively, you might want to load `goldendict.pro` file from within Qt Creator.
### Build Configurations
**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"
```
To ensure the changes applied, you may want to use `make clean` before `make`.
#### Building with Chinese conversion support
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 libopencc-dev
```
#### Building with Zim dictionaries 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`
```
sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libzstd-dev
```
#### 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
#### Building without internal audio players
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.
#### Building with xapian
build xapian from source, download and extract the xapian-core source code.
```
./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"
```
use `CONFIG+=use_iconv` to enable this feature. when enabled ,iconv will be used to convert encoding other than the QTextCodec(which will be deprecated in future Qt version)
```
qmake "CONFIG+=use_iconv"
```
when enabled ,iconv should be installed on the platform at the same time.
## Contributing
All kinds of help like answering questions, bug reporting, testing translation and coding are welcomed.
To start coding, the easiest way is load the `goldendict.pro` file to Qt Creator, make some changes then press the run button.
