:computer: Nextcloud themed desktop client

nextcloud desktop client

💻 theme and build instructions for the nextcloud desktop client

Based on https://github.com/owncloud/client/blob/master/doc/building.rst

Getting repository ready

Run:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Building on Linux

Run:

mkdir build-linux
cd build-linux
cmake -D OEM_THEME_DIR=`pwd`/../nextcloudtheme ../client
make
make install

Building on OSX

Attention: When building make sure to use an old Core 2 Duo build machine running OS X 10.10. Otherwise the resulting binary won't work properly for users of an older device. Have at least 180 GB free disk space when compiling Qt. Make sure your user is named "builder".

Install dependencies

1. Install HomeBrew
2. brew install openssl wget cmake
3. wget https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle/releases/download/1.14.0/Sparkle-1.14.0.tar.bz2
4. tar -xf Sparkle-1.14.0.tar.bz2
5. mv Sparkle.framework ~/Library/Frameworks/
6. Install XCode 6.4 from http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_6.4/Xcode_6.4.dmg
7. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
8. Generate Sparkle keys: ./bin/generate_keys. Keep those, if you loose it you won't be able to deploy updates anymore.
9. Store the keys in osx/. Make sure to not make the dsa_priv.pem publicly available.
10. Install http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html

Compile Qt

Because the desktop client comes with a lot of custom patches you have to download the Qt 5.4.0 source and then apply all of them.

In addition to below patches you also need to apply https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/121545/

cd /tmp/
wget http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0.tar.gz
tar -xf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0.tar.gz

Build the client

sh osx/build.sh

Building on Windows

Building the docker image

The docker image contains the toolchain to build the windows binary. Build it:

docker build -t nextcloud-client-win32:<version> client/admin/win/docker/

Building the binary

docker run -v "$PWD:/home/user/" nextcloud-client-win32:2.2.2 /home/user/win/build.sh $(id -u)

Building a release

When we build releases there are two additional cmake parameters to consider:

• -DMIRALL_VERSION_SUFFIX=<STRING>: for a generic suffix name such as beta or rc1
• -DMIRALL_VERSION_BUILD=<INT>: an internal build number. Should be strickly increasing. This allows update detection from rc to final

Note that this had mostly usage on Windows and OS X. On linux the package manager will take care of all this.
