Build instructions

Please check OS specific requirements below.

By default the app builds for testing server. To use the compiled app with live server see this guide https://github.com/toggl/toggldesktop/wiki/Building-Toggl-Desktop-from-source-for-usage-with-live-servers

Build using Makefile

First, build dependencies:

make deps

then the app itself:

make

To build, then run the app:

make run

Run unit tests with

make test

and UI tests with

make uitest

Linux

You'll need QT to be at least version 5.5

If qmake is not on your PATH, set this first, before running make:

export QMAKE=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5

Below are some distribution specific package requirements:

Debian

• libreadline-dev
• qt5-default
• libxss-dev
• libqt5x11extras5-dev
• libqt5webkit5-dev

Ubuntu

• libreadline-dev
• xorg-dev
• qtcreator
• libxss-dev
• libqt5webkit5-dev
• libqt5x11extras5-dev
• qtbase5-private-dev

Fedora

• readline-devel
• qt5-qtwebkit-devel
• libXScrnSaver-devel
• qt5-qtsvg

Windows

Install dev tools

We're building the Windows app using Visual Studio Community - it's a free download

You'll need to install ActivePerl to build OpenSSL from source.

If you plan to run tests then you might want to install Cygwin.

Build OpenSSL

Use pre-built OpenSSL binaries (recommended)

Clone OpenSSL distribution provided by Poco project under the poco directory

cd %POCO_BASE%
git clone https://github.com/pocoproject/openssl

Or

build OpenSSL, from Visual Studio Tools, open up a Developer Command Prompt.

cd to the project folder, then

cd third_party\openssl
perl Configure VC-WIN32
ms\do_nasm
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak clean
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak 

Instead of do_nasm (use NASM) you can also use do_ms (no asm at all), or do_masm (use MASM). NASM can be downloaded here: http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/?C=M;O=D

Build the app

Now, select Release_VS from the Solution Configurations combobox in the Visual Studio toolbar, and build the solution.

If you have Cygwin installed, you can also build the app from from Cygwin terminal, using make. (See macOS and Linux build instructions on above regarding make).
