Build instructions?

[Drigax]

Hi,

I'm really excited to try this tool. Do you have a build command or makefile that you can add to the repo? I'd like to give this a shot, but I'm not sure how to link against QT

Hi @Drigax

To compile the program you should call qmake tool. It will create the Makefile.

The steps bellow should be suffice to compile the program:

$ git clone https://github.com/DanielBorgesOliveira/onedrive_tray.git $ cd onedrive_tray $ mkdir build $ cd build $ qmake ../systray.pro $ make

This will create systray binary.

I compiled it with QT 5.12.6 and 5.13.0 without problem. I am not sure if other versions of QT will work.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks! I'll give this a shot later today

Fyi: on Kubuntu (19..10) i had to add "sudo apt install qt5-default", since without this, i would be thrown a "qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''" at step "qmake..."

That is right @raoulteeuwen.

It is possible to use the package provided by QT company too. It is available at https://www.qt.io/download-open-source.

Thanks for this. Just built it and got it working on Debian Buster. A couple of comments/questions:

1) I think editing the line 47 or windows.cpp is now no longer needed? 2) The binary systray that appears in build can be renamed onedrive-systray and put in my ~bin folder (not sure that is the correct way to do it, I am pretty new to Linux, but that seemed sensible to me!) 3) If running this, it replaces onedrive as a service so systemctl --user disable onedrive 4) I use bspwm and polybar so to make it run on polybar launch I added onedrive-systray & to ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh

Hi @thomaswwp ,

1 - You are right. There is no need anymore to edit the windows.cpp file. I just updated the README.md with the new instructions. 2 - Correct. I put instructions about this in README.md. 3 - Yes. That is right. You should disable the onedrive service. 4 - Nice. I use bspwm with xfce4-panel. I put a call to the script autostart in ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc and put the call to onedrive-tray in ~/.config/bspwm/autostart.

The call in autostart file in my case is:

/usr/local/bin/onedrive_tray --onedrive-path "/usr/local/bin/onedrive" --onedrive-args "--monitor --local-first --skip-symlinks --confdir /home/daniel/.config/onedrive" &

I just wanted to add. For Debian I installed qtbase5-dev and then I was able to run qmake ../systray.pro however I got stuck at this step onedrive_tray --onedrive-path [path to onedrive client] --onedrive-args [onedrive client arguments].
