Document the build steps #261

Open berezovskyi opened 10 years ago

berezovskyi commented 10 years ago

There is no README file or Wiki, so I think there should be a place where there are introductory guidelines to compiling the project (after deciding to attempt to fix the issue #168).

I am doing it on Ubuntu 14.04, so I will describe my steps for this platforms.

I hope that when I manage to build the project successfully, the outline of my steps will make it to Wiki/README to make the lives of other people easier.

First, I had to create a makefiles/target.mk file:

TARGET_ARCH = desktop
UI_TYPE = gtk

Next, ccache was required: sudo apt-get install ccache

The linebreak.h is part of the libunibreak package: sudo apt-get install libunibreak-dev Also, you need to replace the linked library -llinebreak with -lunibreak in:

Old liblinebreak exists only in the repositories for Ubuntu 10.04.

The library fribidi is required as well: sudo apt-get install libfribidi-bin libfribidi-dev

Ooops, there is README.build, will work on getting the packaging to succeed and will try to make a Wiki page out of that.

berezovskyi commented 10 years ago

Well, I have made to the end before seeing README, so I only had to execute make install to be able to run the FBReader on my system.

berezovskyi commented 10 years ago

I've added the wiki page that combines the contents of the README.build as well as the Ubuntu-specific findings I did.

@geometer, could you take a look, please? And close the issue if everything is in place.

P.S. I would appreciate the instructions on how to build the packages for desktop-debian. Below is my output:

andrew@andrew-zenbook:~/src/FBReader$ ./build_packages.sh desktop-debian
