Building Sourcetrail requires several dependencies to be in place on your machine. However, our CMake based setup allows to disable indexing support for specific languages which reduces the number of dependencies to a minimum.
This is required for generating the Sourcetrail version number. Get it from: https://git-scm.com/download.
Make sure git is available in added to your PATH environment variable.
This is used for generating a build configuration. Get it from: https://cmake.org/download/
This is optionally used to speed up rebuilds if found in PATH.
For the msvc compiler pre-built binaries can be downloaded from sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries
For building on Unix:
$ ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem,program_options,system,date_time
$ ./b2 --link=static --variant=release --threading=multi --runtime-link=static --cxxflags=-fPIC
Note: still causes style issues on Windows, resort to Qt 5.10
For the msvc compiler pre-built binaries can be downloaded from download.qt.io/official_releases/qt
$ cd Sourcetrail
$ mkdir -p build/win64
$ cd build/win64
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=<path/to/boost_1_68_0> -DQt5_DIR=<path/to/Qt/version/platform/compiler/lib/cmake/Qt5> ../..
If you are using the gui, we recommend that you activate advanced mode. Also you may be required to add some of the defines via the "Add Entry" button.
After generating the build configuration, just open the Sourcetrail.sln file that was generated by CMake and build the Sourcetrail project.
$ cd Sourcetrail
$ mkdir -p build/Release
$ cd build/Release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DBOOST_ROOT=<path/to/boost_1_68_0> -DQt5_DIR=<path/to/Qt/version/platform/compiler/lib/cmake/Qt5> ../..
$ make Sourcetrail
Run Sourcetrail from within the build directory. During execution Sourcetrail needs resources from bin/app/data and bin/app/user. Cmake creates symlinks to these directories within the build directory.
For the msvc compiler, follow these steps to build the project. Make sure to check out the correct tag and to run the cmake command exactly as described.
For Unix, follow this installation guide
Build with -DLLVM_ENABLE_RTTI=ON.
Run CMake with these additional options:
-DClang_DIR=<path/to/llvm_build/lib/cmake/clang>
-DBUILD_CXX_LANGUAGE_PACKAGE=ON
Install JDK and make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set:
JAVA_HOME=.../Java/jdk1.x.x_xxx
Also make sure <jdk_root>/bin is available in your PATH environmen variable.
Install Maven and make sure both M2_HOME and MAVEN_HOME environment variables are set:
M2_HOME=.../apache-maven-x.x.x
MAVEN_HOME=.../apache-maven-x.x.x
Also make sure .../apache-maven-x.x.x/bin is available in your PATH environmen variable.
Run CMake with these additional options:
-DBUILD_JAVA_LANGUAGE_PACKAGE=ON
Run CMake with these additional options:
-DBUILD_PYTHON_LANGUAGE_PACKAGE=ON
Make sure to append these directories to your PATH environment variable:
- VisualStudio/Common7/Tools
- VisualStudio/Common7/IDE
- .../Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v7.1A/Bin (for uuidgen in deploy script)
- .../WiX Toolset v3.11/bin
- .../WinRAR
Run ./script/deploy_windows.sh script which will generate 32bit/64bit builds and packages these into a portable .zip file and a Wix-based Windows installer, each.
After building, run the bundle_install.sh script within the build directory which will create a Sourcetrail.app bundle and generate a Sourcetrail_<version>.dmg container.
Run ./script/buildonly.sh package
The automated test suite of Sourcetrail is powered by Catch2. To run the tests, simply execute the Sourcetrail_test binary. Before executing, please make sure to set the working directory to ./bin/test.
