Build instructions for Qt Creator 3.5.1 under Ubuntu 12.04

NB These are outdated, please refer to Building using GYP/CMake instructions.

Prepare

  • Install git by command sudo apt-get install git in Terminal
  • Install g++ by command sudo apt-get install g++ in Terminal
  • Install Qt Creator from Downloads page

You need to install g++ version 4.9 manually by such commands

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
  • sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 21
  • sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9 21

Prepare folder

Choose a folder for the future build, for example /home/user/TBuild There you will have two folders, Libraries for third-party libs and tdesktop (or tdesktop-master) for the app.

Clone source code

By git – in Terminal go to /home/user/TBuild and run

git clone --recursive https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git

Prepare libraries

Install dev libraries

sudo apt-get install libexif-dev liblzma-dev libz-dev libssl-dev libappindicator-dev libunity-dev

./configure -prefix "/usr/local/tdesktop/Qt-5.6.2" -release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-freetype -qt-harfbuzz -qt-pcre -qt-xcb -qt-xkbcommon-x11 -no-opengl -no-gtkstyle -static -openssl-linked -nomake examples -nomake tests
make -j4
sudo make install

building (make command) will take really long time.

Building Telegram Desktop

  • Launch Qt Creator, all projects will be taken from /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram
  • Tools > Options > Build & Run > Qt Versions tab > Add > File System /usr/local/tdesktop/Qt-5.6.2/bin/qmake > Qt 5.6.2 (Qt-5.6.2) > Apply
  • Tools > Options > Build & Run > Kits tab > Desktop (default) > change Qt version to Qt 5.6.2 (Qt-5.6.2) > Apply
  • Open MetaLang.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateLang and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediateLang and build for Debug
  • Open Telegram.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediate and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediate and build for Debug, if GeneratedFiles are not found click Run qmake from Build menu and try again
  • Open Updater.pro, configure project with paths /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/DebugIntermediateUpdater and /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Linux/ReleaseIntermediateUpdater and build for Debug
  • Release Telegram build will require removing CUSTOM_API_ID definition in Telegram.pro project and may require changing paths in /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/FixMake.sh or /home/user/TBuild/tdesktop/Telegram/FixMake32.sh for static library linking fix, static linking applies only on second Release build (first uses old Makefile)
