Compiling Mudlet
Key contributing information
Clang format is used to automatically format code submissions using the src/.clang-format style. See here how to enable clang-format with Qt Creator - and make sure to specify the 'File' option for the configuration style.
Branches:
release_30 is the current branch that the installers are made from, and it is frozen from any new feature changes.
development is the development branch where new features can go.
release_31 contains some next-release improvements that will be merged into development once 3.0 is released.
The source of truth repository for Mudlet's Lua-side code is vadi2/mudlet-lua, synced into [github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet Mudlet/Mudlet] using a subtree merge strategy (soon to be git submodules after 3.0 is released).
Workflow:
Fork and submit a PR with your changes (Github tutorial).
Travis Integration
Mudlet is hosted on Github and uses Travis for continuous integration by building on a Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS Linux and a MacOS 10.11 platforms. This means that every push to the Git repository is test compiled on both Ubuntu and Mac OSX but not Microsoft Windows (yet).
Travis integration is defined in a .travis.yml file and in our case, it references shell scripts in the CI directory, which handle things like installing dependencies and building mudlet.
Note: Travis builds do not currently package mudlet, so not everything is automated.
Compiling
Compiling on Ubuntu 16.04
These instructions will get you setup compiling on Ubuntu. Need a hand? Join us on Gitter (need a Github account), Discord server or forums otherwise.
1. Install Git
sudo apt-get install git build-essential qt5-default qtmultimedia5-dev qttools5-dev \ libhunspell-dev lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev libpcre3-dev libboost-dev zlib1g-dev cmake \ libhunspell-dev lua-rex-pcre lua-sql-sqlite3 lua-filesystem lua-zip libyajl-dev \ libzip-dev
2. Get Mudlet source
git clone https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet.git mudlet
3. Go to the parent of the mudlet "src" folder and create (if necessary) a build subdirectory
(This is so that we can build out of source which keeps the source code clean!}
cd mudlet mkdir build cd build
4. Run the following commands, depending on which build system you want to use
EITHER:
qmake CONFIG+=debug ../src/src.pro
OR:
cmake ..
THEN:
make -j 2
if you have more than one processor core you can increase the number after -j to one more than the number of cores you would like to devote to building the application to speed things up.
5. Start the application you have just compiled - enjoy
./mudlet
Optionally - install ccache and enable it for quicker compilation when switching branches and so on.

6. Enjoy
The Mudlet.app is now available in Finder for launching.
Compiling on Debian 'Sid'
1. Install required packages from main repo.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential lua5.1 liblua5.1-0-dev libpcre3-dev libboost-dev zlib1g-dbg zlib1g-dev libyajl2 \ libyajl-dev libyajl2-dbg libphonon-dev libhunspell-dev lua-filesystem zlib-bin libzzip-dev lua-rex-pcre lua-zip \ lua-sql-sqlite3 qt5-default git libquazip-dev
2. Grab latest Mudlet source.
$ cd ~ && mkdir projects && cd projects && git clone https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet.git
3. Build latest libzip.
$ cd mudlet/src && wget http://www.nih.at/libzip/libzip-0.11.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf libzip-0.11.1.tar.gz && cd libzip-0.11.1
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
Note: libzip has since reached the version 1.0 milestone - and it is possible that we will move forward to use later version library calls - this version is, I think the minimum version that is usable with the current Mudlet code which may be an issue for some earlier Debian distributions (7.x, "Wheezy" at least only ships a 0.10.x version). --slysven 19:41, 15 January 2017 (EST)
4. Download and install QT development package.
$ \curl -sS http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.6.2.run
$ chmod +x qt-opensource* && ./qt-opensource*
5. Fix issues.
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libzip/include/zipconf.h /usr/local/include/zipconf.h
6. Build Mudlet.
$ cd ..
$ /home/<username>/Qt5.3.1/5.3/gcc/bin/qmake
$ make
Compiling on ArchLinux
The best way to do this would be to use the PKGBUILD found here. You'll just download the PKGBUILD into a directory, run
makepkg sudo pacman -U [name of the generated pkg file]
and you'll be done. For more info on what this does, visit this site.
Compiling on Gentoo
An overlay containing Mudlet is available for compiling Mudlet on Gentoo.
Compiling on Windows 10
These instructions will get you setup compiling on Windows. Need a hand? Join us on Gitter (need a Github account), Discord server or forums otherwise.
1.Download & Install the Prerequisites
Qt: http://download.qt.io/official_releases/online_installers/qt-unified-windows-x86-online.exe Run the installer and de-select everything and just select: Qt->Qt 5.6->MinGW 4.9.2 (32 bit) Qt->Qt 5.6->Source components In this tutorial, it is installed in C:\Qt\ (so you will have C:\Qt\5.x)
7Zip: http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1602-x64.msi
Notepad++: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download (at the last check it was at version 7.3) Recommended if you don't have a good source editor installed already (it is release under a GPL License).
Mingw-builds: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.8.1/32-bit/threads-posix/dwarf/x32-4.8.1-release-posix-dwarf-rev5.7z/download extract this to C:\mingw32
Latest msys from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/ put the msys folder in C:\mingw32, so you get C:\mingw32\msys
CMake: http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.0/cmake-3.0.0-win32-x86.exe
Python: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.11/python-2.7.11.msi
2.Download libraries in MSYS
Open MSYS (click msys.bat in the C:\mingw32\msys folder), where you'll be in a home directory. Copy the lines below and right-click on the terminal to paste them:
mkdir src cd src wget --no-check-certificate --output-document hunspell-1.4.1.tar.gz https://github.com/hunspell/hunspell/archive/v1.4.1.tar.gz wget http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.1.5.tar.gz wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/8.38/pcre-8.38.tar.gz/download wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz wget http://www.sqlite.org/2013/sqlite-autoconf-3071700.tar.gz wget --no-check-certificate https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/libzip_0.11.2.orig.tar.gz wget --no-check-certificate --output-document yajl-2.0.1.tar.gz https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/tarball/2.0.1 wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/zziplib/files/zziplib13/0.13.62/zziplib-0.13.62.tar.bz2/download wget --no-check-certificate -P openssl-1.0.2k https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2k-i386-win32.zip
A folder will get created in C:\mingw32\msys\home\your_name\src with all the files.
Extract all libraries with:
for a in `ls -1 *.tar.gz`; do tar -zxvf $a; done for a in `ls -1 *.tar.bz2`; do tar xvfj $a; done /c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7z -oopenssl-1.0.2k e openssl-1.0.2k-i386-win32.zip
Boost:
wget --no-check-certificate https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.gz/download /c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7z e boost_1_60_0.tar.gz && /c/Program\ Files/7-Zip/7z x boost_1_60_0.tar cp -r boost_1_60_0/boost /c/mingw32/include
3.Compiling libraries
Environment Settings
You want control over what compilers are being using so prefix your Path with (in system environment variables):
C:\Python27 C:\mingw32\bin C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin C:\Qt\5.6\mingw49_32\bin
Be sure to restart msys.bat after setting the above to pick up the new values.
MSYS Compilations
All of the following will be completed inside the msys command prompt.
cd into each respective directory:
Hunspell:
./configure --prefix=/c/mingw32 && make -j 2 && make install
YAJL: First, remove all the windows specific compiler settings with:
powershell -Command "(Get-Content CMakeLists.txt -Raw) -replace '\/W4' -replace '(?<=SET\(linkFlags)[^\)]+' -replace '\/wd4996 \/wd4255 \/wd4130 \/wd4100 \/wd4711' -replace '(?<=SET\(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG .)\/D \DEBUG \/Od \/Z7', '-g' -replace '(?<=SET\(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE .)\/D NDEBUG \/O2', '-O2' | Out-File -encoding ASCII CMakeLists.txt"
Then compile:
mkdir build cd build cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" .. make cp yajl-2.0.1/lib/* /c/mingw32/lib/ cp -R yajl-2.0.1/include/* /c/mingw32/include/
Lua: edit the Makefile, change INSTALL_TOP= /usr/local to INSTALL_TOP= /c/mingw32
change TO_LIB= liblua.a to TO_LIB= liblua.a lua51.dll
make mingw make install
PCRE:
./configure --prefix=/c/mingw32 && make -j 2 && make install
Sqlite:
./configure --prefix=/c/mingw32 && make -j 2 && make install
ZLib:
make -f win32/Makefile.gcc export INCLUDE_PATH=/c/mingw32/include/ export LIBRARY_PATH=/c/mingw32/lib/ export BINARY_PATH=/c/mingw32/bin/ make -f win32/Makefile.gcc install cp zlib1.dll /c/mingw32/bin cp libz.dll.a /c/mingw32/lib
LibZip:
./configure --prefix=/c/mingw32 && make -j 2 && make install cp lib/zipconf.h /c/mingw32/include
ZZIPlib:
powershell -Command "(gc configure) -replace 'uname -msr', 'uname -ms' | Out-File -encoding ASCII configure" configure --disable-mmap --prefix=c:/mingw32/ && make -j 2 && make install
3.Downloading Mudlet Sources
Getting Mudlet
From within msys:
cd ~/src git clone https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet.git cd Mudlet/src git checkout release_30
Building Mudlet from terminal
cd ~/src/Mudlet/src qmake CONFIG+=debug make -j 2
NOTE: If you install any of the above in a directory other than /c/mingw32, it is necessary to override some of the default include/lib paths that qmake sets up. To do so, you'll need to append a number of INCLUDEPATH and LIBPATH parameters to the qmake call.
Example (installed in an F: drive):
qmake CONFIG+=debug INCLUDEPATH+=/f/mingw32/include INCLUDEPATH+=/f/mingw32/lib/include LIBPATH+=/f/mingw32/lib LIBPATH+=/f/mingw32/lib/lib LIBPATH+=/f/mingw32/bin
Building Mudlet from QtCreator
Open src.pro (within Mudlet2/src) in Qt Creator, disable shadow builds for both release and debug. Change build type to debug (bottom-left) and compile.
4.Copy Needed DLLs
Copy the following dll's needed to run Mudlet: See above note about alternative install paths before copying.
cd debug/ cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/icudt54.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/icuin54.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/icuuc54.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5Core.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5Gui.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5Network.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5OpenGL.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5Widgets.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/Qt5Multimedia.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/libstdc++-6.dll . cp /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/bin/libwinpthread-1.dll . cp /c/mingw32/lib/libyajl.dll . cp $HOME/src/lua-5.1.5/src/lua51.dll . cp $HOME/src/lua-5.1.5/src/lua51.dll /c/mingw32/bin cp $HOME/src/openssl-1.0.2k/libeay32.dll . cp $HOME/src/openssl-1.0.2k/ssleay32.dll . cp /c/mingw32/bin/libzip-2.dll . cp /c/mingw32/bin/libhunspell-1.4-0.dll . cp /c/mingw32/bin/libpcre-1.dll . cp /c/mingw32/bin/libsqlite3-0.dll . cp /c/mingw32/bin/zlib1.dll . cp -r ../mudlet-lua/ . cp ../*.dic . cp -r /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/plugins/audio . cp -r /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/plugins/mediaservice . cp -r /c/Qt/5.6/mingw49_32/plugins/platforms .

5.Setting up Lua libraries
At this point your Lua install will be bare-bones and lacking the Lua libraries Mudlet uses.
cd ~/src wget --no-check-certificate http://keplerproject.github.io/luarocks/releases/luarocks-2.4.0-win32.zip unzip luarocks-2.4.0-win32.zip
Switch to the Windows command line to install luarocks:
cd C:\mingw32\msys\home\%USERNAME%\src\luarocks-2.4.0-win32 install.bat /P C:\LuaRocks /MW
Wait for the installation to finish. Then:
cd \LuaRocks\lua\luarocks powershell -Command "(gc cfg.lua) -replace 'mingw32-gcc', 'gcc' | Out-File -encoding ASCII cfg.lua" cd \LuaRocks luarocks install LuaFileSystem luarocks install LuaSQL-SQLite3 SQLITE_INCDIR="c:\mingw32\include" SQLITE_LIBDIR="c:\mingw32\lib" luarocks install lrexlib-pcre PCRE_LIBDIR="c:\mingw32\lib" PCRE_INCDIR="c:\mingw32\include"
Back in the msys command line:
cd ~/src wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luazip/archive/master.zip unzip master cd luazip-master/ gcc -O2 -c -o src/luazip.o -IC:/mingw32/include/ src/luazip.c gcc -shared -o zip.dll src/luazip.o -Lc:\mingw32\lib -lzzip -lz c:/mingw32/bin/lua51.dll -lm cp zip.dll ~/src/Mudlet/src/debug cp zip.dll ~/src/Mudlet/src/release cp -r /c/mingw32/lib/lua/5.1/* ~/src/Mudlet/src/debug cp -r /c/mingw32/lib/lua/5.1/* ~/src/Mudlet/src/release
You're done! You can now launch mudlet by running mudlet.exe in the debug/ folder, or from command line:
cd ~/src/Mudlet/src/debug ./mudlet.exe
