There's a small Makefile provided that does all necessary steps and creates a build directory, then copies the build artifact from the build directory. Just do make in the root directory, it should work.
Or you can use the usual Qt5 build process:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../src/kristall.pro
make- It seems like Qt wants
libzstd.so.3.1instead oflibzstd.so.3.2. Just symlink that file into the build directory - Use
makeand notgmaketo build the project.
- Requires packages
qt5-defaultqt5-qmakeqtmultimedia5-devmakeg++
- Requires packages
qt5qt5-multimedia
- set env variable
QT_SELECT=5
Compile OpenSSL with the following steps:
- Install Perl (either ActiveState or Strawberry)
- Install NASM
- Add both to your PATH
- Clone OpenSSL
- Open a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (or a command prompt that has ran vcvarsall.bat). You will need Administrator privileges for the install step
- In the OpenSSL root directory, run
perl Configure VC-WIN32if compiling for 32 bit,perl Configure VC-WIN64Afor 64 bit - Run
nmake - Run
nmake installto install OpenSSL inC:\Program Files\OpenSSL
Use QtCreator to build ./src/kristall.pro with default settings.
Use the Makefile to build build/kristall instead of the default target. There is currently no auto-recognition of MacOS (where qmake will output a kristall.app file), so you have to be a bit more manual.
- Install the following packages with
pkgman:qt5qt5_develqt5_tools
- Use
maketo build th executable
The provided desktop file can be installed into the local system
ln -s Kristall.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/kristall.desktopLink the kristall executable to your applications menu:
cd ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/Applications/

xq: When using torsocks(1) on kristall QNetworkInterface complains loudly about not being permitted to create an IPv6 socket..
MAC needs different default font: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/OrkuXDfQ/image.png
Audio doesn't stop when you load other media. This is a bit of shit.
Status bar is broken: It doesn't seem to map to tabs, if you have multiple open, which was a bit confusing (and would also be a really cool addition for easy comparison of responses).
