Requirements
============
Qt http://www.qt.io/
Qt4 minimum version 4.7.1 or later, preferable 4.8.7
or
Qt5 minimum version 5.9.1 or later, preferable 5.15.2 <- this is the recommended and supported version
or
Qt6 minimum version 6.4.0 or later (pay attention: generally, Qt6 is not yet considered ready for production use)
EDFbrowser is a GNU/Linux & GCC & GNU Make project. Other platforms, tools or compilers are not supported.
This is not going to change. I mean it!
EDFbrowser requires a little-endian system. EDFbrowser does not work with a CPU with a big-endian architecture.
Introduction
============
EDFbrowser is a Qt application and uses qmake as part of the build process.
Qmake is part of your Qt installation.
Compiling and installing on Ubuntu Linux and derivatives
========================================================
sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++ make git qtbase5-dev-tools qtbase5-dev
git clone https://gitlab.com/Teuniz/EDFbrowser.git
cd EDFbrowser
qmake
make -j24 (change option -j according to number of available cpu cores/threads e.g -j4 or -j8)
sudo make install
edfbrowser
Advanced users (keep in mind, EDFbrowser is NOT a community project, pull/merge requests will be ignored)
=========================================================================================================
In case you want to compile EDFbrowser "static" with Qt5, here is a howto:
First, fulfill the requirements for Qt:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux.html
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libcups2-dev libx11-dev
Fedora: sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
sudo dnf install mesa-libGL-devel cups-devel libx11-dev
openSUSE: sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis
sudo zypper install xorg-x11-devel cups-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel libxkbcommon-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel
#############################################################################################
# #
# Compile a static version of the Qt5 libraries excluding all modules that are not needed. #
# #
# This will not mess with your system libraries. The new compiled libraries will be stored #
# #
# in a new and separate directory: /usr/local/Qt-5.12.10-static #
# #
# It will not interfere with other Qt programs. #
# #
#############################################################################################
mkdir Qt5-source
cd Qt5-source
wget https://ftp1.nluug.nl/languages/qt/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.10/single/qt-everywhere-src-5.12.10.tar.xz
here is a list of download mirrors: https://download.qt.io/static/mirrorlist/
The Qt source package you are going to need is: qt-everywhere-src-5.12.10.tar.xz
tar -xvf qt-everywhere-src-5.12.10.tar.xz
cd qt-everywhere-src-5.12.10
./configure -v -prefix /usr/local/Qt-5.12.10-static -release -opensource -confirm-license -c++std c++11 -static -accessibility -fontconfig -no-libudev -no-vulkan -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtmultimedia -qt-zlib -no-mtdev -no-journald -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -system-freetype -qt-harfbuzz -no-openssl -no-libproxy -no-glib -nomake examples -nomake tests -no-compile-examples -cups -no-evdev -no-dbus -no-egl -no-eglfs -qreal double -no-opengl -skip qtlocation -skip qtsensors -skip qtwayland -skip qtgamepad -skip qtserialbus -skip qt3d -skip qtpurchasing -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtspeech -skip qtwebengine
make -j24 (change option -j according to number of available cpu cores e.g -j4 or -j8)
(takes about 2.5 minutes on an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X)
sudo make install
Now go to the directory that contains the EDFbrowser sourcecode and enter the following commands:
/usr/local/Qt-5.12.10-static/bin/qmake
make -j24 (change option -j according to number of available cpu cores e.g -j4 or -j8)
sudo make install
Now you can run the program by typing: edfbrowser
Congratulations!
You have compiled a static version of EDFbrowser that can be deployed on other systems without the need
to install the Qt libraries.
In order to reduce the size of the executable, run the following commands:
strip -s edfbrowser
upx edfbrowser (if upx is not recognized as a command, install it using your package manager)
Requirements on macOS (warning, I don't have a Mac and I cannot support it!)
=====================
Development tools from Apple: to get them, run
xcode-select --install
Qt >= 5.9.1: one method to get Qt on macOS is to install it via homebrew:
brew install qt
Note: after installing, qmake will likely not be in your $PATH, so you need to invoke it using its full path.
Build on macOS
==============
In the directory where you extracted sourcefile or cloned git repo, first run qmake, then make
(change option -j according to number of available cpu cores, get with 'sysctl -n hw.ncpu' command):
$(brew --prefix qt)/bin/qmake
make -j4
You can also build it in a dedicated subdirectory:
mkdir build
cd build
$(brew --prefix qt)/bin/qmake ..
make -j4
This will create the app bundle in the current directory, which you can then move to /Applications/ if desired.
