For all dependencies below we use Qt 6. Our minimum supported version is Qt 5.15.2, but you are on your own.
Building on Ubuntu requires Docker.
Use https://github.com/Chatterino/docker/pkgs/container/chatterino2-build-ubuntu-20.04 as your base if you're on Ubuntu 20.04.
Use https://github.com/Chatterino/docker/pkgs/container/chatterino2-build-ubuntu-22.04 if you're on Ubuntu 22.04.
The built binary should be exportable from the final image & able to run on your system assuming you perform a static build. See our build.yml GitHub workflow file for the CMake line used for Ubuntu builds.
sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-5compat-dev qt6-svg-dev qt6-image-formats-plugins libboost1.81-dev libssl-dev cmake g++ git
sudo pacman -S --needed qt6-base qt6-tools boost-libs openssl qt6-imageformats qt6-5compat qt6-svg boost rapidjson pkgconf openssl cmake
Alternatively you can use the chatterino2-git package to build and install Chatterino for you.
Most likely works the same for other Red Hat-like distros. Substitute dnf
with yum
.
sudo dnf install qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qtimageformats qt6-qtsvg-devel qt6-qt5compat-devel g++ git openssl-devel boost-devel cmake
nix-shell -p openssl boost qt6.full pkg-config cmake
- In the project directory, create a build directory and enter it
mkdir build cd build
- Generate build files. To enable Lua plugins in your build add
-DCHATTERINO_PLUGINS=ON
to this command.cmake -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON -DBUILD_WITH_QTKEYCHAIN=OFF ..
- Build the project
cmake --build .
- Install C++ IDE Qt Creator by using
sudo apt install qtcreator
(Or whatever equivalent for your distro) - Open
CMakeLists.txt
with Qt Creator and select build
