SparkleShare is a collaboration and sharing tool that is designed to keep things simple and to stay out of your way. It allows you to instantly sync with any Git repository you have access to.
SparkleShare currently works on Linux, Mac and Windows.
SparkleShare is free software and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 or later. You are welcome to change and redistribute it under certain conditions. For more information see the LICENSE file or visit http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html
Note:
SparkleShare creates its own RSA keypair in $HOME/.config/sparkleshare/
and uses
that for authentication. Please mind this if you're planning to set up your
own server by hand.
You can choose to build from source or get the packages through your distribution's repositories.
Requirements:
curl
git >= 1.7.3
gtk-sharp2
mono-core >= 2.8
notify-sharp
webkit-sharp
Optional:
nautilus-python
gvfs
libappindicator
Download, unzip and open the SparkleShare bundle.
Download the installer and run SparkleShare from the start menu.
$ sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp2 mono-runtime mono-devel monodevelop \
libndesk-dbus1.0-cil-dev nant libnotify-cil-dev libgtk2.0-cil-dev mono-mcs mono-gmcs \
libwebkit-cil-dev intltool libtool python-nautilus libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil-dev
For Ubuntu libappindicator
support, install the following package:
$ sudo apt-get install libappindicator0.1-cil-dev
$ sudo yum install gtk-sharp2-devel mono-core mono-devel monodevelop \
ndesk-dbus-devel ndesk-dbus-glib-devel nautilus-python-devel nant \
notify-sharp-devel webkit-sharp-devel webkitgtk-devel libtool intltool
You can then build and install SparkleShare like this:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr (or ./autogen.sh if you build from the repository)
$ make
$ sudo make install
Note: Use --prefix=/usr
if you want the Nautilus extension to work.
Install Xcode, the Mono Framework, MonoDevelop and the MonoMac plugin (you can find it in MonoDevelop => Add-in Manager).
You may need to adjust some environment variables to let the build environment tools find mono:
$ export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin:$PATH
$ export PKG_CONFIG=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pkg-config
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig
Install git, automake, and intltool using MacPorts:
$ sudo port install git-core automake intltool
Start the first part of the build:
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtkui=no
$ make
Now that you have compiled the libraries, open SparkleShare/Mac/SparkleShare.sln
in
MonoDevelop and start the build.
To create the SparkleShare.app, make sure the project is focused and select Project from the menu bar and click "Create Mac Installer...". Make sure to select "Don't link assemblies".
Save the SparkleShare.app somewhere. Copy SparkleShare/Mac/config
to
SparkleShare.app/Contents/MonoBundle/config
(adjust the paths to where you saved the .app):
cp SparkleShare/Mac/config SparkleShare.app/Contents/MonoBundle/config
Copy /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/libintl.dylib
to SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources
Now you should have a working bundle that you can run.
Install version 4.0 of the .NET Framework if you haven't already.
Install msysGit. Change the install location to C:\msysgit
and use the default settings for the other settings during the installation. Copy the C:\msysgit
directory into bin\msysgit
(in the SparkleShare source directory).
Open a command prompt and execute the following:
cd C:\path\to\SparkleShare\source
cd SparkleShare\Windows
build
\bin
should now containSparkleShare.exe
, which you can run.
If you want to create an installer package, install WiX 3.6, and run:
build installer
