== Building QGIS with Qt 4.x ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Requires:** Ubuntu / Debian derived distro
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Note:** Refer to the section ''Building Debian packages'' for building
 | 
						|
debian packages.  Unless you plan to develop on QGIS, that is probably the
 | 
						|
easiest option to compile and install QGIS.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These notes are for Ubuntu - other versions and Debian derived distros may
 | 
						|
require slight variations in package names.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These notes are for if you want to build QGIS from source. One of the major
 | 
						|
aims here is to show how this can be done using binary packages for ***all***
 | 
						|
dependencies - building only the core QGIS stuff from source. I prefer this
 | 
						|
approach because it means we can leave the business of managing system packages
 | 
						|
to apt and only concern ourselves with coding QGIS!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This document assumes you have made a fresh install and have a 'clean' system.
 | 
						|
These instructions should work fine if this is a system that has already been
 | 
						|
in use for a while, you may need to just skip those steps which are irrelevant
 | 
						|
to you.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Prepare apt ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The packages QGIS depends on to build are available in the "universe" component
 | 
						|
of Ubuntu. This is not activated by default, so you need to activate it:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
+ Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
 | 
						|
+ Uncomment all the lines starting with "deb"
 | 
						|
+
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also you will need to be running Ubuntu 'precise' or higher in order for
 | 
						|
all dependencies to be met.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now update your local sources database:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sudo apt-get update
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 |

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Setup ccache (Optional) ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You should also setup ccache to speed up compile times:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd /usr/local/bin
 | 
						|
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ccache gcc
 | 
						|
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ccache g++
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Prepare your development environment ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
As a convention I do all my development work in $HOME/dev/<language>, so in
 | 
						|
this case we will create a work environment for C++ development work like
 | 
						|
this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
mkdir -p ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 | 
						|
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This directory path will be assumed for all instructions that follow.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Check out the QGIS Source Code ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two ways the source can be checked out. Use the anonymous method
 | 
						|
if you do not have edit privileges for the QGIS source repository, or use
 | 
						|
  the developer checkout if you have permissions to commit source code
 | 
						|
  changes.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Anonymous Checkout
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 | 
						|
git clone git://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2. Developer Checkout
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd ${HOME}/dev/cpp
 | 
						|
git clone git@github.com:qgis/QGIS.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Starting the compile ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I compile my development version of QGIS into my ~/apps directory to avoid
 | 
						|
conflicts with Ubuntu packages that may be under /usr. This way for example
 | 
						|
you can use the binary packages of QGIS on your system along side with your
 | 
						|
development version. I suggest you do something similar:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
mkdir -p ${HOME}/apps
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now we create a build directory and run ccmake:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd QGIS
 | 
						|
mkdir build-master
 | 
						|
cd build-master
 | 
						|
ccmake ..
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When you run ccmake (note the .. is required!), a menu will appear where
 | 
						|
you can configure various aspects of the build. If you want QGIS to have
 | 
						|
debugging capabilities then set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Debug. If you do not have
 | 
						|
root access or do not want to overwrite existing QGIS installs (by your
 | 
						|
packagemanager for example), set the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to somewhere you
 | 
						|
have write access to (I usually use ${HOME}/apps). Now press
 | 
						|
'c' to configure, 'e' to dismiss any error messages that may appear.
 | 
						|
and 'g' to generate the make files. Note that sometimes 'c' needs to
 | 
						|
be pressed several times before the 'g' option becomes available.
 | 
						|
After the 'g' generation is complete, press 'q' to exit the ccmake
 | 
						|
interactive dialog.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now on with the build:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
make
 | 
						|
make install
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It may take a little while to build depending on your platform.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After that you can try to run QGIS:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
$HOME/apps/bin/qgis
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If all has worked properly the QGIS application should start up and appear
 | 
						|
on your screen.  If you get the error message "error while loading shared libraries",
 | 
						|
execute this command in your shell.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HOME}/apps/lib/
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Building Debian packages ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Instead of creating a personal installation as in the previous step you can
 | 
						|
also create debian package.  This is done from the QGIS root directory, where
 | 
						|
you'll find a debian directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First you need to install the debian packaging tools once:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apt-get install build-essential
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First you need to create an changelog entry for your distribution. For example
 | 
						|
for Ubuntu Precise:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
dch -l ~precise --force-distribution --distribution precise "precise build"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The QGIS packages will be created with:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Note:** Install ``devscripts`` to get ``dch``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Note:** If ``dpkg-buildpackage`` complains about unmet build dependencies
 | 
						|
you can install them using ``apt-get`` and re-run the command.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Note:** If you have ``libqgis1-dev`` installed, you need to remove it first
 | 
						|
using ``dpkg -r libqgis1-dev``.  Otherwise ``dpkg-buildpackage`` will complain about a
 | 
						|
build conflict.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Note:** By default tests are run in the process of building and their
 | 
						|
results are uploaded to http://dash.orfeo-toolbox.org/index.php?project=QGIS.
 | 
						|
You can turn the tests off using DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck in front of the
 | 
						|
build command. The upload of results can be avoided with DEB_TEST_TARGET=test.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The packages are created in the parent directory (ie. one level up).
 | 
						|
Install them using dpkg.  E.g.:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
sudo debi
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== Building QGIS with Qt 5.x ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
/!\ **Warning:** Qt 5 is not officially supported. Building against Qt 5
 | 
						|
libraries seems to work quite well already but be prepared that you are one
 | 
						|
of very few with this setup. We strongly recommend using QGIS with Qt 4 for
 | 
						|
production work.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Python bindings in particular are not expected to be compatible. When Qt 5
 | 
						|
is enabled, the build system automatically activates Python 3 and PyQt5 as well.
 | 
						|
There are no plugins and not even the python code shipped along the QGIS source
 | 
						|
code is compatible with PyQt5.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You have been warned.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
== On Debian Linux ==
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We assume that you have the source code of QGIS ready and created a new
 | 
						|
subdirectory called `build` or `build-qt5` in it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=== Install build dependencies ===
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apt-get install git build-essential cmake flex bison pyqt5-dev qttools5-dev qtpositioning5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev  libqt5gui5 libqt5scripttools5 qtscript5-dev libqca-qt5-2-dev grass-dev libgeos-dev libgdal-dev libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev libqt5scintilla2-dev pyqt5.qsci-dev python3-pyqt5.qsci libgsl-dev txt2tags libproj-dev libqwt-qt5-dev libspatialindex-dev pyqt5-dev-tools qttools5-dev-tools qt5-default python3-future python3-pyqt5.qtsql python3-psycopg2
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Make sure that your build directory is completely empty when you enter the
 | 
						|
following command. Do never try to "re-use" an existing Qt4 build directory.
 | 
						|
If you want to use `ccmake` or other interactive tools, run the following
 | 
						|
command in the empty build directory once before starting to use the
 | 
						|
interactive tools.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cmake -DENABLE_QT5=ON -DPORT_PLUGINS=ON
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If everything went ok you can finally start to compile. (As usual append a -jX where X is the number of available cores option to make to speed up your build process)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
make
