====================================
Instructions for building Deluge.app
====================================
1. Compiler
-----------
- To build deluge and the gtk osx modules, you must use `gcc`
- This has been successfully working with :
- gcc 4.2.1 - Xcode 4.1 - Mac OSX Lion (10.7.2)
- llvm-gcc 4.2.1 - Xcode 4.3.1 (With Command line utilities) - Mac OSX Lion (10.7.3)
- Check your version of gcc using `gcc -v`
2. GTK-OSX jhbuild environment
------------------------------
Quick how-to *(from the full GTK-OSX building instructions)* [1]_, [2]_
a. Create a dedicated user account and use it for all the next steps::
sudo su - gtk
cat << EOF > ~/.profile
export PATH=~/.local/bin:~/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/git/bin
EOF
. ~/.profile
*Note*: I'm using `gtk` login with `/opt/gtk` as home an jhbuild prefix.
b. Download and run the gtk-osx-build-setup [3]_ script to install jhbuild::
curl -O https://raw.github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/master/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
sh gtk-osx-build-setup.sh
c. Link or copy deluge osx jhbuildrc-custom::
ln -sf deluge/osx/jhbuildrc-custom ~/.jhbuildrc-custom
*Note*: This setup builds only for `x86_64` arch to `/opt/gtk` prefix, feel free to edit.
d. Build jhbuild and its modulesets: *(takes a while...)*::
jhbuild bootstrap && jhbuild
*Note*: If you encounter an error while building `glib` like::
gconvert.c:65:2: error: #error GNU libiconv not in use but included iconv.h is from libiconv
Start a shell from jhbuild, edit the file `vim glib/gconvert.c +65` to delete the
section raising error, which is irrelevant. *(Lion iconv.h looks like gnu one, but it is not)*
Then exit the shell and resume build.
5. Build the deluge moduleset: *(takes a while...)*::
jhbuild -m deluge/osx/deluge.modules build deluge
*Note*: This jhbuild moduleset *should* build and install all deluge dependencies not available in gtk-osx.
3. Build Deluge.app
-------------------
a. Always do your custom build operations under a jhbuild shell::
jhbuild shell
b. Cleanup::
python setup.py clean -a
c. Build and install::
python setup.py py2app
python setup.py install
d. Build app to `deluge/osx/app/Deluge.app`::
cd osx
./make-app
You *should* now have a working Deluge.app
i386 Notes
----------
- Uncomment the relevant sections of :
- jhbuildrc-custom
- deluge.modules
- setup.cfg
- deluge egg has to be named without the -macosx-10.6-intel suffix
- To build for i386 under a x64 arch libtorrent python bindings have to be
patched manually to set correct arch see macports package patch
Issues
------
If Deluge.app doesn't work or crash the first thing to do is to check OSX
Console for logs and/or crash reports.
You can enable logging by passing the usual log command switches via console::
/Applications/Deluge.app/Contents/MacOS/Deluge -L debug -l debug.log
Recent jhbuild issues:
- Some jhbuild modules fails to build, freetype and gtk-mac-integration,
strangely configure is not called before build/install.
- If that happens, just force rebuild with something like:
jhbuild build -cf gtk-mac-integration-python
- Interrupt while building with Ctrl+C and wipe to start over if configure missing
Known issues
------------
- **i386**: libtorrent crash
- **i18n**: English only for now
- **Magnet URLs**: Not currently supported by GTK-OSX
