0041 <h1>Preface</h1>
0042 <p>This document contains instructions on how to build and package ROSA ImageWriter (further referred to as <i>RIW</i>) as portable application.</p>
0043 <p>Generally, the process looks like this:</p>
0044 <ol>
0045   <li>Compile Qt from sources with static linking.</li>
0046   <li>Build RIW using this Qt version, thus having a single executable binary.</li>
0047   <li>Build the RIW translation files from TS sources.</li>
0048   <li>Put these translations into the <code>lang</code> subdirectory near the RIW executable.</li>
0049   <li>Also copy the same languages from Qt translations into <code>lang</code>.</li>
0050   <li>Add the <code>LICENSE.html</code> and <code>README.html</code> files.</li>
0051   <li>Package the result into appropriate distributable archive.</li>
0052 </ol>
0053 <p>However, some actions may differ depending on the operating system you are working with. Refer to one of the following sections for details.</p>
0054 
0055 <h2>Windows</h2>
0056 <p>This scenario was tested under Windows 7 SP1 Pro x64, using SDK from Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3.</p>
0057 <h3>Configuring and building Qt</h3>
0058 <p>Here we suppose that the following paths are used:</p>
0059 <table class="collapsed">
0060   <tr><td>Qt sources:</td><td class="code">C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1-src\</td></tr>
0061   <tr><td>Qt build directory:</td><td class="code">C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1-build\</td></tr>
0062   <tr><td>Qt installation directory:</td><td class="code">C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1\</td></tr>
0063 </table>
0064 <p>From further on we will omit the prefix <code>C:\Programs\Qt-static\</code>.</p>
0065 <ol>
0066   <!--li>Since Qt 5.5 there is a configure option -static-runtime which makes msvcrt linked statically. For the former Qt versions, special compiler flags are required for that (otherwise, the binary will require <code>msvcrNNN.dll</code> and <code>msvcpNNN.dll</code> which may not be present on all systems). Open the file <code>5.x.y-src\qtbase\mkspecs\win32-msvc2013\qmake.conf</code> and replace the <code>-MD</code> and <code>-MDd</code> flags with <code>-MT</code> and <code>-MTd</code>, respectively (there should be 3 instances). If you are using different version of Visual Studio/SDK, use the file from the correct toolchain subdirectory (e.g. <code>win32-msvc2010</code> for VS2010).</li-->
0067   <li>Open the 32-bit SDK command prompt, change directory to <code>5.6.1-build\</code>.</li>
0068   <li>
0069     Configure the Qt. For decreasing RIW executable size and speed up Qt build process, we recommend to turn off all unused features and modules. The following command can be used:<br/>
0070     <div class="code">..\5.6.1-src\configure -prefix C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1 -opensource -confirm-license -release -static -static-runtime -target xp -qmake -gui -widgets -accessibility -no-angle -no-audio-backend -no-dbus -no-direct2d -no-directwrite -no-evdev -no-eventfd -no-fontconfig -no-freetype -no-gif -no-harfbuzz -no-iconv -no-icu -no-inotify -largefile -no-libjpeg -qt-libpng -mp -no-mtdev -no-native-gestures -no-nis -no-opengl -no-openssl -no-openvg -qt-pcre -no-plugin-manifests -no-qml-debug -qreal double -rtti -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-oci -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-tds -no-ssl -strip -no-style-fusion -qt-style-windows -qt-style-windowsxp -qt-style-windowsvista -no-system-proxies -no-use-gold-linker -warnings-are-errors -no-wmf-backend -qt-zlib -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtdoc -skip qtlocation -skip qtmacextras -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtx11extras -skip qtxmlpatterns</div>
0071   </li>
0072   <li>When configuring completes, check carefully the status information. Particularly, make sure that correct toolchain is used, otherwise you'll have to specify the toolchain manually (using the <code>QMAKESPEC</code> variable) and reconfigure Qt.</li>
0073   <li>Now run <code>nmake</code> and then <code>nmake install</code>.</li>
0074   <li>
0075     Add Qt binaries path to the environment variable PATH:<br/>
0076     <div class="code">set PATH=C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1\bin;%PATH%</div>
0077   </li>
0078 </ol>
0079 <h3>Building RIW</h3>
0080 <p>Now we can build RIW. It is better to do it in a separate subdirectory to avoid polluting the sources with temporary files.</p>
0081 <ol>
0082   <li>Create a new directory and go there. Here we suppose that it is subdirectory <code>build\</code> in RIW sources.</li>
0083   <li>
0084     Run the commands:<br/>
0085     <div class="code">
0086       qmake ..\RosaImageWriter.pro<br/>
0087       nmake Release<br/>
0088       lrelease ..\RosaImageWriter.pro
0089     </div>
0090   </li>
0091   <li>If you have digital certificate you can sign the executable file <code>release\RosaImageWriter.exe</code> to allow validation and improve Windows UAC prompt displayed when RIW is started.</li>
0092   <li>
0093     All files are now ready, we can package them:<br/>
0094     <div class="code">
0095       mkdir pkg\RosaImageWriter\lang<br/>
0096       copy release\RosaImageWriter.exe pkg\RosaImageWriter\<br/>
0097       copy ..\doc\README.html pkg\RosaImageWriter\<br/>
0098       copy ..\doc\LICENSE.html pkg\RosaImageWriter\<br/>
0099       copy ..\lang\*.qm pkg\RosaImageWriter\lang\<br/>
0100       copy C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1\translations\qtbase_ru.qm pkg\RosaImageWriter\lang\<br/>
0101       copy C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1\translations\qtbase_de.qm pkg\RosaImageWriter\lang\<br/>
0102       copy C:\Programs\Qt-static\5.6.1\translations\qtbase_fr.qm pkg\RosaImageWriter\lang\<br/>
0103       cd pkg<br/>
0104       7z a RosaImageWriter-win.zip RosaImageWriter
0105     </div><br/>
0106     Please, keep in mind that if new RIW translations appear, the commands given above should be amended to also include Qt translations on the same languages. If translation is split into separate files you need only the <code>qtbase_xx.qm</code> file, otherwise get the main <code>qt_xx.qm</code> file.<br/>
0107     The last command uses 7-Zip archiver to create ZIP archive; you can use any other tool for that purpose. ZIP format is recommended for distributing the application: though it is not the best one in terms of compression, it's supported by all decompressors and even by Windows itself, so users will have no trouble unpacking it.
0108   </li>
0109   <li>The file <code>RosaImageWriter-win.zip</code> is ready for publishing.</li>
0110 </ol>
0111 
0112 <h2>Linux</h2>
0113 <p>This scenario was tested under ROSA Desktop Fresh R5 i586 and x86_64, using gcc 4.9.2.</p>
0114 <h3>Configuring and building Qt</h3>
0115 <p>Here we suppose that the following paths are used:</p>
0116 <table class="collapsed">
0117   <tr><td>Qt sources:</td><td class="code">~/Qt-static/5.6.1-src/</td></tr>
0118   <tr><td>Qt build directory:</td><td class="code">~/Qt-static/5.6.1-build/</td></tr>
0119   <tr><td>Qt installation directory:</td><td class="code">~/Qt-static/5.6.1/</td></tr>
0120 </table>
0121 <p>From further on we will omit the prefix <code>~/Qt-static/</code>.</p>
0122 <ol>
0123   <li>
0124     First, you might want to fix the default build flags. There are two issues in sight:
0125     <ul>
0126       <li>Some debug information remains in the executables even with debug options turned off and executable stripped.</li>
0127       <li><code>libstdc++</code> library uses symbol versions massively. So, the executable we get may not run on a different operating system because of the version mismatch. If you want to avoid this you can use static linking for <code>libstdc++</code>. Of course, you'll need a static version of it (e.g. in ROSA the package <code>libstdc++-static-devel</code> or <code>lib64stdc++-static-devel</code> should be installed).</li>
0128     </ul>
0129     To fix these two issues, open the file <code>5.6.1-src/qtbase/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf</code> and add the following directives to the end of the file:<br/>
0130     <div class="code">
0131       QMAKE_CFLAGS += -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables<br/>
0132       QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables<br/>
0133       QMAKE_LFLAGS += -static-libstdc++
0134     </div>
0135   </li>
0136   <li>Now, open terminal, change directory to <code>5.6.1-build/</code>.</li>
0137   <li>
0138     Configure the Qt. For decreasing RIW executable size and speed up Qt build process, we recommend to turn off all unused features and modules. The following command can be used:<br/>
0139     <div class="code">../5.6.1-src/configure -prefix ~/Qt-static/5.6.1 -opensource -confirm-license -release -static -optimized-qmake -gui -widgets -accessibility -no-alsa -no-cups -no-dbus -no-directfb -no-eglfs -no-evdev -fontconfig -qt-freetype -no-gif -no-glib -no-gtkstyle -qt-harfbuzz -no-iconv -no-icu -no-journald -no-kms -largefile -no-libjpeg -qt-libpng -no-linuxfb -no-mtdev -no-nis -no-opengl -no-openssl -no-pch -qt-pcre -no-pkg-config -no-pulseaudio -no-qml-debug -qreal double -reduce-relocations -no-rpath -no-sql-db2 -no-sql-ibase -no-sql-mysql -no-sql-oci -no-sql-odbc -no-sql-psql -no-sql-sqlite -no-sql-sqlite2 -no-sql-tds -strip -no-system-proxies -use-gold-linker -no-warnings-are-errors -xcb -qt-xcb -no-xcb-xlib -xinput2 -qt-xkbcommon -qt-zlib -nomake examples -nomake tests -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtandroidextras -skip qtconnectivity -skip qtdeclarative -skip qtdoc -skip qtlocation -skip qtmacextras -skip qtmultimedia -skip qtquickcontrols -skip qtquickcontrols2 -skip qtscript -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtserialport -skip qtwayland -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebsockets -skip qtwebview -skip qtwinextras -skip qtxmlpatterns -no-libudev</div>
0140   </li>
0141   <li>When configuring completes, check carefully the status information. Particularly, make sure that correct toolchain is used, otherwise you'll have to specify the toolchain manually (using the <code>QMAKESPEC</code> variable) and reconfigure Qt.</li>
0142   <li>Now run <code>make</code> and then <code>make install</code>.</li>
0143   <li>
0144     Add Qt binaries path to the environment variable PATH:<br/>
0145     <div class="code">export PATH=~/Qt-static/5.6.1/bin:$PATH</div>
0146   </li>
0147 </ol>
0148 <h3>Building RIW</h3>
0149 <p>Now we can build RIW. It is better to do it in a separate subdirectory to avoid polluting the sources with temporary files.</p>
0150 <ol>
0151   <li>Create a new directory and go there. Here we suppose that it is subdirectory <code>build/</code> in RIW sources.</li>
0152   <li>
0153     Run the commands:<br/>

0156       make<br/>
0157       lrelease ../RosaImageWriter.pro
0158     </div>
0159   </li>
0160   <li>
0161     All files are now ready, we can package them:<br/>
0162     <div class="code">
0163       mkdir -p pkg/RosaImageWriter/lang<br/>
0164       cp RosaImageWriter ../doc/README.html ../doc/LICENSE.html pkg/RosaImageWriter/<br/>
0165       cp ../lang/*.qm ~/Qt-static/5.6.1/translations/{qtbase_ru,qtbase_de,qtbase_fr}.qm pkg/RosaImageWriter/lang/<br/>
0166       cd pkg<br/>
0167       tar cJf RosaImageWriter-lin.tar.xz RosaImageWriter

0174 <h2>Mac OS X</h2>
0175 <p>This scenario was tested under OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion with Xcode 5.1.1, and OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite with Xcode 6.4.</p>

0182 </table>
0183 <p>From further on we will omit the prefix <code>~/Qt-static/</code>.</p>
0184 <ol>
0185   <li>If you installed Xcode first time you need to start it and accept the license agreement. Otherwise command-line build tools will not work.</li>
0186   <li>Open terminal, change directory to <code>5.6.1-build/</code>.</li>
0187   <li>
0188     Configure the Qt. For decreasing RIW executable size and speed up Qt build process, we recommend to turn off all unused features and modules. The following command can be used:<br/>
