Compiler. + +All version of FBReader are configured for building on linux desktop +computer. You need gcc compiler for building desktop version or cross +gcc compiler for building package for another platform. + +2. Libraries. + +FBReader requires + ** expat -- library for XML parsing. AFAIK, all popular destributions + includes package with name like 'expat-dev' or 'libexpat-dev'. + If you cannot find expat in your distribution, please visit + http://expat.sourceforge.net + ** libz and libbz2 -- libraries for zip and bzip2 (de)compression + ** UI library -- this depends on your target platform. For desktop, + Qt library, version 3.* or 4.* + OR + GTK+ library, version >= 2.4 + should be installed + ** libunibreak (http://vimgadgets.cvs.sourceforge.net/vimgadgets/common/tools/linebreak/) -- library for line breaking in a Unicode sequence + ** libfribidi -- for bidirectional text support + ** libcurl, version >= 7.17 -- for network libraries integration + ** libsqlite3 + ** for win32 version, we use also libpng, libungif, libjpeg and libtiff + +3. How to configure. + +Before building FBReader, you should check (and maybe edit) 2 files: + ** makefiles/target.mk + In this file you should define 3 variables: + TARGET_ARCH -- target platform for building FBReader + UI_TYPE -- UI library + TARGET_STATUS -- "release", "debug" or "profile". "release" is + reasonable choice for almost all users. + + Possible pairs for TARGET_ARCH + UI_TYPE are: + TARGET_ARCH = desktop UI_TYPE = gtk + TARGET_ARCH = desktop UI_TYPE = qt + TARGET_ARCH = desktop UI_TYPE = qt4 + TARGET_ARCH = pepperpad3 UI_TYPE = gtk + TARGET_ARCH = zaurus UI_TYPE = qtopia-240x320 + TARGET_ARCH = zaurus UI_TYPE = qtopia-640x480 + TARGET_ARCH = openzaurus UI_TYPE = opie + TARGET_ARCH = openzaurus UI_TYPE = gpe + TARGET_ARCH = pdaxrom UI_TYPE = gtk + TARGET_ARCH = pdaxrom UI_TYPE = qt + TARGET_ARCH = opensimpad-0.9.0 UI_TYPE = opie + TARGET_ARCH = maemo UI_TYPE = maemo2 + TARGET_ARCH = maemo UI_TYPE = maemo4 + TARGET_ARCH = pma400 UI_TYPE = qtopia + TARGET_ARCH = moto UI_TYPE = ezx + TARGET_ARCH = win32 UI_TYPE = win32 + TARGET_ARCH = macosx UI_TYPE = cocoa + + ** makefiles/arch/$(TARGET_ARCH).mk + This file defines compiler name and location, headers and libraries + locations, compilation flags, installation path (for desktop), etc. + +4. How to build. + +Just type 'make' in FBReader root directory. (FBReader root directory == +directory containing this file.) + +5. How to install. + +If you want to install FBReader on your desktop computer, just run 'make install' +as root in FBReader root directory. + +If you want to create package for another platform, run 'make packages' in +FBReader root directory. |
