About this Project

This is the GUI for the core Geldum implementation. It is open source and completely free to use without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Geldum that uses the protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the "staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that branch on the main repository, they are tested by individual developers in their own branches. It is generally a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Supporting the Project

Geldum development can be supported directly through donations. If you want to Donate, just join either our Discord Channel (http://discord.gg/vBjwx6J) or Telegram Group (http://t.me/geldum)

  1. Build the GUI
  • For Ubuntu and Mint

    ./build.sh

  • For Gentoo

    QT_SELECT=5 ./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

On OS X:

  1. Install Xcode from AppStore
  2. Install homebrew
  3. Install geldum dependencies:

brew install boost --c++11

brew install openssl - to install openssl headers

brew install pkgconfig

brew install cmake

brew install qt5 (or download QT 5.8+ from qt.io)

If you have an older version of Qt installed via homebrew, you can force it to use 5.x like so:

brew link --force --overwrite qt5

  1. Add the Qt bin directory to your path

    Example: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/bin

    This is the directory where Qt 5.x is installed on your system

  2. Grab an up-to-date copy of the geldum repository

git clone https://github.com/geldumproject/geldum-gui.git

  1. Go into the repository

cd geldum-gui

  1. Start the build

./build.sh

The executable can be found in the build/release/bin folder.

Note: Workaround for "ERROR: Xcode not set up properly"

Edit $HOME/Qt/5.8/clang_64/mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf

replace isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun 2>/dev/null")))

with isEmpty($$list($$system("/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcodebuild 2>/dev/null")))

On Windows:

  1. Install msys2, follow the instructions on that page on how to update packages to the latest versions

  2. Install geldum dependencies as described in geldum documentation into msys2 environment As we only build application for x86, install only dependencies for x86 architecture (i686 in package name)

    pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost
    
    
  3. Install git into msys2 environment

    pacman -S git
    
  4. Install Qt5 from official site

    • download unified installer, run and select following options:
      • Qt > Qt 5.7 > MinGW 5.3.0 32 bit
      • Tools > MinGW 5.3.0
    • continue with installation
  5. Open MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell shell

    %MSYS_ROOT%\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw32

    Where %MSYS_ROOT% will be c:\msys32 if your host OS is x86-based or c:\msys64 if your host OS is x64-based

  6. Install the latest version of boost, specificly the required static libraries

    cd
    wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
    tar xjf boost_1_63_0.tar.bz2
    cd boost_1_63_0
    ./bootstrap.sh mingw
    ./b2 --prefix=/mingw32/boost --layout=tagged --without-mpi --without-python toolset=gcc address-model=32 variant=debug,release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static -j$(nproc) install
    
  7. Clone repository

    cd
    git clone https://github.com/geldumproject/geldum-gui.git
    
  8. Build the GUI

    cd geldum-gui
    export PATH=$(ls -rd /c/Qt/5.[6,7,8]/mingw53_32/bin | head -1):$PATH
    ./build.sh
    cd build
    make deploy
    

The executable can be found in the .\release\bin directory.
