• Qt (6.5+)
• pkg-config (linux / macOS without contribs)

Optional dependencies:

• libusb and libmtp
• libexif
• ffmpeg (4+)
• MiniVideo (0.14+)

Build dependencies:

• python 3
• cmake
• and a couple others (see contribs/contribs.py)

Building OffloadBuddy

Clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/emericg/OffloadBuddy.git

You can either use the libraries from your system, or use the contribs_builder.py script to build necessary libraries.
You will probably need to use this script, because some libraries aren't widely available in package managers. Also, if you wish to cross compile for Android or iOS, the script will make your life so much easier.

Build dependencies using the contribs_builder.py script (optional):

$ cd OffloadBuddy/contribs/
$ python3 contribs_builder.py

Build OffloadBuddy:

$ cd OffloadBuddy/
$ qmake6 DEFINES+=USE_CONTRIBS CONFIG+=release
$ make
