Dependencies

The compilation requires libsodium >= 1.0.9.
The optional GUI needs Qt 5.

Installation of the source package

  1. tar xjf mikrolock-x.x.tar.bz2
  2. cd mikrolock-x.x
  3. make help
  4. make
    make gui (optional, to compile the Qt GUI)
  5. make install
    (depending on the installation target you'll need root privileges)
  6. make clean (optional)

Installation on OpenSUSE

If you get a linker error (cannot find -lGL) please see this ticket.

Installation instructions for Windows

Start setup program and follow the instructions.

Compilation instructions for Windows

a) Install Qt Creator IDE (www.qt.io)

b) Install MingW (gcc toolchain)

    -Download Online-Installer: 
    -Start mingw-w64-install.exe and select default options
	 (compilation of 64 bit libs and applications requires extra steps later, marked by *64*)
    -Add bin directory of the downloaded files to the system PATH
    -open cmd.exe and type "g++ --version" to check

c) Compile Qt:

    -Download and extract package from qt.io -> qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.0.tar.gz
    -Open cmd.exe and change into the Qt directory
    -Configure Qt. Use static if you do not want to ship Qt DLLs:
     configure -release -opensource -confirm-license -static  -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg \
	           -qt-freetype -qt-sql-sqlite -no-openssl -nomake examples -opengl  desktop
    -Compile Qt:
     mingw32-make -k -j4

d) Add compiler and Qt paths (location of qmake.exe) in QtCreator

e)  *64*: -open qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.7.0\qtwinextras and compile the winextras module
          -edit additional include path for winextras in the mlock-gui pro file
		  
f) Install libsodium:

   - Download Mingw package -> libsodium-1.0.10-mingw.tar.gz
     Extract the header files, libs and DLLs of libsodium-win32  (*64*: libsodium-win64).

g) Install upx

h) Open the pro files in src/w32-projects and src/gui/qt-widgets/mlock-gui/ in 
   QtCreator and adjust the paths of libraries and tools. Assign the kit config to the projects.
   Compile the lib project first.

i) Ship mikrolock with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (32 bit) libgcc_s_seh-1.dll (*64* bit)  libstdc++-6.dll libwinpthread-1.dll
   (these are located in the mingw32 installation) and the libsodium DLL.
