Universal or not Universal?
If you want to build Mumble as universal binary you will first have to build all dependencies as universal binary.
Dependencies
To build Mumble you will need:
- XCode (http://developer.apple.com/tools/xcode/)
- pkg-config (http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/)
- QT >= 4.3.1 (http://trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/mac)
- Boost (http://www.boost.org/)
- Portaudio (http://www.portaudio.com/)
Compiling pkg-config
This is just a build tool, so you do not have to build it as universal binary. Download and unpack pkg-config.
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/pkgconfig (choose a path you like) export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig ./configure && make && sudo make install
To make the path permanent add the following line to your ~/.profile file:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
Also add a path entry to the pkg-config binary to this file:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
Compiling QT
Download an unpack QT. Run
./configure -universal -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-libpng
in the QT dir. If configure is successful run
make && sudo make install
QT will be installed to /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.X or similar.
To make the QT tools visible add the following line to your ~/.profile file:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.3.X/bin
Compiling Boost
As Mumble only uses some Boost headers you do not have to build/install this. Just unpack Boost.
Compiling Portaudio
This builds universal by default. So just download, unpack and:
./configure && make
For the Mumble build system to find this you will have to modify the included portaudio-2.0.pc.in, rename it to portaudio-2.0.pc and put it in you PKG_CONFIG_PATH. My portaudio-2.0.pc file looks like this:
prefix=/Users/username/Development/portaudio exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${exec_prefix}/include Name: PortAudio Description: Portable audio I/O Requires: Version: 19 Libs: -L${libdir} -lportaudio Cflags: -I${includedir}
Building Mumble
Fetch the Mumble source from SVN. First build speex by changing into the speexbuild subdirectory and running:
qmake speexbuild.pro && make release
After that change to the src/mumble subdirectory. Here you might have to change some parameters in mumble.pro, so open it in a text editor. Change the path in the line:
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include/boost-1_34/
to the path where your boost headers are located.
then run:
qmake mumble.pro && make release
If everything went well, you should now have a Mumble.app application bundle in the release directory of the root of the source tree.
Distributing Mumble
If you wish to create a proper redistributable Mumble application bundle, please refer to the osxdist.sh script in the scripts directory. This will help you clean up your application bundle, include the needed dependencies, resources etc., and create a compressed disk image - ready to redistribute!
The script expects you to be in the root of the source tree. After executing, it will spit out a .dmg of your Mumble build in the release folder.
Please note that the script currently is tuned for creating real redistributable versions of Mumble, and as such only works on universal (x86, ppc) release builds!
