How to build sni qt

If you're not using an Debian based distro, the best way to install the patched version of sni-qt is by building it from source code.

Dependencies

• cmake
• build-essential
• qt4-default
  • qt-devel package in Fedora
• dbusmenu-qt
  
  • libdbusmenu-qt-dev package in Ubuntu
  • dbusmenu-qt-devel package in Fedora

How to build

1. Install bzr
2. Clone the branch bzr branch lp:~cybre/elementary+/sni-qt-patched
3. Use terminal to go the cloned directory cd ./sni-qt-patched
4. Type in your terminal cmake ./
5. And afterwards make
6. sudo make install

In order to compile a 32 bits version of sni-qt you will need to install a 32 bits version of qt4-default, dbusmenu-qtand gcc.

1. Clone the branch in a new folder bzr branch lp:~cybre/elementary+/sni-qt-patched
2. Create a build folder using mkdir build && cd ./build
3. Execute those commands one after an other to compile a 32 bits version of the code

     export CC="gcc -m32"
     export CXX="g++ -m32"
     export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32/pkgconfig
     export CFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags QtCore) ${CFLAGS}"
     export CXXFLAGS="$(pkg-config --cflags QtCore) ${CXXFLAGS}"
     

4. Type in your terminal

cmake ../sni-qt-patched -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DQT_PLUGINS_DIR=/usr/lib32/qt/plugins

5. make && sudo make install

And voilá! You've built and installed the patched version of Sni-Qt, if you've any issue with that you can open a new issue here.
