You can download the source from the source archives or from GitHub
You must run the following command to download submodules if you have downloaded the source using Git:
git submodule update --init
If you are running a Debian-based system (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.) then run the following command to install Signet’s build dependencies
sudo apt-get install qt5-default libqt5websockets5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev libgcrypt20-dev zlib1g-dev libx11-dev
If you are not on a Debian based system, build or install the equivalent libraries for Qt5 (with Websockets and x11extras), zlib, libX11, and libgcrypt.
To build simply run qmake and then make:
qmake client/client.pro
make
make will create a signet binary that you can move elsewhere.
You will need to install Signet’s udev rule before the client will work. You can find the udev rule in signet-base/signetdev/host/linux/50-signet.rules. Use sudo to copy it to /etc/udev/rules.d:
sudo cp signet-base/signetdev/host/linux/50-signet.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
To install Signet’s build dependencies first install Brew
Once you have Brew, run:
brew install qt5 libgcrypt libgpg-error zlib
To build Signet run:
/usr/local/opt/qt5/bin/qmake client/client.pro
make
The build will create a signet.app folder that you can move or copy anywhere. For example:
cp -r signet.app ~/Desktop
First install MSYS2. MSYS2 will provide a build environment and a package manager to download Signet’s dependencies. Once MSYS2 is installed, launch the MSYS2/MinGW-64 shell and run:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib mingw-w64-x86_64-libgcrypt mingw-w64-x86_64-jasper mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-dbus mingw-w64-x86_64-libwebp
Now you can build:
export PATH=/mingw64/qt5-static/bin:$PATH
qmake client/client.pro CONFIG+=release
mingw32-make
This will build Signet.exe in the release subdirectory. This executable should be self contained and you can copy it anywhere and run it.
