## Building

You need:

* Qt 5.6 alpha
* cmake 3.0 or newer
* ninja is recommended for building

Special Qt requirements:

* On Windows, you must apply ``qt-patches/0003-Always-enable-viewport-stuff.patch``
  for correct window scaling. The patches in ``qt-patches/qt-5.6-alpha/`` fix
  some stability issues.
* On OSX, you should apply ``qt-patches/0002-qtbase-Don-t-show-the-menu-bar-at-all-in-lion-style-fullscr.patch``
  to improve the user experience in fullscreen.
* You can try to use Qt 5.5, but then you also need to apply the following patches:
    - ``qt-patches/0001-qtwebengine-Add-a-backgroundColor-property.patch``
    - ``qt-patches/0004-qtwebengine-transparency-window-creation.patch``

  Without them, video playback will not work.

Get dependencies:

* ``scripts/fetch-binaries.py -p darwin-x86_64``

If you're happy just building from the command line then run CMake for the ninja build tool:

* ``mkdir build ; cd build``
* ``cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output ..``

Build (ninja):

* ``ninja``

Make a distributable package:

* ``ninja install`` (be patient, it's slow)

Or if you prefer working in Xcode, run CMake for the xcode build):

* ``mkdir build ; cd build``
* ``cmake -GXcode -DQTROOT=/path/to/qt ..``
