## License
|
|
|
|
SparkleShare is free software and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 or later. You

|
## Running SparkleShare
|
|
|
|
**Note:** SparkleShare creates its own RSA keypair in `$HOME/.config/sparkleshare/` and uses
|
|
that for authentication. Please mind this if you're planning to set up your
|
|
own server by hand.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
You can choose to build from source or get the packages through your distribution's repositories.
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl
|
|
git >= 1.7.3
|
|
gtk-sharp2
|
|
mono-core >= 2.8
|
|
notify-sharp
|
|
webkit-sharp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Optional:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nautilus-python
|
|
gvfs
|
|
libappindicator
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Mac
|
|
|
|
Download, unzip and open the SparkleShare bundle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Download the installer and run SparkleShare from the start menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building on Linux
|
|
|
|
### Debian or Ubuntu (apt):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install gtk-sharp2 mono-runtime mono-devel monodevelop \
|
|
libndesk-dbus1.0-cil-dev nant libnotify-cil-dev libgtk2.0-cil-dev mono-mcs mono-gmcs \
|
|
libwebkit-cil-dev intltool libtool python-nautilus libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu `libappindicator` support, install the following package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install libappindicator0.1-cil-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Fedora (yum):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo yum install gtk-sharp2-devel mono-core mono-devel monodevelop \
|
|
ndesk-dbus-devel ndesk-dbus-glib-devel nautilus-python-devel nant \
|
|
notify-sharp-devel webkit-sharp-devel webkitgtk-devel libtool intltool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can then build and install SparkleShare like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr (or ./autogen.sh if you build from the repository)
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Use `--prefix=/usr` if you want the Nautilus extension to work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building on Mac
|
|
|
|
Install <tt>Xcode</tt>, the <tt>Mono</tt> Framework, <tt>MonoDevelop</tt> and the <tt>MonoMac</tt> plugin
|
|
(you can find it in <tt>MonoDevelop</tt> => <tt>Add-in Manager</tt>).
|
|
|
|
You may need to adjust some environment variables to let the build environment tools find mono:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin:$PATH
|
|
$ export PKG_CONFIG=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pkg-config
|
|
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install <tt>git</tt>, <tt>automake</tt>, and <tt>intltool</tt> using <tt>MacPorts</tt>:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo port install git-core automake intltool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start the first part of the build:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-gtkui=no
|
|
$ make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now that you have compiled the libraries, open `SparkleShare/Mac/SparkleShare.sln` in
|
|
MonoDevelop and start the build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Mac .app
|
|
|
|
To create the <tt>SparkleShare.app</tt>, make sure the project is focused and select Project from the menu bar
|
|
and click <tt>"Create Mac Installer..."</tt>. Make sure to select <tt>"Don't link assemblies"</tt>.
|
|
|
|
Save the <tt>SparkleShare.app</tt> somewhere. Copy `SparkleShare/Mac/config` to
|
|
`SparkleShare.app/Contents/MonoBundle/config` (adjust the paths to where you saved the .app):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cp SparkleShare/Mac/config SparkleShare.app/Contents/MonoBundle/config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Copy `/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/libintl.dylib` to `SparkleShare.app/Contents/Resources`
|
|
|
|
Now you should have a working bundle that you can run.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building on Windows
|
|
|
|
Install version 4.0 of the [.NET Framework](http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851) if you haven't already.
|
|
|
|
Install [msysGit](http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.8-preview20111206.exe). Change the install location to `C:\msysgit` and use the default settings for the other settings during the installation. Copy the `C:\msysgit` directory into `bin\msysgit` (in the SparkleShare source directory).
|
|
|
|
Open a command prompt and execute the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd C:\path\to\SparkleShare\source
|
|
cd SparkleShare\Windows
|
|
build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`\bin` should now contain `SparkleShare.exe`, which you can run.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** SparkleShare needs to be run with administrator privileges.
|
|
Open the properties dialog for `SparkleShare.exe` and tick
|
|
the *Run this program as an administrator* option in the
|
|
*Compatibility* tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Creating a Windows installer
|
|
|
|
To create an installer package, install [WiX 3.6](http://wix.sourceforge.net/), restart Windows and run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
build installer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will create `SparkleShare.msi` in the same directory.
|
