Chatterino 2
============
Chatterino 2 is the second installment of the Twitch chat client series "Chatterino". For now you can check out Chatterino 1 at [https://chatterino.com](https://chatterino.com).
## Code style
The code is normally formated using clang format in Qt Creator. [.clang-format](https://github.com/fourtf/chatterino2/blob/master/.clang-format) contains the style file for clang format.
To setup automatic code formating with QT Creator, see [this guide](https://gist.github.com/pajlada/0296454198eb8f8789fd6fe7ea660c5b).
## Building
Before building run `git submodule update --init --recursive` to get required submodules.
### Windows
#### Using Qt Creator
##### Visual Studio 2017
Install Visual Studio 2017 and select "Desktop development with C++" and "Universal Windows Platform development.
download the [boost library](https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0.zip/download) and extract it to `C:\local\boost`
##### open-ssl
1. download binaries for OpenSSL >= 1.0.2 or compile it from source. [example download](https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/)
2. Place libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from OpenSSL in a directory in PATH.
#### Using MSYS2
Building using MSYS2 can be quite easier process. Check out MSYS2 at [msys2.org](http://www.msys2.org/).
Be sure to add "-j <number of threads\>" as a make argument so it will use all your cpu cores to build. [example setup](https://i.imgur.com/qlESlS1.png)
You can also add "-o2" to optimize the final binary size but increase compilation time, and add "-pipe" to use more ram in compilation but increase compilation speed
1. open appropriate MSYS2 terminal and do `pacman -S mingw-w64-<arch>-boost mingw-w64-<arch>-qt5 mingw-w64-<arch>-rapidjson` where `<arch>` is x86_64 or i686
2. go into the project directory
3. create build folder `mkdir build && cd build`
4. `qmake .. && mingw32-make`
###
### Linux
#### Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
*most likely works the same for other Debian-like distros*
1. install QT Creator `sudo apt-get install qtcreator qtmultimedia5-dev`
2. install boost-dev `sudo apt-get install libboost-dev`
3. open `chatterino.pro` with QT Creator and build
#### Ubuntu 18.04
*most likely works the same for other Debian-like distros*
1. Install dependencies (and the C++ IDE Qt Creator) `sudo apt install qtcreator qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libboost-dev`
2. Install rapidjson to `/usr/local/` like this: From the Chatterino2 root folder: `sudo cp -r lib/rapidjson/include/rapidjson /usr/local/include`. If you want to install it to another place, you have to make sure it's in the chatterino.pro include path
3. open `chatterino.pro` with QT Creator and build
#### Arch Linux
install [chatterino2-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chatterino2-git/) from the aur or build manually as follows:
1. `sudo pacman -S qt5-base qt5-multimedia gst-plugins-ugly gst-plugins-good boost rapidjson`
2. go into project directory
3. create build folder `mkdir build && cd build`
4. `qmake .. && make`
### Mac OSX
1. install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilites
2. install Qt Creator
3. install brew https://brew.sh/
4. `brew install boost openssl rapidjson`
5. build the project using Qt Creator
