Building on macOS

Note - If you want to develop Chatterino 2 you will also need to install Qt Creator (make sure to install Qt 5.12 or newer)

  1. Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilites
  2. Start Xcode, settings -> Locations, activate your Command Line Tools
  3. Install brew https://brew.sh/
  4. brew install boost openssl rapidjson
  5. brew install qt
  6. Step 5 should output some directions to add qt to your path, you will need to do this for qmake
  7. Go into project directory
  8. Create build folder mkdir build && cd build
  9. qmake .. && make

If the Project does not build at this point, you might need to add additional Paths/Libs, because brew does not install openssl and boost in the common path. You can get their path using

brew info openssl brew info boost

If brew doesn't link openssl properly then you should be able to link it yourself using those two commands:

  • ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/* /usr/local/lib
  • ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/openssl /usr/local/include/openssl

The lines which you need to add to your project file should look similar to this

INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
