X2Go - everywhere@home

Create a folder somewhere, whatever you prefer, but I would recommend to keep all the code in the same place. For example create one in you home directory

mkdir -p ~/code/x2go && cd ~/code/x2go

First, you have to get the sources. There is already a “ready to clone” snippet here, to be pasted in any bash terminal.

You should now have cloned all repositories actually shown at the gitweb here.

Install the following packages for development (Debian/Ubuntu based distro):

Note: Some packages are optional.

sudo apt-get install build-essential qt4-default qt4-designer qtcreator qtcreator-doc \
                     qt4-demos qt4-doc qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev git \
                     libldap2-dev libssh-dev libxpm-dev libcups2-dev \
                     debhelper doxygen man2html-base xutils-dev libpixman-1-dev\
                     devscripts quilt libxcomposite-dev libxrandr-dev\
                     libxtst-dev libxinerama-dev libxrender-dev pkg-config expat\
                     libxmltok1-dev libxml2-dev libxfont-dev

All up-to-date dependencies you can get with dpkg-checkbuilddeps command.

Before you build, consider this: when you're on the master branch, you're on the bleeding edge. This could contain any sort of errors or experimental code. Have a look at the available tags:

git tag

Also, you might want to have in mind, that the actual build is based on the branch build-main. Have a look at what's there with

git branch <TAB><TAB>

Change to the branch or tag of project you want to build and build the project with:

debuild -us -uc
