Building

This page will provide a common instruction-set along with screenshots to help you build APK Studio from source code. These steps & screenshots were recorded on KDE Linux distribution. However, not much of these will differ for any other Qt supported platform.

Building (Linux)

• Make sure you have GCC 4.6+, QT 5.2+

   sudo apt-get install qt5-default qt4-linguist-tools qt5-qmake qttools5-dev build-essential

• Run below commands in a writable directory

   git clone https://github.com/surendrajat/apkstudio.git
   cd apkstudio
   lrelease res/lang/en.ts
   qmake apkstudio.pro CONFIG+=release
   # {IF} On KDE 5.x
   export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -DNO_NATIVE_DIALOG"
   # {/IF}
   make

• If build was successful you will find apkstudio executable in same directory. You can run it using ./apkstudio

Building with Qt Creator

1. First off, if you do not have Qt 5 installed, download it from here and then Install it.

2. Download or Clone the source code from Github repository as follows:

   git clone https://github.com/surendrajat/apkstudio

3. Fire up Qt Creator and click on Open Project as shown below.

   

4. Navigate to the directory where you cloned or extracted APK Studio source and select apkstudio.pro file.

   

5. You can select your Toolchain (Kits) or leave them default. Change your build output folder (if needed) and click Configure Project.

   

6. Change you build configuration from Debug to Release.

   

7. From the Main Menu, navigate to Tools > External > Linguist > Release Translations (lrelease) to compile language file(s).

   

8. From the Main Menu, select to Build > Build All.

   

9. Wait for the compilation to complete.

   

10. Click on Run from the bottom-left of the Qt Creator and APK Studio should launch now.
