Tuxboot Modify from UNetbootin Revision 485 Homepage at http://tuxboot.sourceforge.net Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 and above, components from other projects are licensed under their respective licenses UNetbootin Source Revision 485 Copyright Geza Kovacs Homepage at http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net Licensed under the GNU GPL v2 and above, components from other projects are licensed under their respective licenses Build generated on Sun Jun 20 15:52:33 PDT 2010 See http://tuxboot.wiki.sourceforge.net/compile for build instructions Building a Dynamically Linked Version Dynamically linked builds are most useful for packaging into Linux distributions. If you are attempting to standalone version for deployment on Windows, go to the statically linked section. Prerequisites Latest "clean" tarball at http://tuxboot.sourceforge.net/tuxboot-source-clean-latest.tar.gz libqt4-dev g++ Instructions 1. Extract the tarball and cd to it 2. Run either the "INSTALL" script, or the following commands: sed -i '/^RESOURCES/d' tuxboot.pro lupdate-qt4 tuxboot.pro lrelease-qt4 tuxboot.pro qmake-qt4 "DEFINES += NOSTATIC" "RESOURCES -= tuxboot.qrc" make 3. A dynamically linked executable which you can package will then be generated at "tuxboot" 4. If building a package, place the tuxboot_*.qm files in the /usr/share/tuxboot/ directory to enable the usage of localization. 5. If building a package, add "syslinux", "p7zip-full", "libqt4-core" (libQtCore.so.4), "libqt4-gui" (libQtGui.so.4), and "libqt4-network" (libQtNetwork.so.4) as dependencies. Building a Statically Linked Version Statically linked builds are most useful for standalone deployment, not packaging. They are the type that is available for download on the website. Build System I build on Ubuntu with g++ and mingw32, though it should work on other distributions as well. Prerequisites Latest source zip package at http://tuxboot.sourceforge.net/tuxboot-source-latest.zip libqt4-dev mingw32 g++ Instructions (Simple) These instructions use pre-compiled versions of static Qt4 for Windows and Linux. If you'd like to build statically linked versions of Qt4 yourself, use the manual instructions instead. 1. Go to http://launchpad.net/tuxboot/+download and download these files: qt4-win.7z http://launchpad.net/tuxboot/trunk/trunk/+download/qt4-win.7z qt4-x11-glibc23.7z http://launchpad.net/tuxboot/trunk/trunk/+download/qt4-x11-glibc23.7z Or if you can handle a GLIBC 2.4 dependency: qt4-x11.7z http://launchpad.net/tuxboot/trunk/trunk/+download/qt4-x11.7z 2. Extract those files using 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ or p7zip-full on Linux, to get the directories "qt4-win" and "qt4-x11" 3. Move the qt4-win and qt4-x11 directories into the tuxboot build directory (the same directory containing the files tuxboot.cpp and tuxboot.pro, which is src/tuxboot in the repository). 4. cd to the tuxboot build directory, and run the script "./build" 5. Statically linked tuxboot binaries should be generated in the release subdirectory. Instructions (Manual) 1) Build a statically linked Qt4 for Windows (instructions from http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/deployment-windows.html#static-linking and http://qtnode.net/wiki?title=Building_static ) cd C:\Qt4 configure -static make sub-src 2) Set up cross-compile environment (instructions from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_MinGW_and_Qt4 ) If cross-compiling on Ubuntu, simply copy the file qmake-qt4.conf to /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/win32-g++/qmake-qt4.conf 3) Copy over your statically linked Windows qt4 install directory to /usr/$(ls /usr/ | grep mingw32 | head --lines 1)/Qt/ 4) Go to the directory containing the source files (tuxboot.cpp, main.cpp, tuxboot.pro, etc.), and run "./build" to automate steps 4 and 5, or to do it manually, run the following commands: qmake -spec win32-g++ "RESOURCES += tuxboot-windows.qrc" "RC_FILE += ubnembed.rc" "QMAKE_LFLAGS += -Wl,-subsystem,windows" make 5) You should now have a Windows .exe file at release/tuxboot.exe To reduce file size, compress the executable using upx ( http://upx.sourceforge.net/ ) ./upx --lzma ./tuxboot.exe rsync -e ssh release/* thomas_tsai,tuxboot@frs.sourceforge.net:/home/frs/project/t/tu/tuxboot/`date +%G%m%d`/ git archive --format=tar --prefix=tuxboot-$ver/ HEAD | gzip > ../tuxboot-$ver.tar.gz
