How to build yourself

Mar 26

For my install, I am installing all my files into the directory: d:\coding. You can use any directory structure you like, you’ll just have to change paths. Just ensure that any folder path you use does not have a space in it.

Download the NSI installer application. I use the Portable Apps version from:
http://portableapps.com/apps/development/nsis_portable
– Install in D:\Coding\NSISPortable\

Download Qt SDK from:
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp
(File I am using is qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.02.1.exe)
– Install in D:\Coding\Qt

Download latest Boost from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/
(File I am using is boost_1_42_0.zip)
– Install in D:\Coding\Boost

Download the D2XX drivers:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm
(File I am using is: CDM 202.06.00 WHQL Certified.zip)
– Install in D:\Coding\D2XX

Download qwt-plot3d from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwtplot3d/files/
(File I am using is qwtplot3d-0.2.7.zip)
– Install in D:\Coding\qwtplot3d

Edit D:\coding\qwtplot3d\src\qwt3d_function.cpp
– Add at top of file: #include <cstdio>
Edit D:\coding\qwtplot3d\qwtplot3d.pro
– Comment out: #win32:TEMPLATE = vclib

Then I start the “Qt Command Prompt” from the Qt SDK folder.

d:
cd d:\coding\qwtplot3d\
qmake -win32
mingw32-make release

Now check out your favourite web sites until the code is built.

Leave the Qt Command Prompt window open as we use it later.

Download GoldenCheetah source
(Either use GIT – git://github.com/srhea/GoldenCheetah.git
or download the zip file:
http://github.com/srhea/GoldenCheetah/zipball/master)
– Install in D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah

Copy D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah\src\gccconfig.pri.in
to D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah\src\gccconfig.pri and edit
– Set: BOOST_INSTALL = d:/coding/boost
– Set: D2XX_INCLUDE = d:/coding/D2XX
– Comment out #SRMIO_INSTALL
– Set: BOOST_INCLUDE = $${BOOST_INSTALL}/
– Comment out: CONFIG += debug
– Uncomment: CONFIG += static

Copy D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah\qwt\qwtconfig.pri.in
to D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah\qwt\qwtconfig.pri and edit
– Set win32 { INSTALLBASE    = D:/Coding/Qt }
– In #Qt4 win32 { section
– Comment out: #CONFIG           += debug     # release/debug/debug_and_release
– Add in:   CONFIG           += release

Using the “Qt Command Prompt” window from before:

cd d:\coding\GoldenCheetah
qmake -win32
mingw32-make release

Go back to checking your email or favourite web sites while this builds.

When all is finished, you should have a release version in:

D:\Coding\GoldenCheetah\src\release\

Next , move required build files into the d:\coding\GoldenCheetah\src\release directory.

cd d:\coding\GoldenCheetah
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\mingwm10.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtCore4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtGui4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtSql4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtXml4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtNetwork4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtOpenGL4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtWebKit4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\QtXmlPatterns4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\phonon4.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\bin\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll src\release\
copy /y ..\qwtplot3d\lib\qwtplot3d.dll src\release\
mkdir src\release\sqldrivers
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\plugins\sqldrivers\qsqlite4.dll src\release\sqldrivers\
mkdir src\release\imageformats
copy /y ..\Qt\qt\plugins\imageformats\qjpeg4.dll src\release\imageformats\

To build the self installer:

cd d:\coding\GoldenCheetah\src\win32
d:\coding\NSISPortable\App\NSIS\makensis.exe GoldenCheetahInstall.nsi

You should find the installer file in the directory you are in.

Install and enjoy.

Hi,

is it possible to find out how to build in mac os? I would like to try out the new ant+ feature (if I'm understanding it correctly)

Thanks,
Allen

I don't think that there is a detailed how-to for Mac. Maybe someone will do one soon. I have some notes from Jamie but nothing to test them on. THere is now a v3 development build out which has the ANT+ realtime in it. See the site for more details.

Hola,Do you mean instructions on how to build written in Spanish orGoldenCheetah with Spanish text?For how to build instructions – No.For Golden Cheetah in Spanish:V2.1 development – The majority is now translated into Spanish.V3.0 development – Basic Spanish translation is in place. We aim toexpend this as a release date approaches.To change the language supported, go to:- Mac – Golden Cheetah menu, Preferences item- Windows/Linux – Tools menu, Options item.Then select the “Settings” tab, then change the “Language:”Then press the “Save” button and restart Golden Cheetah for thechanges to take place.

GC v. 3.0 does not start on my MacBook air with OS 10.6.8.
Very sad,

Hi,

i tried to build under Windows – I installed the tools mentioned above but it seems that this is a bit outdated, at least when compiling latest code. Can you share the versions of the tools (Qt, Boost, gcc…) you use for compiling under windows?

Thanks,
Christian.

Hi,

first, I'm appreciating the work you do, I really like this site!

Would it be possible to share the versions of the tools you use to build for Windows? The how-to above is mentioning version which seem to be outdated when building latest on master (for instance I got some compilation errors due to some missing class methods in qt-sdk-win-opensource-2010.02.1)

Thanks,
Christian.

Yeah. I need to do two things.1. Pull that documentation as it is really for 2.x series.2. Do an update to the GIT documentation on how I do the Windows build.I'll let you in on a secret – it is cross-compiled on Linux using Mcross environment (http://mxe.cc) with some custom mods.At the moment if you check the About dialog you can see thegcconfig.pri that is used and you'll get an idea on how things aredone.
