16 ### Used code from projects
18 * FAR for Windows and some of its plugins
25 ## Contributing, Hacking
26 #### Required dependencies
28 * libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev (or libwxgtk3.2-dev in newer distributions, or libwxgtk3.0-dev in older ones, optional - needed for GUI backend, not needed with -DUSEWX=no)
29 * libx11-dev (optional - needed for X11 extension that provides better UX for TTY backend wherever X11 is available)
30 * libxi-dev (optional - needed for X11/Xi extension that provides best UX for TTY backend wherever X11 Xi extension is available)
31 * libxerces-c-dev (optional - needed for Colorer plugin, not needed with -DCOLORER=no)
32 * libuchardet-dev (optional - needed for auto charset detection, not needed with -DUSEUCD=no)
33 * libssh-dev (optional - needed for NetRocks/SFTP)
34 * libssl-dev (optional - needed for NetRocks/FTPS)
35 * libsmbclient-dev (optional - needed for NetRocks/SMB)
36 * libnfs-dev (optional - needed for NetRocks/NFS)
37 * libneon27-dev (or later, optional - needed for NetRocks/WebDAV)
38 * libarchive-dev (optional - needed for better archives support in multiarc)
39 * libunrar-dev (optional - needed for RAR archives support in multiarc, see UNRAR command line option)
40 * libpcre3-dev (or libpcre2-dev in older distributions, optional - needed for advanced custom archive formats support in multiarc)
44 * git (needed for downloading source code)
46 #### Or simply on Debian/Ubuntu:
48 apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libpcre3-dev libxerces-c-dev libuchardet-dev libssh-dev libssl-dev libsmbclient-dev libnfs-dev libneon27-dev libarchive-dev cmake pkg-config g++ git
51 On Debian unstable/sid:
53 `apt-get install far2l`
55 A simple sid back port should be as easy as (build your own binary deb from the official source deb package):
58 # you will find the latest dsc link at http://packages.debian.org/sid/far2l
59 dget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/far2l/far2l_2.5.0~beta+git20230223+ds-2.dsc
63 # cd .. and install your self built far2l*.deb
66 In older distributions: use libpcre2-dev and libwxgtk3.0-dev instead of libpcre3-dev and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
69 * Clone current master `git clone https://github.com/elfmz/far2l`
70 * Checkout some stable release tag (master considered unstable): `git checkout v_2.#.#`
71 * Prepare build directory:
80 cmake -DUSEWX=yes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
81 cmake --build . -j$(nproc --all)
83 _or with ninja (you need **ninja-build** package installed)_
85 cmake -DUSEWX=yes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja ..
89 * If above commands finished without errors - you may also install far2l, `sudo cmake --install .`
91 * Also its possible to create far2l_2.X.X_ARCH.deb or ...tar.gz packages in `_build` directory by running `cmake --build . --target package` command.
93 ##### Additional build configuration options:
95 To build without WX backend (console version only): change `-DUSEWX=yes` to `-DUSEWX=no` also in this case dont need to install libwxgtk\*-dev package
97 To force-disable TTY|X and TTY|Xi backends: add argument `-DTTYX=no`; to disable only TTY|Xi - add argument `-DTTYXI=no`
99 To eliminate libuchardet requirement to reduce far2l dependencies by cost of losing automatic charset detection functionality: add -DUSEUCD=no
101 To build with Python plugin: add argument `-DPYTHON=yes`
103 To control how RAR archives will be handled in multiarc:
104 `-DUNRAR=bundled` (default) use bundled sources found in multiarc/src/formats/rar/unrar
105 `-DUNRAR=lib` use libunrar and unrar utility, also build requires libunrar-dev to be installed
106 `-DUNRAR=NO` dont use special unrar code, rar archives will be handled by libarchive unless its also disabled
108 There're also options to toggle other plugins build in same way: ALIGN AUTOWRAP CALC COLORER COMPARE DRAWLINE EDITCASE EDITORCOMP FARFTP FILECASE INCSRCH INSIDE MULTIARC NETROCKS SIMPLEINDENT TMPPANEL
110 #### OSX/MacOS install
112 * You can install prebuilt package for x86_64 platform via Homebrew Cask, by command:
114 brew install --cask far2l
116 * You can also manually download and install prebuilt package for x86_64 platform from Releases page: <https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/releases>
117 * But if you need custom/recent build, you can proceed to build steps below: using brew or MacPorts.
118 * Supported compiler: `AppleClang 8.0.0.x` or newer. Check your version, and install/update Xcode if necessary.
122 * If you want to build using Homebrew - first visit <https://brew.sh/> for installation instructions. Note that there're reported problems with Homebrew-based build under MacOS Big Sur.
123 * If you want to build using MacPorts - first visit <https://www.macports.org/install.php> for installation instructions.
125 ##### One line OSX/MacOS install latest far2l git master via unofficial brew tap
127 * With GUI/TTY backends:
129 brew install --HEAD yurikoles/yurikoles/far2l
131 * With TTY backend only:
133 brew install --HEAD yurikoles/yurikoles/far2l --without-wxwidgets
135 * Additionally you can enable python support by adding `--with-python@3.10` to the one of two above commands.
137 ##### Full OSX/MacOS build from sources (harder):
138 Some issues can be caused by conflicting dependencies, like having two versions of wxWidgets, so avoid such situation when installing dependecies.
142 git clone https://github.com/elfmz/far2l
145 * Install needed dependencies with MacPorts:
147 sudo port install cmake pkgconfig wxWidgets-3.2 libssh openssl xercesc3 libfmt uchardet neon
148 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig
150 * OR if you prefer to use brew packages, then:
153 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$(brew --prefix)/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig:$(brew --prefix)/opt/libarchive/lib/pkgconfig"
155 * After dependencies installed - you can build far2l:
160 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DUSEWX=yes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
161 cmake --build . -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
167 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DUSEWX=yes -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja ..
170 * Then you may create .dmg package by running: `cpack` command.
171 Note that this step sometimes fails and may succeed from not very first attempt.
172 Its recommended not to do anything on machine while cpack is in progress.
173 After .dmg successfully created, you may install it by running `open ...path/to/created/far2l-*.dmg`
175 #### Building on Gentoo (and derivatives)
176 For absolute minimum you need:
178 emerge -avn dev-libs/xerces-c app-i18n/uchardet dev-util/cmake
180 If you want to build far2l with wxGTK support also install it:
182 emerge -avn x11-libs/wxGTK
184 Additionally, for NetRocks you will need:
186 emerge -avn net-libs/neon net-libs/libssh net-fs/libnfs net-fs/samba
188 After installing, follow Clone and Build section above.
190 #### Installing and Building on [NixOS](https://nixos.org/)
192 To install system-wide, add the `far2l` package to your [`configuration.nix`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-changing-config) `environment.systemPackages` list. To run the application on-demand without affecting the system state, execute `nix-shell -p far2l --command far2l`. These use a package version from your current [channel](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_channels).
194 The Far2l adaptation for _nix_ is [a small file on GitHub](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/misc/far2l/default.nix), it tells which Git revision from Far2l repo to fetch, with what dependencies to build it, and how to patch its references to other software to make it run in isolated fashion independently from other versions available in the system.
196 You can build and run `far2l` package for any revision:
197 * Directly from GitHub (`NixOS/nixpkgs` repo, or your own fork and branch):
199 nix-shell -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/<fork>/nixpkgs/archive/<revision-or-branch>.tar.gz -p far2l --command far2l
201 * From a locally cloned working directory of the repo:
203 nix-shell -I nixpkgs=/path/to/nixpkgs -p far2l --command far2l
206 To advance the package to a new Far2l revision, edit the `fetchFromGitHub` set attributes `rev` (revision hash) and `sha256` (revision content hash). **Important!** If you leave the old content hash, the old cached content for that hash might be used without attempting to download the new revision. If you're not expecting the build to break, the easiest would be to make a fork, push the change, and build straight from github.
209 You can import the project into your favourite IDE like QtCreator, CodeLite, or any other, which supports cmake or which cmake is able to generate projects for.
211 * **QtCreator**: select "Open Project" and point QtCreator to the CMakeLists.txt in far2l root directory
212 * **CLion**: the same as **QtCreator**.
213 * **CodeLite**: use this guide to setup a project: https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCMakePlugin (to avoid polluting your source tree, don't create your workspace inside of the far2l directory)
215 ### Useful 3rd-party extras
