# Linux #### Preparation The following list is what you need to install on your development machine. **You should install all of them before you build seafile**. Package names are according to Ubuntu 12.04. For other Linux distros, please find their corresponding names yourself. - autoconf/automake/libtool - libevent-dev ( 2.0 or later ) - libcurl4-openssl-dev (1.0.0 or later) - libgtk2.0-dev ( 2.24 or later) - uuid-dev - intltool (0.40 or later) - libsqlite3-dev (3.7 or later) - valac (only needed if you build from git repo) - libjansson-dev - libqt4-dev - valac - cmake - libfuse-dev (for seafile >= 2.1) - python-simplejson (for seaf-cli) ~~~ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool libevent-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtk2.0-dev uuid-dev intltool libsqlite3-dev valac libjansson-dev libqt4-dev cmake libfuse-dev ~~~ For a fresh Fedora 20 installation, the following will install all dependencies via YUM: ~~~ $ sudo yum install wget gcc libevent-devel openssl-devel gtk2-devel libuuid-devel sqlite-devel jansson-devel intltool cmake qt-devel fuse-devel libtool vala gcc-c++ ~~~ #### Building First you should get the latest source of libsearpc/ccnet/seafile/seafile-client: Download the source tarball of the latest tag from - [https://github.com/haiwen/libsearpc/tags](https://github.com/haiwen/libsearpc/tags) (use v3.0-latest) - [https://github.com/haiwen/ccnet/tags](https://github.com/haiwen/ccnet/tags) - [https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/tags](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/tags) - [https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/tags](https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/tags) For example, if the latest released seafile client is 3.0.2, then just use the **v3.0.2** tags of the four projects. You should get four tarballs: - libsearpc-v3.0-latest.tar.gz - ccnet-3.0.2.tar.gz - seafile-3.0.2.tar.gz - seafile-client-3.0.2.tar.gz ~~~ export version=3.0.2 alias wget='wget --content-disposition -nc' wget https://github.com/haiwen/libsearpc/archive/v3.0-latest.tar.gz wget https://github.com/haiwen/ccnet/archive/v${version}.tar.gz wget https://github.com/haiwen/seafile/archive/v${version}.tar.gz wget https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/archive/v${version}.tar.gz ~~~ Now uncompress them: ~~~ tar xf libsearpc-v3.0-latest.tar.gz tar xf ccnet-${version}.tar.gz tar xf seafile-${version}.tar.gz tar xf seafile-client-${version}.tar.gz ~~~ To build Seafile client, you need first build **libsearpc** and **ccnet**, **seafile**. ##### set paths ~~~ export PREFIX=/usr export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH" export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH" ~~~ ##### libsearpc ~~~ cd libsearpc-${version} ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX make sudo make install ~~~ ##### ccnet ~~~ cd ccnet-${version} ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX make sudo make install ~~~ ##### seafile ~~~ cd seafile-${version}/ ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-gui make sudo make install ~~~ #### seafile-client ~~~ cd seafile-client-${version} cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX . make sudo make install ~~~ #### custom prefix when installing to a custom `$PREFIX`, i.e. `/opt`, you may need a script to set the path variables correctly ~~~ cat >$PREFIX/bin/seafile-applet.sh <<END #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH" exec seafile-applet $@ END cat >$PREFIX/bin/seaf-cli.sh <<END export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PREFIX/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH" export PYTHONPATH=$PREFIX/lib/python2.7/site-packages exec seaf-cli $@ END chmod +x $PREFIX/bin/seafile-applet.sh $PREFIX/bin/seaf-cli.sh ~~~ you can now start the client with `$PREFIX/bin/seafile-applet.sh`.
