# Documentation for developers
|
||||
|
||||
Feather is developed primarily on Linux. It uses Qt 5.15.* and chances are that your
|
||||
distro's package manager has a lower version. It is therefore recommended that you install
|
||||
Qt manually using the online installer, which can be found here: https://www.qt.io/download
|
||||
(under open-source).
|
||||
Feather is developed primarily on Linux, but can also be built and debugged on macOS. Development on Windows is not
|
||||
currently supported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Jetbrains Clion
|
||||
If you are just looking to build Feather from source, we recommend following the instructions in BUILDING.md instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Feather was developed using JetBrains Clion since it integrates nicely
|
||||
with CMake and comes with a built-in debugger. To pass CMake flags to CLion,
|
||||
go to `File->Settings->Build->CMake`, set Build Type to `Debug` and set your
|
||||
preferred CMake options/definitions.
|
||||
## Setting up a development environment
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
Note: Feather uses Qt 5.15.* or Qt 6.2+. Make sure your distro's package manager provides these versions.
|
||||
If not, it is recommended that you install Qt manually using the online installer, which can be found here:
|
||||
https://www.qt.io/download (under open-source).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Arch Linux
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt install -y git cmake libqrencode-dev build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev \
|
||||
miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libunwind8-dev pkg-config libssl-dev \
|
||||
libzmq3-dev libsodium-dev libhidapi-dev libnorm-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libpgm-dev \
|
||||
libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libgcrypt20-dev libzip-dev
|
||||
pacman -S git cmake base-devel ccache unbound boost qrencode zbar qt6-base qt6-svg qt6-websockets libzip hidapi protobuf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Mac OS
|
||||
#### Ubuntu 22.04
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install boost zmq openssl libpgm miniupnpc libsodium expat libunwind-headers \
|
||||
protobuf libgcrypt qrencode ccache cmake pkgconfig git
|
||||
apt update
|
||||
apt install git cmake build-essential ccache libssl-dev libunbound-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev libzbar-dev \
|
||||
qt6-base-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libqt6svg6-dev libqt6websockets6-dev libzip-dev libsodium-dev libgcrypt-dev \
|
||||
libx11-xcb-dev libprotobuf-dev libhidapi-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## CMake
|
||||
|
||||
After installing Qt you might have a folder called `/home/$user/Qt/`. You need to pass this to CMake
|
||||
via the `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` definition. For me this is:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/dsc/QtNew/5.15.0/gcc_64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are some Monero/Feather related options/definitions that you may pass:
|
||||
|
||||
- `-DLOCALMONERO=OFF` - disable LocalMonero feature
|
||||
- `-DXMRIG=OFF` - disable XMRig feature
|
||||
- `-DTOR_BIN=/path/to/tor` - Embed a Tor executable inside Feather
|
||||
- `-DDONATE_BEG=OFF` - disable the dreaded donate requests
|
||||
- `-DCHECK_UPDATES=ON` - enable checking for updates, only for standalone binaries
|
||||
|
||||
And:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-DMANUAL_SUBMODULES=1
|
||||
-DUSE_DEVICE_TREZOR=OFF
|
||||
-DUSE_SINGLE_BUILDDIR=ON
|
||||
-DDEV_MODE=ON
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you have OpenSSL installed in a custom location, try:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/lib/openssl-1.1.1g/include
|
||||
-DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/openssl-1.1.1g/libssl.so.1.1
|
||||
-DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/openssl-1.1.1g/libcrypto.so.1.1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
I prefer also enabling verbose makefiles, which may be useful in some situations.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Enable debugging symbols:
|
||||
#### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
||||
brew install qt libsodium libzip qrencode unbound cmake boost hidapi openssl expat libunwind-headers protobuf pkgconfig zbar
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Feather
|
||||
### Polyseed
|
||||
|
||||
It's best to install Tor locally as a service and start Feather with `--use-local-tor`, this
|
||||
prevents the child process from starting up and saves time.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
Feather uses Polyseed to create 16-word mnemonic seeds. It is not currently packaged anywhere, so you must build it
|
||||
from source manually.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt install -y tor
|
||||
sudo service tor start
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/tevador/polyseed.git
|
||||
cd polyseed
|
||||
mkdir build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
cmake ..
|
||||
make
|
||||
sudo make install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mac OS
|
||||
### Tor daemon
|
||||
|
||||
A Tor daemon is required to connect to .onion nodes and the websocket server. Development builds do not include
|
||||
the Tor binary by default, this can be enabled with `-DTOR_DIR=/path/to/tor`. We recommend running a local Tor daemon
|
||||
as this prevents Feather from spawning a child process and saves time.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Arch Linux
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pacman -S tor
|
||||
systemctl enable --now tor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ubuntu Debian
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
apt update && apt install tor
|
||||
systemctl enable --now tor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### macOS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
brew install tor
|
||||
brew services start tor
|
||||
brew services restart tor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To skip the wizards and open a wallet directly use `--wallet-file`:
|
||||
### Clone Feather
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./feather --use-local-tor --wallet-file /home/user/Monero/wallets/bla.keys
|
||||
git clone http://github.com/feather-wallet/feather.git
|
||||
cd feather
|
||||
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended that you use `--stagenet` for development. Testnet is also possible,
|
||||
but you'll have to provide Feather a testnet node of your own.
|
||||
|
||||
### Jetbrains Clion
|
||||
|
||||
We recommend using Jetbrains Clion for Feather development. It integrates nicely with CMake and comes with a built-in
|
||||
debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
To pass CMake flags to CLion, go to `File->Settings->Build->CMake`, set Build Type to `Debug` and set your
|
||||
preferred CMake options/definitions. Add `-DARCH=x86-64` to the CMake options. If you installed Qt using the online
|
||||
installer you may have to add `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/qt/installation` in the CMake options. More CMake options
|
||||
are documented below.
|
||||
|
||||
Run CMake (`View -> Tool Windows -> CMake`). Click on the 🔃 (`Reload CMake Project`) button.
|
||||
|
||||
Go to `Run -> Edit configurations` and make sure the `feather` target is selected.
|
||||
You can add any environment variables and program arguments here:
|
||||
|
||||
- For more verbose logging add `MONERO_LOG_LEVEL=1` to environment variables.
|
||||
- To start Feather in stagenet mode, add `--stagenet` to program arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
After the target is configured, `Run -> Run 'feather'` or press Shift + F10 to build Feather.
|
||||
|
||||
### CMake
|
||||
|
||||
There are some CMake options that you may pass to control how Feather is built:
|
||||
|
||||
- `-DLOCALMONERO=OFF` - disable LocalMonero feature
|
||||
- `-DXMRIG=OFF` - disable XMRig feature
|
||||
- `-DCHECK_UPDATES=ON` - enable checking for updates, only for standalone binaries
|
||||
- `-DDONATE_BEG=OFF` - disable the dreaded donate requests
|
||||
- `-DUSE_DEVICE_TREZOR=OFF` - disable Trezor hardware wallet support
|
||||
- `-DWITH_SCANNER=ON` - enable the webcam QR code scanner
|
||||
- `-DTOR_DIR=/path/to/tor/` - embed a Tor binary in Feather, argument should be a directory containing the binary
|
||||
