# Documentation for developers
|
|
|
|
Feather is developed primarily on Linux, but can also be built and debugged on macOS. Development on Windows is not
|
|
currently supported.
|
|
|
|
## Setting up a development environment
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
pacman -S git cmake base-devel ccache unbound boost qrencode zbar qt6-base qt6-svg qt6-websockets qt6-multimedia libzip hidapi protobuf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Ubuntu 22.04
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
|
|
For macOS it's easiest to leverage [brew](https://brew.sh) to install the required dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install qt libsodium libzip qrencode unbound cmake boost hidapi openssl expat libunwind-headers protobuf pkgconfig zbar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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 restart tor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Clone Feather
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone http://github.com/feather-wallet/feather.git
|
|
cd feather
|
|
git submodule update --init --recursive
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Jetbrains Clion (IDE)
|
|
|
|
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. 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.
|
|
|
|
### Building without IDE
|
|
|
|
To build Feather without an IDE:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir build && \
|
|
cd build && \
|
|
cmake .. && \
|
|
cmake --build . -j $(nproc)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
