Jami-qt

jami-qt is the cross platform client for Jami. For now, it's mainly used for the Windows platform and is not tested on other platforms.

For more information about the jami project, see the following:

• Main website: https://jami.net/
• Bug tracker: https://git.jami.net/
• Repositories: https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com

Requirements

• Jami client library and Jami daemon
• Mingw-w64 build environment
• Qt5 (we link against Qt5Core, Qt5Widgets, Qt5Gui) built with Mingw
• Qt5 Svg, Qt5 ImageFormats & Qt5 WinExtras built with Mingw

Get the source code

• git clone https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/ring-client-windows

Build instructions

NOTE: The build process is currently under a full refactorization. This section will be updated soon

Windows

TBD

Packaging

• Nsis : Nullsoft Scriptable Install System :http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page.

cd build/release
makensis ring.nsi

Linux

For now, this process is experimental. The best way to do that is:

1. Compile the daemon and LRC as specified in these projects (see the respective repositories or https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project/wikis/technical/Build-instructions).
2. Install needed dependencies (TBD):
   • For Fedora:

sudo dnf install qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-qtwebengine-devel qt5-multimedia-devel

3. If you are not using the ring-project repository, you have to define the LRC environment variable to contains the install directory for LRC. Also, you will have to setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH if your install directory is a custom one.
4. Then, build the client:

mkdir build
cd build
qmake-qt5 ../jami-qt.pro
make -j 9

5. Then, you are finally ready to launch jami-qt in your build directory.

Known issues

1. The build system is not straight forward
2. Video doesn't work
3. Can't maximize/minimize window
4. Crash if the daemon is not started and installed.

Mac OS

TBD

Debugging

Compile the client with 'BUILD=Debug' and libRingClient with '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug'
