Compiling neroshop from source

0. Install prerequisites

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt install build-essential cmake git

Arch

sudo pacman -Sy --needed base-devel cmake git

Fedora

sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ make cmake git

1. Clone neroshop (and its submodules)

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/layters/testshop.git

cd testshop

2. Install dependencies

Debian/Ubuntu

# neroshop
sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev qtdeclarative5-dev qml-module-qt-labs-platform qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-shapes qml-module-qtquick-dialogs
# monero-cpp (monero)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install pkg-config libssl-dev libzmq3-dev libunbound-dev libsodium-dev libunwind8-dev liblzma-dev libreadline6-dev libexpat1-dev libpgm-dev qttools5-dev-tools libhidapi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libudev-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-locale-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev python3 ccache

Arch (missing Qt/QML libraries)

# neroshop
sudo pacman -Sy --needed curl openssl qt5-declarative
# monero-cpp (monero)
sudo pacman -Syu --needed boost openssl zeromq libpgm unbound libsodium libunwind xz readline expat gtest python3 ccache qt5-tools hidapi libusb protobuf systemd

Fedora (missing Qt/QML libraries)

# neroshop
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel openssl-devel
# monero-cpp (monero)
sudo dnf install boost-static libstdc++-static pkgconf boost-devel openssl-devel zeromq-devel openpgm-devel unbound-devel libsodium-devel libunwind-devel xz-devel readline-devel expat-devel gtest-devel ccache qt5-linguist hidapi-devel libusbx-devel protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler systemd-devel

3. Update monero-cpp submodules

cd external/monero-cpp && ./bin/update_submodules.sh

cd external/monero-project

4. Install expat and unbound (May be required to build monero-project on Debian/Ubuntu otherwise, this step can be skipped):

wget https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/releases/download/R_2_4_8/expat-2.4.8.tar.bz2
tar -xf expat-2.4.8.tar.bz2
sudo rm expat-2.4.8.tar.bz2
cd expat-2.4.8
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
make
sudo make install
cd ../

wget https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/unbound/unbound-1.19.0.tar.gz
tar xzf unbound-1.19.0.tar.gz
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential
sudo apt install -y libssl-dev
sudo apt install -y libexpat1-dev
sudo apt-get install -y bison
sudo apt-get install -y flex
cd unbound-1.19.0
./configure --with-libexpat=/usr --with-ssl=/usr
make
sudo make install
cd ../

5. Build monero-project to create .a libraries

make release-static -j$(nproc)

cd ../../../../

6. Build neroshop

To build with CMake:

# Build external libraries
cd external/
cmake .
make -j$(nproc)
cd ..

# Build neroshop
cd build
cmake .. #-DNEROSHOP_BUILD_CLI=1 #-DNEROSHOP_BUILD_TESTS=1
make -j$(nproc)

7. Run neroshop

# Run neroshop
./neroshop
