Building WOWlet

Building for Linux and Windows via Docker is done in 3 steps:

  1. Cloning this repository (+submodules)
  2. Creating a base Docker image
  3. Using the base image to compile a build

important: you only have to do step 2 (base docker image) once.

For Mac OS, scroll down.

Linux

For more information, check the Dockerfile: Dockerfile.

1. Clone

git clone --branch master --recursive https://git.wownero.com/wowlet/wowlet.git
cd wowlet

Replace master with the desired version tag (e.g. v3.1.0) to build the release binary.

2. Base image

docker build --tag wowlet:linux --build-arg THREADS=6 .

Building the base image takes a while. You only need to build the base image once.

3. Build

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/wowlet -w /wowlet wowlet:linux sh -c 'make release-static -j6'

If you're re-running a build make sure to rm -rf build/ first.

The resulting binary can be found in build/bin/wowlet.

Windows

1. Clone

git clone --branch master --recursive https://git.wownero.com/wowlet/wowlet.git
cd wowlet

Replace master with the desired version tag (e.g. v3.1.0) to build the release binary.

2. Base image

docker build -f Dockerfile.windows --tag wowlet:win --build-arg THREADS=6 .

Building the base image takes a while. You only need to build the base image once.

3. Build

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/wowlet -w /wowlet wowlet:win sh -c 'make windows root=/depends target=x86_64-w64-mingw32 tag=win-x64 -j6'

If you're re-running a build make sure to rm -rf build/ first.

The resulting binary can be found in build/x86_64-w64-mingw32/release/bin/wowlet.exe.

Mac OS

method 1 (easiest)

1. Get homebrew

Get brew to install the required dependencies.

HOMEBREW_OPTFLAGS="-march=core2" HOMEBREW_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL="O0" \
    brew install boost zmq openssl libpgm miniupnpc libsodium expat libunwind-headers protobuf libgcrypt qrencode ccache cmake pkgconfig git

2. Compile WOWlet

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/opt/qt5/ make -j4 mac

The resulting Mac OS application can be found build/bin/wowlet.app and will not have Tor embedded.

Since WOWlet needs Tor, install it, start it, and start at Mac OS boot:

brew install tor
brew services start tor

method 2 (advanced, intel/m1 release binaries)

This assumes you have homebrew installed with the packages defined in the previous step ("Get homebrew").

1. Get Qt

Install Qt 5.15.2 from the open-source Qt installer.

2. Get static Boost

We'll install boost under /Users/$USER/build/boost/

mkdir -p "/Users/$USER/build/boost"

wget https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.73.0/source/boost_1_73_0.tar.gz && \
    echo "9995e192e68528793755692917f9eb6422f3052a53c5e13ba278a228af6c7acf boost_1_73_0.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c && \
    tar -xzf boost_1_73_0.tar.gz && \
    rm boost_1_73_0.tar.gz && \
    cd boost_1_73_0

./bootstrap.sh --without-icu
./b2 --disable-icu --with-atomic --with-system --with-filesystem --with-thread \
     --with-date_time --with-chrono --with-regex --with-serialization \
     --with-program_options --with-locale variant=release link=static \
     runtime-link=static cxxflags='-std=c++11' install -a --prefix="/Users/$USER/build/boost/"

3. Get static Tor

  1. Download the official Tor Browser .dmg
  2. Steal tor.real and libevent-2.1.7.dylib from the .dmg
  3. Place them both in src/assets/exec/
  • src/assets/exec/tor
  • src/assets/exec/libevent-2.1.7.dylib

4. Get static Tor

CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/Users/dsc/Qt5.15.2/5.15.2/clang_64 TOR_BIN="foo" make -j10 mac-release

Resulting static Mac OS package: build/bin/wowlet.app

method 3 (from source, WIP, does not work yet)

Download Qt https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.3/single/, unpack it somewhere.

Patch Qt 5.15.3 source.

Problem: QtQuick does not seem to be compiled, Qt5QuickConfig.cmake missing.
