Build Guide for Linux

The following has been tested on Ubuntu 17.10 (artful).

Make sure the package lists are up-to-date:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Install git and clone the repository:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone --depth=1 https://mfeemster@bitbucket.org/mfeemster/fractorium.git

Install the dependencies.

sudo apt-get install g++ libc6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgl-dev libglm-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libtbb-dev libxml2-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 ocl-icd-opencl-dev opencl-headers qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libopenexr22 libopenexr-dev

Install the OpenCL drivers and opencl support for your hardware.

For AMD get their drivers from their site, build and install the .deb package.

For Nvidia:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe nvidia-prime nvidia-384 nvidia-384-dev 

Optionally you can install the Nvidia-specific nvidia-libopencl1-384 package, but keep in mind that this will remove the generic ones (ocl-icd-opencl-dev and ocl-icd-libopencl1).

If you have both Qt 4 and 5 installed, select Qt 5 before compilation:

export QT_SELECT=qt5

Compile the binaries, they will be created in the Bin/release folder.

cd fractorium
qmake main.pro -r -spec linux-g++-64 CONFIG+=release
make

Or open main.pro in Qt Creator and build all.

sudo make install will install the files directly. sudo make uninstall is also available.

You can also compile a .deb package to install locally. A few more tools will be necessary:

sudo apt-get install bzr bzr-builddeb dh-make debhelper

Tell bzr about yourself:

bzr whoami "The Person <the.person@email.com>"

A helper script is available, use package-linux.sh in the project root. It will create ~/PPA/fractorium-VERSION as a work folder, by default it builds a signed source package.

For local use you probably want an unsigned binary package:

cd fractorium
./package-linux.sh --binary-only --unsigned
