Building Guide for Linux

Install git and clone the repository:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/mfeemster/fractorium

Install the dependencies.

For Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid) and 15.10 (wily):

sudo apt-get install g++ libdbus-1-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgl-dev libglm-dev libjpeg-dev libpng12-dev libtbb-dev libxml2-dev qt5-default qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1

Install the OpenCL drivers and opencl support for your hardware. For Nvidia:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 nvidia-352-dev nvidia-opencl-icd-352 nvidia-libopencl1-352 nvidia-prime nvidia-modprobe

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

export QT_SELECT=qt5

Compile the binary:

cd fractorium
qmake
make

Run the binary from the release folder:

cd Bin/release
./fractorium

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

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
