Dependencies

Dependencies required to build Phoenix

NOTE!

At this time Phoenix is only targeted towards 64-bit OSes. 32-bit builds may work but will definitely break in the future. Always pick 64-bit variants if given the choice!

Windows

All modern versions (Vista+)

Install MSYS2. Note that this is NOT MSYS!

NOTE: The build files for this project assume you will install MSYS2 to the default location, C:\msys64. You'll have to edit the various .pro files in this project if you install it somewhere else!

Update MSYS2 (Use MSYS2 shell)

pacman -Syu

Close and reopen the shell if any packages were updated by that command. Next,

pacman -Syu

Install dependencies and utilities (Use MSYS2 shell)

pacman -S --needed git mingw-w64-x86_64-libsamplerate mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL2 mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw-w64-x86_64-qt-creator mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-clang make

OS X

NOTE: Qt 4 packages are known to conflict with Qt 5 and prevent Phoenix from building. Please uninstall these packages before trying to build Phoenix.

All modern versions (10.6+)

Install Xcode and launch at least once
Install Qt 5 via the online installer
Install libraries via Homebrew or MacPorts
- Homebrew: SDL2 libsamplerate

Linux

NOTE: Qt 4 packages are known to conflict with Qt 5 and prevent Phoenix from building. Please uninstall these packages before trying to build Phoenix.

Debian based (aptitude, Debian/Ubuntu/ElementaryOS)

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev libsamplerate0-dev

Install Qt 5 via the online installer
- Qt from Ubuntu package manager out of date at time of writing
- Make the installer executable, then run it:

./qt-linux-opensource-5.X.X-x86[_64]-offline.run
