Linux Compile

1. Download from GIT

  1. Install git:
    • (Debian / Ubuntu) sudo apt install git
    • (Arch / Manjaro) sudo pacman -S git
  2. Clone repository
    • Without a public SSH key (easy, recommended):
      git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/chronojump.git
    • With a public SSH key (you may need a https://gitlab.gnome.org/ account and upload there your public ssh key):
      git clone git@ssh.gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/chronojump.git
  3. Change directory:
    cd chronojump

2. Install dependencies

  • Debian / Ubuntu / Linux Mint

Install packages needed the following packages (when you execute the command, lots of dependencies will be added).

gtk3 versions: sudo apt install build-essential automake mono-mcs intltool libtool libgtk3.0-cil libgtk3.0-cil-dev libglib3.0-cil-dev libmono-cil-dev libmono-2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin mono-xbuild mono-devel libmono-system-json4.0-cil r-base

gtk2 versions: sudo apt install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev r-base automake mono-mcs libtool libmono-cil-dev libmono-2.0-dev libglib2.0-cil-dev libgtk2.0-cil-dev libglade2.0-cil-dev libmono-cil-dev mono-xbuild intltool libgtk2.0-dev r-base mono-devel libmono-system-json4.0-cil

On Linux Mint you will also need:
sudo apt install mono-reference-assemblies-4.0

  • Arch / Manjaro

sudo pacman -S base-devel mono gtk-sharp-2

Note on Nov 2020 glade-sharp was removed from gtk-sharp-2 so instead of gtk-sharp-2 package, it is needed this version: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk-sharp-2-git/ as commented here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/trying-to-build-banshee/34542/11

3. Fix Mono target

Note Mono is moving to 4.5 and maybe there are problems finding dependencies. On Debian Stretch it has been ugly fixed like this: https://github.com/aegif/CmisSync/issues/739
cd /usr/lib/mono

sudo mv 4.0 4.0_old

sudo ln -s 4.5 4.0

cd -

4. Compile

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
