Hacking guide

Want to contribute? Welcome!

Build requirements

• CMake
• Compiler and underlying build system, depending on the target:
  • [Linux] Any of make and gcc
  • [Apple] Xcode or Xcode command line tools
  • [Windows] Visual Studio 2022 or VS 2022 Build Tools
  • [Android] Android SDK and Ninja
• Qt 6.10+ with the following modules:
  • Core module for targeting platform (Desktop/Android/iOS)
  • Qt 5 Compatibility module
  • Qt Remote Objects
• Conan package manager
  • On MacOS is enough just to use homebrew or install it in .venv in project root
  • Other systems must have it in PATH
• (Optional) Installer dependencies:
  • [Windows/Linux] Qt Installer Framework
  • [Windows] WIX toolset

Building the project using scripts

• Run scripts located in deploy directory
• Basically, if dependencies are located in default installation paths, the scripts will find them automatically.
• If they differ, specify them using the following variables:
  • QT_INSTALL_DIR - Qt root installation folder
  • QT_ROOT_PATH - Qt framework root directory
  • QIF_ROOT_PATH - Qt Installer Framework root path
  • ANDROID_HOME - Path to Android SDK root folder
  • and others. Check scripts for more

Unix-like:

# Build executables for the host platform
deploy/build.sh

# Or just
deploy/build.sh

# Build executables and installers for the host platform
deploy/build.sh --installer all

# Build Android APK and AAB
deploy/build.sh -t android --aab

# Call for help
deploy/build.sh -h

Windows:

:: Build executables for Windows
deploy/build.bat

:: Build executables with IFW installer for Windows
deploy/build.bat --installer ifw

:: Build executables with IFW and WIX installer for Windows
deploy/build.bat --installer ifw --installer wix

:: Or just
deploy/build.bat --installer all

Developing the project in IDEs

• Basically, you can use any IDE that handles CMake and Qt kits properly to run configure and build steps, and to navigate through the code nicely. For example:

  • Qt Creator
  • Visual Studio Code with Qt Extension Pack
  • and so on

• To use Xcode, you have to configure project first by using cmake. The easiest way to do it is to use Qt Creator for configuration. Then open AmneziaVPN.xcodeproj file from the build folder by using Xcode. Note that none of the files changed are saved - the files actually getting changed in build directory. Copy them manually if necessary

• Android studio could be used in the same way - just configure the project by using cmake manually or by using Qt Creator. Open <build-dir>/client/android-build in Android studio then. Do not forget to copy the changes - everything you do is saved under the build directory actually.

Installing Android SDK

• Android SDK could be installed using the following methods:
  • Using Qt Creator. Use Preferences->SDKs
  • Using Android studio. By default it installs necessary SDKs automatically during the installation
  • Manually by using sdk-manager. Check this page for details
