Complete compile instructions

[macarthy]

I'd like to compile the master branch, use the 4.8.2 but I need a little hand holding. 

I need the lastest build to support grayscale images ( I think!). 

I believe I need to compile branch 4.8.2, does this look right ?

sudo apt-get build-dep libqt4-gui libqt4-network libqt4-webkit
sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg git-core git-doc libssl-dev

git clone git://gitorious.org/~antialize/qt/antializes-qt.git wkhtmltopdf-qt

cd wkhtmltopdf-qt
git branch checkout 4.8.2
bin/syncqt
./configure -nomake tools,examples,demos,docs,translations -opensource -prefix ../wkqt
make -j3
make install
cd ..

git clone https://github.com/antialize/wkhtmltopdf.git

cd wkhtmltopdf

../wkqt/bin/qmake

make -j3

Does this look right ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm having same problem (grayscale images).

I was able to compile SO version of qt. However when I try to compile using static verison (-static in configure) i'm getting following errors. ANy idea?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwebcore

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljscore

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04

Hi, did you find solution for the lwebcore and ljscore problem?

I have the similar issue, when i try to build 4.8.4 static patched QT.

[Renan Gonçalves]

cp ./src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/WebCore/release/libwebcore.* lib/

cp ./src/3rdparty/webkit/Source/JavaScriptCore/release/libjscore.* lib/

That solved the lwebcore and ljscore not being found.

However I am still getting errors. Check this: https://gist.github.com/renan/6713393/raw/16cf3fea13e818ab5494fd0fcbe6ae46ad6fbaa7/gistfile1.txt

I just compiled with this a different fork[1], that have another patch on top of antialize's patch[2], based on PhantomJS.

And everything went fine except it failed to pack the files. The binary and the libraries were there, but the packer was trying a different path.

I will give another try tomorrow and see if I can fix the packer.

linux-local build went fine, that's the only I tried though.

I have created two PR's on antialize's repository.

One for fixing the missing libraries[1] and one for making the packer look at the right directory[2], this last PR is only needed for building linux-local.
