Building via qmake

The following commands assume the following environment variables are set:

  • $srcdir: The directory into which the source has been downloaded and unpacked.
  • _qtver: The Qt version being used (eg: 5.5.1).
  • $pkgdir: The directory into which installable files are places. This is / for local installations, or can be different directory when preparing a redistributable package.

Either set them accordingly, or replace them in the below commands as desired.

The following sources should be downloaded and unpacked into $srcdir:

  • This repository (either master or a specific tag).
  • The Qt sources: http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/${_qtver%.*}/$_qtver/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-$_qtver.tar.xz
  • git clone git+https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad breakpad
  • git clone git+https://chromium.googlesource.com/linux-syscall-support breakpad-lss
  • telegramdesktop.desktop (The intention is to include this file inside the source package at some point): https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/telegramdesktop.desktop?h=telegram-desktop
  • tg.protocol: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/plain/tg.protocol?h=telegram-desktop

Preparation
