## Building

### Tools
* Qt
* gcc on linux, msvc on windows
* qbs

### Steps

* Create a build folder
```
[smolbote repo]$ mkdir build
```

* Run qbs
```
[smolbote repo]$ qbs build --build-directory build --file src/smolbote.qbs profile:qt5 release
```
This installs the files to build/release/install-root.

* Test run using the specified Qt profile (optional)
```
[smolbote repo]$ qbs run --build-directory build --file src/smolbote.qbs --products poi profile:qt5 release
```

### Notes
* Windows: MSVC compiler is required because of QtWebEngine dependency
* Windows: Passing the -v or -h parameters creates a dialog box instead of 
writing the output to stdout.  This is Qt behaviour.

## Packaging

### Tarball

Creating a tarball:
```
tar -I "lzip -9" -cf build.tar.lz release-folder/*
```

Signing a tarball:
```
gpg -u $FINGERPRINT -b $FILENAME
```
-u, --local-user name
> Use name as the user ID to sign. This option is silently ignored for the list 
commands, so that it can be used in an options file.

-b, --detach-sign
> Make a detached signature.

Creating checksum:
```
sha512sum --binary build.tar.lz > checksum.sha512
```

Verifying checksum:
```
sha512sum --check checksum.sha512
```

### Windows
Collect the required libraries using

```
QT_DIR\QT_VER\msvc2015_64\windeployqt.exe build-PROFILE\release\qtbrowser.exe
```
