## Building

* (Recommended) Create a build folder and change into it
```
mkdir build && cd build
```

* Generate the Makefile
```
qmake-qt5 ../src/smolbote.pro

* [TODO] Prepare translations

* Run make
```
make
```

### Notes
* Don't do any steps marked [TODO]
* 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.

## Deploying

### 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

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