Required Libraries

  • Qt6 Development Libraries
  • LibPulse dev
  • X11
  • GNU Compiler 12+ Toolchain and development libraries
  • CMake

How to Compile

  1. Run cmake to generate build files no special flags necessary
  2. Run make to build

Installing Required Development Libraries

OpenSUSE

  1. Install base development tools.

    sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_C_C++

  2. Install cmake

    sudo zypper install cmake

  3. Install pulse audio development libraries

    sudo zypper install libpulse-devel

  4. Install Qt6 libraries and tools

    sudo zypper install --recommends -t pattern devel_qt6

  5. Install xcb keysyms

    Download this package to install the keysyms library

Debian/Ubuntu

  1. Install base development tools.

    sudo apt install build-essential

  2. Install cmake

    sudo apt install cmake

  3. Install pulse audio development libraries

    sudo apt install libpulse-devel

  4. Install Qt6 libraries and tools

    sudo apt install qt6-dev

    sudo apt install qt6-tools

Packaging

This project is designed to be packaged into an app image for distribution.

Additional Requirements

In addition to the basic development libraries and tools some additional tools are required to package EarBug

  • linuxdeployqt

    This project uses the linuxdeployqt Project to package the application into an app image. Simply download their app image and then create a link in /usr/bin using ln -s /path/to/linuxdeployqt.appimage /usr/bin/linuxdeployqt

  • qmake

    Linuxdeployqt requires qmake to be installed on your system and in the path.

qmake on Open Suse with Qt6

On OpenSUSE qt6 installs binary named qmake6 to the /usr/bin directory. In order for linuxdeployqt to work correctly create a symlink to qmake6 by running ln -s /usr/bin/qmake6 /usr/bin/qmake

Running linuxdeployqt

Finally, to package the application after building copy the built application binary into the deploy/usr/bin directory then move back to the deploy directory and run linuxdeployqt command, that will build a working app image that can be distributed.
