Spectator

a system tray which downloads and displays various information from router Turris.

App is written in QT5.

HOWTO compile

Note that QT 5.2.1 and above are required.

The compilation itself consists of two parts: library and gui

To compile both parts you can perform following commands:

QT_SELECT=5 qmake "CONFIG+=staticlib"
make

Required packages on Ubuntu 15.04

• qt5-qmake
• qttranslations5-l10n
• qtbase5-dev-tools
• qtdeclarative5-dev

Extra debug output

To gain an extra debugging output (netconf communication) use:

QT_SELECT=5 qmake spectator.pro "CONFIG+=staticlib" "QMAKE_CXXFLAGS+=-DMORE_DEBUG"

Windows console mode

To compile sources and see program output, you need to compile app in console mode:

QT_SELECT=5 qmake spectator.pro "CONFIG+=staticlib" "WIN_CONSOLE=1"

HOWTO run

To run it you can need simply use:

./bin/turris-spectator

Windows packaging on Linux

Requirements:

• wine
• nsis (and all related packages)
• Qt 5.5.0 binaries (http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.5/5.5.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.5.0.exe)
• OpenSSL binaries (http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2d.exe)

Steps:

1. Download exefiles of QT and OpenSSL

2. Install them into wine (use default locations and ignore errors during the installation):

   wine qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw492-5.5.0.exe
   wine Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2d.exe

3. Compile sources:

   wine cmd < spectator-build.bat

4. Prepare required dll files:

   wine cmd < spectator-prepare-dlls.bat

5. Pack it all together using nsis:

   makensis nsis/spectator.nsi

6. Final install executable should be located in:

   nsis/spectator-{version}-install.exe

Systray mode issues

Currently the systray mode doesn't work properly on some versions of ubuntu. To run spectator with systray disabled:

turris-spectator --no-systray

You can also try to force it to run in systray mode (might work for some versions):

turris-spectator --force-systray
