# Getting the source
@ -16,34 +13,65 @@ Clone the source code using git and grab all the submodules:
```
git clone https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC.git
cd PolyMC
git submodule init
git submodule update
```
The rest of the documentation assumes you have already cloned the repository.
# Linux
Getting the project to build and run on Linux is easy if you use any modern and up-to-date linux distribution.
## Build dependencies
* A C++ compiler capable of building C++11 code.
* Qt Development tools 5.6 or newer (`qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools libqt5core5a libqt5network5 libqt5gui5` on Debian-based system)
* cmake 3.1 or newer (`cmake` on Debian-based system)
* zlib (`zlib1g-dev` on Debian-based system)
* Java JDK (`openjdk-17-jdk`on Debian-based system)
* GL headers (`libgl1-mesa-dev` on Debian-based system)

You can use IDEs like KDevelop or QtCreator to open the CMake project if you want to work on the code.
### Building a portable binary
```sh
mkdir install
# configure the project
cmake -S . -B build \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./install
# build
cd build
make -j$(nproc) install
```
### Building & Installing to the System
This is the preferred method for installation, and is suitable for packages.
```sh
# configure everything
cmake -S . -B build \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" \ # Use "/usr" for packages, otherwise, leave it at the default "/usr/local".
-DLauncher_LAYOUT=lin-system
cd build
make -j$(nproc) install # Optionally specify DESTDIR for packages (i.e. DESTDIR=${pkgdir})
```
### Building a .deb
You need to install the build dependencies first
Requirements: [makedeb](https://docs.makedeb.org/) installed on your system.
```
git clone https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC.git
git submodule init && git submodule update
cd packages/debian
./makedeb.sh
git clone https://mpr.makedeb.org/polymc.git
cd polymc
makedeb -s
```
If everything works correctly, the .deb will be next to the build script, in `PolyMC/packages/debian`
The deb will be located in the directory the repo was cloned in.
### Building a .rpm

### Building & Installing to the System
This is the preferred method for installation, and is suitable for packages.
### Building a flatpak
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC.git && cd PolyMC
You only need to clone the flatpak sources
`flatpak` and `flatpak-builder` need to be installed on your system
# configure everything
cmake -S . -B build \

Getting the project to build and run on Windows is easy if you use Qt's IDE, Qt Creator. The project will simply not compile using Microsoft build tools, because that's not something we do. If it does compile, it is by chance only.

## Getting set up

### Installing OpenSSL
1. Download .zip file from the link above.
2. Unzip and add the directory to PATH, so CMake can find it.
### Installing CMake
1. Run the CMake installer,
2. It's easiest if you choose to add CMake to the PATH for all users,
- If you don't choose to do this, remember where you installed CMake.
- If you don't choose to do this, remember where you installed CMake.
### Loading the project
1. Open Qt Creator,
2. Choose File->Open File or Project,
3. Navigate to the Launcher source folder you cloned and choose CMakeLists.txt,
4. Read the instructions that just popped up about a build location and choose one,
5. If you chose not to add CMake to the system PATH, tell Qt Creator where you installed it,
- Otherwise you can skip this step.

- Test OpenSSL by making an instance and trying to log in. If Qt Creator couldn't find OpenSSL during the CMake stage, login will fail and you'll get an error.

### Compile from command line on Windows
1. If you installed Qt with the web installer, there should be a shortcut called `Qt 5.4 for Desktop (MinGW 4.9 32-bit)` in the Start menu on Windows 7 and 10. Best way to find it is to search for it. Do note you cannot just use cmd.exe, you have to use the shortcut, otherwise the proper MinGW software will not be on the PATH.
2. Once that is open, change into your user directory, and clone PolyMC by doing `git clone --recursive https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC.git`, and change directory to the folder you cloned to.
3. Make a build directory, and change directory to the directory and do `cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Path\that\makes\sense\for\you`. By default, it will install to C:\Program Files (x86), which you might not want, if you want a local installation. If you want to install it to that directory, make sure to run the command window as administrator.
3. Do `mingw32-make -jX`, where X is the number of cores your CPU has plus one.
4. Now to wait for it to compile. This could take some time. Hopefully it compiles properly.
5. Run the command `mingw32-make install`, and it should install PolyMC, to whatever the `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` was.
6. In most cases, whenever compiling, the OpenSSL dll's aren't put into the directory to where PolyMC installs, meaning you cannot log in. The best way to fix this is just to do `copy C:\OpenSSL-Win32\*.dll C:\Where\you\installed\PolyMC\to`. This should copy the required OpenSSL dll's to log in.

PolyMC is a custom launcher for Minecraft that focuses on predictability, long term stability and simplicity.
This is a **fork** of the MultiMC Launcher and not endorsed by MultiMC. The PolyMC community felt that the maintainer was not acting in the spirit of Free Software so this fork was made. Read "[Why was this fork made?](https://github.com/PolyMC/PolyMC/wiki/FAQ)" on the wiki for more details.

In general, in order of importance:
* Make sure your IDE is not messing up line endings or whitespace and avoid using linters.
* Prefer readability over dogma.
* Keep to the existing formatting.
