Building and installing Upplay

Prerequisites

You will need:

The Qt libraries development packages, including QtWebkit and QtNetwork.
qmake.
The development packages for libupnp version 1.6 (beware that the package is named libupnp6 on Debian and Ubuntu 14.04, but it was libupnp3 on Ubuntu 12.04), libcurl, and libexpat.
Only for building from github source: the autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool).

You need to download the release tar files for libupnpp and upplay, or clone the git repositories: libupnpp, upplay.

Building

Extract the source for libupnpp and upplay, use the following procedures to build the two packages:

Building libupnpp:

cd libupnpp-x.y.z
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Building upplay:

cd upplay-x.y.z
qmake
sudo make install

And you should now be able to upplay

The above examples are for source extracted from tar release files. For github source, you need to adjust the names of the top directories, and use the following command before the libupnpp configure:

sh autogen.sh
