### Dependencies
To build XCA you need:
- a toolchain
- cmake: https://cmake.org
- Qt5 or Qt6: https://www.qt.io (5.10.1 or higher)
- OpenSSL: https://www.openssl.org (1.1.1 or higher)
or libressl-3.6.x
- Sphinx-Build: https://www.sphinx-doc.org
### Linux / Unix
- Install the dependencies
```
# Bookworm
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config cmake qttools5-dev python3-sphinxcontrib.qthelp
# Bullseye
sudo apt install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config cmake qttools5-dev python3-sphinx
# Either Qt5
sudo apt install qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5sql5 libqt5help5 qttools5-dev
# Or Qt6
sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev
```
- Clone: `git clone https://github.com/chris2511/xca.git`
- Configure: `cmake -B build xca`
- Make: `cmake --build build -j5`
- Install: `sudo cmake --install build`
- Or install local and copy later as root: `DESTDIR=DEST cmake --install build --prefix /usr`
### Apple macos
- Install the dependencies
```
xcode-select --install
brew install openssl@3 qt6 python3 cmake
pip3 install sphinx
```
- Clone: `git clone https://github.com/chris2511/xca.git`
- Configure: `cmake -B build xca`
- Make: `cmake --build build -j5`
- Build the DMG: `cd build && cpack`
- Build the PKG: `cd build && cpack -G productbuild`
XCA can be used with Xcode after initializing the directory with:
`cmake -G Xcode -B .`
### Windows
- Install the dependencies
- Install Python for windows from the store or https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
- Install OpenSSL from here: https://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL-3_1_5.msi and verify the sha256 from https://github.com/slproweb/opensslhashes/blob/master/win32_openssl_hashes.json
- To install the Qt libraries, cmake and the MinGW compiler [aqtinstall](https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall) is used.
Sphinx is used to generate the documentation
```
pip3 install sphinx aqtinstall
```
- Add the PATH shown by pip to your PATH
- Install Qt, cmake and the MinGW toolchain
```
aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.6.3 win64_mingw
aqt install-tool windows desktop tools_mingw90 qt.tools.win64_mingw900
aqt install-tool windows desktop tools_vcredist qt.tools.vcredist_64
```
- If 7z is missing, install it from the store. `7-Zip File Manager (unofficial)` or from 7-zip.org
- Install the "vcredist\\vcredist_64.exe"
- Add cmake, MinGW, OpenSSL and Qt6 to your Path
```
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\Scripts;
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
%USERPROFILE%\Tools\CMake_64\bin;
%USERPROFILE%\Tools\mingw_64\bin;
%USERPROFILE%\6.6.3\mingw_64\bin;
```
- Create `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` environment variable:
```
%USERPROFILE%\6.6.3\mingw_64\lib\cmake
```
- Install `https://wixtoolset.org/releases/` if you want to create the MSI installer
- Clone: `git clone https://github.com/chris2511/xca.git`
- Configure: `cmake -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles" xca`
- Make: `cmake --build build -j5`
- Create the Portable App: `cmake --build build -t install`
- Build the MSI installer (and the Portable App): `cd build ; cpack`
## __SQL Remote Database Drivers__
MySQL plugins are not shipped with QT anymore because of license issues.
### Linux
- Debian: `libqt6sql6-psql` `libqt6sql6-mysql` or `libqt6sql6-odbc`.
- RPM: `libqt6-database-plugin-pgsql` `libqt6-database-plugin-mysql` `libqt6-database-plugin-odbc`
They should pull in all necessary dependencies.
### Apple macos
- **PostgreSQL**: Install the https://postgresapp.com/
- **ODBC**: It requires the `/usr/local/opt/libiodbc/lib/libiodbc.2.dylib`.
When installing unixodbc via `brew` the library must be symlinked from
`/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libiodbc/3.52.16/lib/libiodbc.2.dylib`
- **MariaDB**: Driver included since XCA 2.8.0
### Windows
- **PostgreSQL**: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads (Commandline tools).
Add the `bin` directory of the Postgres installation directory to your PATH (C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\16)
- **ODBC**: Use the `ODBC Datasources 64bit app` to configure the SQL Server
- **MariaDB (MySQL)**: Install the Plugin from here: https://github.com/thecodemonkey86/qt_mysql_driver.
Select the MinGW variant and install it as documented.
