# QLog
QLog is an Amateur Radio logging application for Linux, Windows. It
is based on the Qt framework and uses SQLite as database backend.
QLogs aims to be as simple as possible, but to provide everything the operator expects from the log to be. This log is not currently focused on contests.

**Flatpak** package is available via [Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.foldynl.QLog). The package contains built-in TrustedQSL.
### Windows
Prerequisites:
- Installed [Trusted QSL](http://www.arrl.org/tqsl-download) (Optional)
- Installed [Omnirig v1](https://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/) (Optional)
- Installed [Omnirig v2](https://www.hb9ryz.ch/omnirig/) (Optional)
Installation package is available via GitHub [Releases](https://github.com/foldynl/QLog/releases) .
### MacOS
Official support ended. Only for developers.
## Compilation
### General
Prerequisites
- Installed Qt
- Installed [qtkeychain-devel](https://github.com/frankosterfeld/qtkeychain) library and headers
- Installed [OpenSSL-devel](https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries) libraries and headers
- Installed [HamLib-devel](https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/releases/latest) libraries and headers
`qmake` supports listed input parameters that affect the compilation process.
- `HAMLIBINCLUDEPATH` - the path to Hamlib Includes
- `HAMLIBLIBPATH` - the path to Hamlib Library
- `HAMLIBVERSION_MAJOR` - Hamlib version - major number (must be present if `pkg-config` cannot determine Hamlib version)
- `HAMLIBVERSION_MINOR` - Hamlib version - minor number (must be present if `pkg-config` cannot determine Hamlib version)
- `HAMLIBVERSION_PATCH` - Hamlib version - patch number (must be present if `pkg-config` cannot determine Hamlib version)
- `PTHREADINCLUDEPATH` - the path to pthread Includes - needed for Windows Hamlib 4.5 and later. Leave empty if system libraries should be used.
- `PTHREADLIBPATH` - the path to pthread Library - needed for Windows Hamlib 4.5 and later. Leave empty if system libraries should be used.
- `QTKEYCHAININCLUDEPATH` - the path to QtKeyChain Includes
- `QTKEYCHAINLIBPATH`- the path to QtKeyChain Library
Leave variables empty if system libraries and Hamlib version autodetect (calling `pkg-config`) should be used during compilation (for Windows, the parameter must be present)
An example of use:
`
C:/Qt/6.4.1/msvc2019_64/bin/qmake.exe C:\Users\devel\development\QLog\QLog.pro -spec win32-msvc "CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler" "HAMLIBINCLUDEPATH = C:\Users\devel\development\hamlib\include" "HAMLIBLIBPATH = C:\Users\devel\development\hamlib\lib\gcc" "HAMLIBVERSION_MAJOR = 4" "HAMLIBVERSION_MINOR = 5" "HAMLIBVERSION_PATCH = 0" "QTKEYCHAININCLUDEPATH = C:\Users\devel\development\qtkeychain_build\include" "QTKEYCHAINLIBPATH = C:\Users\devel\development\qtkeychain_build\lib" && C:/Qt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/jom/jom.exe qmake_all
`
### Windows
Prerequisites
- Visual Studio 2019
- QT with source codes
- Omnirig v1 and v2
- qtkeychain package (via vcpkg)
To be honest, It is not easy to compile it under Windows but it is possible.
### Linux
for Debian:
`sudo apt-get -y install qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools libsqlite3-dev libhamlib++-dev libqt5charts5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5keychain1 qt5keychain-dev qtwebengine5-dev build-essential libqt5serialport5-dev pkg-config libqt5websockets5-dev`
for Debian (QT6):
`sudo apt-get -y install libhamlib-dev build-essential pkg-config qt6-base-dev qtkeychain-qt6-dev qt6-webengine-dev libqt6charts6-dev libqt6serialport6-dev libqt6webenginecore6-bin libqt6svg6-dev libgl-dev libqt6websockets6-dev`
for Fedora:
`dnf install qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtwebengine-devel qt5-qtcharts-devel hamlib-devel qtkeychain-qt5-devel qt5-qtserialport-devel pkg-config qt5-qtwebsockets-devel libsqlite3x-devel`
for both:
`git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/foldynl/QLog.git`
`cd QLog`
for Debian:
`qmake QLog.pro`
for Debian (QT6):
`qmake6 QLog.pro`
for Fedora:
`/usr/bin/qmake-qt5`
NOTE: if it is necessary then use `qmake` input parameters described above to affect compilation. The input parameter must be use in case when Hamlib or qtkeychain are compiled from their source code repos.
for all:
`make`
### MacOS
In order to build QLog on MacOS, following prerequisites must be satisfied.
1. [Xcode](#xcode) command line tools
2. [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)
3. [Qt](https://www.qt.io) with QtCreator
##### Xcode
Xcode command line tools can be installed by issuing a command in command terminal:
```
xcode-select --install
```
**N.B.:** This command doesn't install Xcode itself, however It will take some time to download and
install the tools anyway.
##### MacOS build
Last dependencies before building QLog are:
```
brew install qt6
brew link qt6 --force
brew install hamlib
brew link hamlib --force
brew install qtkeychain
brew install dbus-glib
brew install brotli
brew install icu4c
brew install pkg-config
```
As soon as the steps above are finished, QLog source can be opened in QtCreator, configured, built and run.
QLog app (qlog.app) from the build artifacts folder can be later copied (`installed`) to `~/Applications` and
accessed via Spotlight search bar.
NOTE: if it is necessary then use `qmake` input parameters described above to affect compilation. The input parameter must be use in case when hamlib or qtkeychain is compiled from their source code repos.
