Building Psi+ on OpenSUSE “from scratch” (the bare system).

Your system may not be QtCrypto and QtDev>=4.4.2. If you do not – they must be installed prior to build.

Install packages to build Psi+. Installed once at the first build.

zypper in git-core gcc libqt4-devel qt4-x11-tools qdevelop patch make

Remove previous build to build “clean”:

cd /home
rm psi -r

Download the source code of Psi and submodules from git:

cd /home
git clone git://git.psi-im.org/psi.git
cd psi
git submodule init
git submodule update

The resulting directory you can save and then run the command for get the current version of Psi.

git pull
git submodule update

Download all the patches and install them:

cd /home
svn co http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/patches/ psi
cd psi
cat *.diff|patch -p1

Build Psi+ and install:

cd /home/psi/
qconf && ./configure --enable-plugins && make && make install

Note! If the qconf not installed then you need to do it yourself.

If the command ./configure get an qtcore error then we write:

qmake --version

Look at the path and run ./configure with parameter:

./configure --qtdir=<path>

Most likely it will be:

./configure --qtdir=/usr/lib

If you need to install additional emoticons, moods or Russian localization then do the following:

cd /usr/local/share/psi/iconsets/emoticons
wget http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iconsets/emoticons/lk_35x35x138_tasha.jisp
wget http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iconsets/emoticons/tasha_18x18x93.jisp

cd /usr/local/share/psi/iconsets
mkdir moods
cd moods
wget http://psi-dev.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iconsets/moods/silk.jisp

cd /usr/local/share/psi
wget http://psi-ru.googlecode.com/svn/branches/psi-plus/psi_ru.qm

%description
Psi is the premiere Instant Messaging application designed for Microsoft Windows, 
Apple Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. Built upon an open protocol named Jabber,           
si is a fast and lightweight messaging client that utilises the best in open      
source technologies. The goal of the Psi project is to create a powerful, yet     
easy-to-use Jabber/XMPP client that tries to strictly adhere to the XMPP drafts.  
and Jabber JEPs. This means that in most cases, Psi will not implement a feature  
unless there is an accepted standard for it in the Jabber community. Doing so     
ensures that Psi will be compatible, stable, and predictable, both from an end-user 
and developer standpoint.

Note: spec file needs to save at the /usr/src/packages/SPECS/psi.spec

cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS/
rpmbuild -bb psi.spec

Note: Flag - bb indicates program to build a binary package. After successful build of the package can be picked up from the directory /usr/src/packages/RPMS/$processor-architecture.

And install by the command:

rpm -ihv psi-0.15_dev.rpm
