Packages

QtFM is available in several distributions, check below if your distribution has the latest version:

Build

Download the latest release, then make sure you have the required dependencies.

• Requires Qt 4.8+ (5.6+ recommended)
• Requires libmagic from file if using Qt 4.
• Requires hicolor-icon-theme
• Requires adwaita-icon-theme
• Optional udisks at run-time

Download and extract:

tar xvf qtfm-VERSION.tar.gz
cd qtfm-VERSION

Or use git:

git clone https://github.com/rodlie/qtfm
cd qtfm

Now you just need to build it:

Optional build options:

• CONFIG+=no_udisks : This will disable udisks, note that qtfm-tray will not build with this option enabled.
• CONFIG+=no_tray : This will disable qtfm-tray
• CONFIG+=no_appdock: This will disable the application dock in QtFM
• CONFIG+=no_dbus : This will disable D-Bus session features in QtFM
• CONFIG+=release : Disable debug output (recommended)
• PREFIX= : Install prefix, where things are installed when running make install
• DOCDIR= : Location for docmentation (default is PREFIX/share/doc)
• MANDIR= : Location for man pages (default is PREFIX/share/man)
• XDGDIR= : Location of XDG (default is /etc/xdg or PREFIX/etc/xdg)

You can disable additional features (udisks/tray/appdock) with CONFIG+=basic

Doing a normal build:

mkdir build && cd build
qmake CONFIG+=release ..
make

You can run the binary fm/qtfm or install to /usr/local:

sudo make install

Packaging

Same as above, but you should use PREFIX= and INSTALL_ROOT=.

Example:

mkdir build && cd build
qmake CONFIG+=release PREFIX=/usr ..
make -jX
make INSTALL_ROOT=/package_temp_path install
