### Using spectrum repository

To use the repositories, just add the following lines to `/etc/apt/sources.list`:

### Building packages for different distributions/architectures

At now we do not have resources to support all different debian-based distributions and/or architectures, but you always can create packages for desired distribution yourself.

All required files for building Spectrum debian packages are present in the `packaging/debian` directory of spectrum Git repository. Most of required dependencies should be in the main Debian/Ubuntu repositories, except:

1. Swiften - the old Swiften library used by Spectrum is present in stable [Debian](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libswiften-dev) and [Ubuntu LTS](http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libswiften-dev) but may be missing in unstable/rolling Debian/Ubuntu trees. However, you can use their own [Debian/Ubuntu repository](https://github.com/hanzz/spectrum2/blob/master/.travis.yml#L10) or create packages yourself using the same method described here for Spectrum :)

2. Communi - this library is unavailable in Debian/Ubuntu, but we provide a special [repository](https://github.com/vitalyster/libcommuni-gbp) from which you can build libcommuni

#### Packaging for your current distribution

[TBD]

#### Creating package for different debian-based distro

We will show how to build Spectrum for the popular [Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/) (or any similar) ARM-based machine with Debian-based distribution installed on it

[TBD]

Prerequisites

=============

1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express or higher edition (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express)

2. Git for Windows (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list)

3. CMake 2.8 or newer (http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html)

4. Python 2.x for Swiften build scripts (scons) (http://www.python.org)

Libraries

=========

3. Swiften library (http://swift.im/git/swift)

4. Boost 1.48 or newer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.49.0/)

5. Google ProtoBuf library (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list)

Environment

===========

To create spectrum build environment do:

0. Create directory where we'll install all dependencies, e.g. C:\env-msvc-x64.

Create C:\env-msvc-x64\bin and add it to %PATH%.

Assuming you have git, python and cmake in %PATH%, 

launch "Visual Studio 2010 command prompt" or

"Visual Studio 2010(x64) command prompt", depends on your target (Windows x86 or Windows x86_64).

1. unpack and build boost libraries:

	bootstrap.bat

	b2.exe --without-mpi --without-python

	b2.exe --without-mpi --without-python install --prefix=C:\env-msvc-x64 release

2. clone swift repository and build it. Don't forget to point it to our env directory:

	git clone git://swift.im/swift

	cd swift

	echo boost_includedir="c:/env-msvc-x64/include/boost-1_49" > config.py

	echo boost_libdir="c:/env-msvc-x64/lib" >> config.py 

	scons.bat debug=no SWIFTEN_INSTALLDIR=C:\env-msvc-x64 force_configure=1

	scons.bat debug=no SWIFTEN_INSTALLDIR=C:\env-msvc-x64 C:\env-msvc-x64

3. unpack and compile protobuf as described in its documentation. 

Run extract_includes.bat in vsprojects/ directory and move resulting vsprojects/include/google/ directory to our C:\env-msvc-x64\include

Move protoc.exe to C:\env-msvc-x64\bin\ and libprotobuf.lib to C:\env-msvc-x64\lib

4. Install gtkmm

Download installer from https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/MSWindows and install gtkmm into C:\env-msvc-x64\

5. Install libpurple headers

Download http://www.pidgin.im/download/source/ , extract it and copy libpurple directory in C:\env-msvc-x64\include

6. You're ready! :) Clone libtransport into C:\env-msvc-x64\libtransport (You *must* clone it into this directory, because libtransport will try to find the dependencies in ../lib and ../include)

Compile it as:

	set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\env-msvc-x64\include

	cmake . -G "NMake Makefiles" -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=../include/boost-1_49 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=../lib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\env-msvc-x64 -DGIT_EXECUTABLE="c:\Program Files (x86)\git\bin\git.exe"

	nmake
