How to compile

[hugoender]

First off thank you for all of the work you've done with Teslamate and Tesla Auth. Amazing!

I would like to compile your Tesla Auth code myself and then run it but alas I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how to carry out this task. I can use Mac, Windows, or RPi so whichever one of these platform is easiest will work. Would you be so kind as to let me know what I would need to do to compile your code and create the executable myself? Is it as simple as just downloading the three .rs files (auth, htime, and main) into a directory and then running rustc main.rs within that directory?

Thank you for your time and help.

UPDATE: I did some digging and learned some more about Rust (never worked with or heard of it before). I decided to install Rust on the same RPi that Teslamate is installed on.

Following the instructions here in the Rust docs (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch01-01-installation.html) I installed Rust and then Git, and then cloned this repo and ran cargo build. Let's see if it works.

UPDATE 2: Got the follower errors and build failed:

Not sure how to proceed from here.

Seems like I'm missing some dependencies but as I was trying to figure that out I realized that the Teslamate RPi install has no Desktop or GUI so running tesla_auth will not work (correct me if I'm wrong).

Therefore, I decided to build/compile tesla_auth on my Macbook and there it seems to work fine.

For completeness sake the following are the steps I took to get it working on my Macbook:

1. Installed rust: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
2. Cloned this repo: git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/tesla_auth.git
3. Went into the new tesla_auth directory: cd tesla_auth
4. Ran: cargo build
5. This will create a new "target" directory. CD into it: cd target
6. CD into debug directory: cd debug
7. Run tesla_auth: ./tesla_auth (don't forget the period in the front)
8. A new window should have opened with text fields for you to input your credentials.

Glad you figured it out! Building on macOS is probably the easiest. On Linux WebKitGTK is needed, e.g. for Debian based distributions the following packages have to be installed::webkit2gtk-4.0 libgtksourceview-3.0-dev libappindicator3-dev
