Building from source code

Before building Spectrum from source code, you need to install the following dependencies:

libpoco – at least version 1.3.3
libpurple (part of the Pidgin project) version 2.6.0 or later.
Gloox – version 1.0
gettext
CMake

If you want to build also unit tests, you have to install CppUnit.

For SpectrumCtl (script for easier starting/stopping Spectrum instances), you have to have installed:

Python

Once you have these dependencies installed, you can get Spectrum’s source code:

git clone git://github.com/hanzz/spectrum.git

After you have downloaded the source code, you can build Spectrum:

cd spectrum cmake . make sudo make install
