Multiup MaNaGeR is a software written in Qt/C++ that can send files to the multiupload website : multiup.io.
The operation is simple: You upload a file on our server, this one is uploaded automatically,
on several hosting-file websites. At the end, you get a link like:
https://multiup.io/download/RANDOM_NUMBERS/FILE_NAME,
where you will be able to see and download your file on various hosting-file websites.
You should have Qt 5 libraries installed on your system. Releases that contain all dependencies are available here.
Then, just execute multiup binary.
Simple command line options are available:
$ multiup --login [account_name] --password [password] --read [files]
If you are more insterested by a full command line program, take a look at multiup-cli.
You can configure your multiup.io account and get your links online.
For the translations, have a look at Translations chapter.
Settings of the application, once saved, are stored in a config.ini file, which is on the same
directory as the executable on Windows, and in ~/Multiupv2/ directory on GNU/Linux.
Example of config.ini:
[compression]
output_path=/media/windows
password=v3Ry_s3cR3t_p455w0rD
rar_binary_path=C:/Program Files/WinRAR/Rar.exe
[login]
password=louisXVI
username=macron
[misc]
check_update=true
Note: If you want to use native Windows paths with \ delimiter, you will have to escape
them with a second backslash (ex: C:\\my_directory. You can write them in a simpler way
like in the example, i.e. with slash delimiters.
The project is based on Qt 5.12.1 (at least, but should work starting 5.10).
It is VERY strongly recommended to build the application in a stable environment like MSYS2, and to use the same compiler for all parts of the project (qt, libcurl, openssl). If you do not follow these recommendations, hell will come your way.
Note about static linking: Note that we compile the application in static mode. You are free to use a shared version which will greatly simplify the process. Static mode compilations are not for the faint of heart and you could lose many days of your life :p MSYS2 provides Qt static binaries which saves you from having to compile the framework yourself (believe me you don't want to do that).
Some doc here:
libcurl is the only dependency, that must be compiled before Multiup MaNaGeR.
You should definitely read the insructions about it:
The packages of libcurl are here: https://curl.se/download.html. Currently, the versions 7.29 up to 7.88.1 has been tested successfully.
Minimal required MSYS2 packages for the whole project:
# Qt specific version was taken here: https://repo.msys2.org/mingw/mingw64/
pacman -U mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5-static-5.15.2-4-any.pkg.tar.zst
pacman -S make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
The build command of libcurl was:
./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --with-openssl --without-winssl --without-cyassl \
--without-gnutls --without-mbedtls --without-axtls --without-libpsl --without-libssh2 \
--without-librtmp --without-winidn --without-libidn2 --without-nghttp2 --disable-ldap \
--disable-ldaps --disable-unix-sockets --disable-manual --disable-gopher --disable-smtp \
--disable-smb --disable-imap --disable-pop3 --disable-tftp --disable-ftp --disable-telnet \
--disable-rtsp --disable-dict --disable-mqtt --disable-ntlm --disable-ntlm-wb --disable-tls-srp \
--without-brotli
make
# I personally avoid 'make install' to avoid conflicts with libcurl installed in msys environment...
At this point you should have a libcurl.a file which is required for static linking.
Now, edit the file multiupv2.pro to point to the folders containing the headers and the lib.
Then compile the project itself:
-
Via Qt Creator: Just load the multiupv2.pro in the IDE Qt Creator as a new project.
-
Manually:
# If required, update your path:
#set PATH=%PATH%;<path_to_QtSDK>\mingw\bin;<path_to_QtSDK>\Desktop\Qt\<Qt_version>\mingw\bin
#or in msys2:
#export PATH="/e/msys64/mingw64/bin:/e/msys64/mingw64/qt5-static/bin/:$PATH"
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../MultiupMaNaGeR/multiupv2.pro
make release
Note: Any help to simplify/update this process is appreciated !
The project is based on Qt 5.12.1 (at least, but should work starting 5.10).
Other requirements for Debian like systems: libcurl4-gnutls-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev
-
Via Qt Creator: Just load the multiupv2.pro in the IDE Qt Creator as a new project.
-
Manually:
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../multiupv2.pro
make
Take the release tarball (Ex: multiup-manager_0.4.5.orig.tar.gz),
then decompress it to the build directory:
mkdir build
tar -xf multiup-manager_0.4.5.orig.tar.gz -C build/
cd build
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
Get & install your .deb file:
dpkg -i ../multiup-manager_0.4.5-1_amd64.deb
You may have to change/delete the override_dh_shlibdeps directive of debian/rules
according to your installation of Qt framework (installed from system repositories
(remove it) or manually installed (update it)).
For GNU/Linux, just enter:
make release
And get the archives in ./poc/ folder.
For now, French (default), English and Spanish languages are supported.
Note : Anly help about this is appreciated !
Strings are translated using the Qt tools like lupdate, linguist & lrelease.
To update locales and translate them, in the current folder, execute :
make translations
Feel free to adapt these directives to support a new language.
