Building Robo 3T (Mac OS X and Linux)

A. Prerequisites

  1. Modern Compiler
    A modern and complete C++11 compiler. One of the following is required:
GCC 5.3.0  
Clang 3.4 (or Apple XCode 5.1.1 Clang) or newer
  1. Install CMake (3.2 or later)
  2. Install Scons (2.4 or later)
  3. Install Qt 5.7
Example installation for MAC OSX and Ubuntu:
  Go to http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.7/5.7.0/
  Download, run and install 
    qt-opensource-mac-x64-clang-5.7.0.dmg (for MAC OSX) 
    qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.7.0.run (for Linux)
  After successful installation you should have 
    /path/to/qt-5.7.0/5.7/clang_64 (for MAC OSX)
    /path/to/qt-5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64 (for Linux)

More information for installing on Ubuntu:
https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu
  1. Download and Build OpenSSL (1.0.1u) - (explained below in section B)

B. Building Robomongo and Dependencies

Step 1. Build OpenSSL (1.0.1u)

Steps to build OpenSSL on MAC:

Download openssl-1.0.1u (ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1u.tar.gz)
tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.1u.tar.gz
cd /Users/<user>/Downloads/openssl-1.0.1u
./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc shared --openssldir="@rpath"
make (or sudo make)
mkdir lib
cp libssl.1.0.0.dylib libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib lib/

Helper Commands

// to start fresh build
make clean

Steps to build OpenSSL on Linux:

Download openssl-1.0.1u (ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.1/openssl-1.0.1u.tar.gz)
tar -xvzf openssl-1.0.1u.tar.gz
cd /home/<user>/Downloads/openssl-1.0.1u
./config shared
make
mkdir lib
cp libssl* libcrypto* lib/

Step 2. Build Robomongo Shell (fork of MongoDB)

Clone Robomongo Shell and checkout to roboshell-v3.4 branch:

$ git clone https://github.com/paralect/robomongo-shell.git
$ cd robomongo-shell
$ git checkout roboshell-v3.4

Set special environment variable ROBOMONGO_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to point to a set of directories:

  1. Location of Qt 5 SDK
  2. Location of Robomongo Shell
  3. Location of OpenSSL

Separate directories by semicolon ; (not colon):

// MAC OSX example:
$ export ROBOMONGO_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/qt-5.7.0/5.7/clang_64;/path/to/robomongo-shell;/path/to/openssl-1.0.1u"
// Ubuntu example:
$ export ROBOMONGO_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/path/to/qt-5.7.0/5.7/gcc_64;/path/to/robomongo-shell;/path/to/openssl-1.0.1u"

Build Robomongo Shell:

$ bin/build

For more information refer to Building Robomongo Shell

Step 3. Build Robomongo

Download Robomongo:

$ git clone https://github.com/paralect/robomongo
$ cd robomongo

Run configuration step:

$ bin/configure

And finally, build Robomongo:

$ bin/build

To run robomongo:

$ bin/run

Helper commands

Clean build files (in order to start build from scratch):

$ bin/clean

Install Robomongo to build/release/install folder:

$ bin/install

Create package for your OS in build/release/package folder:

$ bin/pack

Important Notes

  • For Ubuntu 16.04 builds, it has been reported that Robomongo /bin/configure step might fail and installing mesa-common-dev package solves it. Details: https://github.com/paralect/robomongo/issues/1268

  • For Centos builds, Robomongo /bin/configure step might fail due to error: failed to find gl/gl.h. In this case, the following packages must be installed:

$ sudo yum install mesa-libGL
$ sudo yum install mesa-libGL-devel
