Building QtJsonDb from Git

Introduction

Todo.

System Requirements

QtJsonDb is one of the addons of Qt 5, hence before building qtjsondb you need to build dependent modules - qtbase, qtxmlpatterns, qtjsbackend and qtdeclarative. See Building_Qt_5_from_Git for more information.

At this moment the only supported platforms for qtjsondb are Linux and Mac OS X

Linux/X11

QtJsonDb depends on libedit and libicu(optionally):

QtJsonDb dependencies on Ubuntu/Debian:

<br />sudo apt-get install libedit-dev<br />sudo apt-get install libicu-dev<br />

QtJsonDb dependencies on Mandriva/ROSA/Unity:

<br />urpmi 'pkgconfig(libedit)'<br />urpmi 'pkgconfig(libicu)'<br />

Mac OS X

QtJsonDb depends on libicu(optionally).

Via "HomeBrew":http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

You need to have HomeBrew installed at first.

<br />brew install icu4c<br />

Via "MacPorts":http://www.macports.org/

<br />port install icu<br />

Getting the source code

First clone the QtJsonDb git repository(for example, under <code&gt;_{/dev/git&lt;/code&gt;):}

<br />git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtjsondb.git qtjsondb<br />

h3. Current temporary patch
Only for enable collation feature based on whether ICU header files are available or not on Mac.
h4. Mac OS X

For HomeBrew users, patch "this file&quot;:https://gist.github.com/2584990 or "download the patch directly&quot;:https://gist.github.com/gists/2584990/download .

<br />git am</sub>/Downloads/0001-tmp-patch-for-add-path-for-icu-on-mac-with-brew.patch<br />

For MacPorts users, patch "this file&quot;:https://gist.github.com/2659021 or "download the patch directly&quot;:https://gist.github.com/gists/2659021/download .

<br />git am <sub>/Downloads/0001-tmp-patch-for-add-path-for-icu-on-mac-with-macports.patch<br />

h2. Qmakeing and building

Now start to qmake and make a shadow build:

<br />mkdir</sub>/build/qtjsondb<br />cd <sub>/build/qtjsondb<br /></sub>/build/qt5/qtbase/bin/qmake -o Makefile <sub>/dev/git/qtjsondb/qtjsondb.pro<br />

If you have seen following output, then the ICU was enabled successfully:

<br />Configuration tests:<br /> icu: yes<br /> libedit: yes<br />

h2. How to run examples
Launch jsondb daemon in a terminal(the first):

<br />cd</sub>/dev/git/qtjsondb/examples/declarative<br /><sub>/build/qt5/qtbase/bin/jsondb<br />

Run the example code in another terminal(the second):

<br />cd</sub>/dev/git/qtjsondb/examples/declarative/simplelistmodel<br /><sub>/build/qt5/qtbase/bin/qmlscene ./simplelistmodel.qml<br />

If want to clean the db files after running(in the first terminal):

cd/dev/git/qtjsondb/examples/declarative
rm *.db
