Linux Build/Install

Building

1. Ensure the proper dependencies are met
   1. Ensure QT5 is installed on your system. On Arch, the needed packages are qt5-base and qt5-multimedia
   2. Optionally install noto-fonts to be able to properly see Unicode symbols in the alarm list widget
2. In the terminal, type qmake. This will create a Makefile
3. Type make

Installing

1. Copy the qtalarm binary into /usr/bin (sudo cp qtalarm /usr/bin).
2. Inside of the source code directory, there is a directory called "Icons." These icons need to be copied with the following commands:
   • sudo cp 1349069370_Alarm_Clock.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/
   • sudo cp Icons/1349069370_Alarm_Clock24.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/1349069370_Alarm_Clock.png
   • sudo cp 1349069370_Alarm_Clock16.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/1349069370_Alarm_Clock.png
3. Last step. We need to create a "Desktop Entry" file to include QTalarm in your systems list of programs. Save the following text into a file called qtalarm.desktop located here /usr/share/applications/qtalarm.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Value=1.0
Type=Application
Name=QTalarm
GenericName=QTalarm
Comment= A nifty alarm clock written in QT
Icon=1349069370_Alarm_Clock.png
Exec=qtalarm
Categories=Application;Utility;

4. QTalarm Should now be installed.

Waybar users

It is possible to configure QTalarm to launch when clicking on the waybar clock. Such a configuration would launch the application each time the clock was clicked. Normally, when QTalarm has a second instance the duplicate process will shutdown and the main window would be shown on the original process. Configuring waybar to run QTalarm with the --toggleOnDup flag should force the application to toggle its main window when a duplicate process is launched.
