# Brewtarget
Brewtarget is free open-source brewing software, and a beer recipe creation
tool available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. It automatically calculates color,
bitterness, and other parameters for you while you drag and drop ingredients
into the recipe. Brewtarget also has many other tools such as priming sugar
calculators, OG correction help, and a unique mash designing tool. It also can
export and import recipes in BeerXML, allowing you to easily share recipes with
friends who use BeerSmith or other programs. All of this means that Brewtarget
is your single, free, go-to tool when crafting your beer recipes.

## Compiling and Installing
### Dependencies
Most of these can be satisfied by installing qt and a compiler.
* libc6 (>= 2.14)
* libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1)
* libphonon4 (>= 4:4.2.0)
* libqt4-network (>= 4:4.5.3)
* libqt4-sql (>= 4:4.5.3)
* libqt4-svg (>= 4:4.5.3)
* libqt4-xml (>= 4:4.5.3)
* libqt4-xmlpatterns (>= 4:4.5.3)
* libqtcore4 (>= 4:4.8.0)
* libqtgui4 (>= 4:4.8.0)
* libqtwebkit4 (>= 2.2~2011week36)
* libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0)
* phonon
* libqt4-sql-sqlite
### Build Dependencies
* cmake (>= 2.8)
* autotools-dev
* libqt4-dev
* qt4-qmake
* libphonon-dev
* libqtwebkit-dev
* sqlite3
### Compiling
$ mkdir /tmp/brewtarget-build
$ cd /tmp/brewtarget-build
$ cmake /path/to/brewtarget
$ make
### Installing
Linux-like systems may simply do:
$ sudo make install
Systems that use .deb or .rpm packages may also create a package first:
$ make package
Then either
$ sudo dpkg -i brewtarget*.deb
or
$ sudo rpm -i brewtarget*.rpm
On Mac and Windows environments, the `package` target will create an installer
that may be executed to finish the installation.
### Make targets
* `make package`
Makes .deb, .rpm, and .tar.bz2 binary packages.
* `make package_source`
Makes a .tar.bz2 source package.
* `make source_doc`
Makes html documentation of the source in doc/html.
* `make translations`
If the cmake option `UPDATE_TRANSLATIONS` is set, updates the `*.ts` files
and creates .qm files. Otherwise, just creates .qm files from `*.ts` files.
### Cmake options
These options are passed to `cmake` with the `-D` flag before compiling. For
example:
$ cmake /path/to/brewtarget -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DDO_RELEASE_BUILD=ON
* `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` - `/usr/local` by default. Set this to `/usr` on
Debian-based systems like Ubuntu.
* `BUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGINS` - `OFF` by default. If set to `ON`, builds the Qt Designer
plugins instead of brewtarget.
* `DO_RELEASE_BUILD` - `OFF` by default. If `ON`, will do a release build.
Otherwise, debug build.
* `ENABLE_PROFILING` - `OFF` by default. If `ON`, builds with
profiling compiler flags.
* `NO_PHONON` - `OFF` by default. If `ON`, does not build any Phonon code.
* `NO_MESSING_WITH_FLAGS` - `OFF` by default. `ON` means do not add any build
flags whatsoever. May override other options.
