Tested on Ubuntu 12.04, Debian 7, and CentOS 6.5.

These instructions are derived from these links:

Download dependencies

  1. Install dependencies

    a. For Ubuntu and Debian

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install default-jdk pkg-config git subversion make gcc g++ python
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev

    b. For CentOS 6.5

    sudo yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel git subversion pkg-config make gcc gcc-c++ python
sudo yum install expat-devel gtk2-devel nss-devel openssl-devel
sudo wget http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/devtools-1.1.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d
sudo sh -c 'echo "enabled=1" >> /etc/yum.repos.d/devtools-1.1.repo'
sudo yum install devtoolset-1.1

  2. Download depot_tools for chromium repo

    mkdir libjingle; cd libjingle
git clone --depth 1 https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

  3. Set up environmental variables and prepare local environment

    a. For Ubuntu and Debian

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
export PATH="$(pwd)/depot_tools:$PATH"
export GYP_DEFINES="use_openssl=1"

    b. For CentOS 6.5

    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
export PATH="$(pwd)/depot_tools:$PATH"
export GYP_DEFINES="use_openssl=1"
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so.1.0 /usr/lib/
scl enable devtoolset-1.1 bash
    curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yyuu/pyenv-installer/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash
export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
yum install zlib-devel bzip2 bzip2-devel readline-devel sqlite sqlite-devel mysql-devel patch
pyenv install 2.7.9
pyenv local 2.7.9

  4. (Optional) For 32-bit compilation set target_arch

    export GYP_DEFINES="$GYP_DEFINES target_arch=ia32"

Download source code

  1. Configure gclient to download libjingle code

    gclient config --name=trunk http://webrtc.googlecode.com/svn/branches/3.52

  2. Download libjingle and dependencies (this may take a while). Ignore eror messages about pkg-config looking for gobject-2.0 gthread-2.0 gtk+-2.0

    gclient sync --force

    On CentOS, you will see some errors, ignore them

  3. Download ipop-tincan from github.com/ipop-project

    cd trunk/talk; mkdir ipop-project; cd ipop-project
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ipop-project/ipop-tap.git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ipop-project/ipop-tincan.git

  4. Return to libjingle trunk directory

    cd ../../

  5. Copy modified gyp files to trunk/talk directory

    rm -f DEPS all.gyp talk/libjingle.gyp talk/ipop-tincan.gyp
cp talk/ipop-project/ipop-tincan/build/ipop-tincan.gyp talk/
cp talk/ipop-project/ipop-tincan/build/libjingle.gyp talk/
cp talk/ipop-project/ipop-tincan/build/all.gyp .
cp talk/ipop-project/ipop-tincan/build/DEPS .

  6. Sync again to download OpenSSL from chromium repository

    gclient sync --force

Build ipop-tincan for Linux

  1. Generate ninja build files

    gclient runhooks --force

  2. Build tincan for linux (binary localed at out/Release/ipop-tincan)

    ninja -C out/Release ipop-tincan

  3. To build debug version with gdb symbols (but creates 25 MB binary)

    ninja -C out/Debug ipop-tincan

  4. The generated binary is located at out/Release/ipop-tincan or out/Debug/ipop-tincan

Download controllers

  1. Download SocialVPN and GroupVPN controllers

    wget http://github.com/ipop-project/controllers/raw/devel/src/ipoplib.py
wget http://github.com/ipop-project/controllers/raw/devel/src/svpn_controller.py
wget http://github.com/ipop-project/controllers/raw/devel/src/gvpn_controller.py
