PoBFrontend

A cross-platform Path of Building driver.

Building

Dependencies:

• Qt5
• luajit
• zlib
• opengl
• lua-curl (see below)
• Bitstream-Vera and Liberation TTF fonts. Will work without these but most likely look terrible.

Build dependencies:

• meson
• pkg-config
• ninja (optional, can tell meson to generate makefiles if you prefer)

Build Lua-Curl:

You need to build Lua-Curl for luajit.

Edit the Lua-Curl Makefile:

Run make. You should get lcurl.so.

Get the PoBFrontend sources:

git clone https://github.com/philroberts/pobfrontend.git

Build:

meson -Dbuildtype=release pobfrontend build
cd build
ninja

Run the thing:

cd /path/to/PathOfBuilding # <- a pathofbuilding git clone
for f in tree*.zip; do unzip $f;done # <- use the provided tree data because reasons
unzip runtime-win32.zip lua/xml.lua lua/base64.lua lua/sha1.lua
mv lua/*.lua .
rmdir lua
cp /path/to/lcurl.so . # our lcurl.so from earlier
/path/to/build/pobfrontend

You can adjust the font size up or down with a command line argument:

pobfrontend -2

Notes:

I have the following edit in my PathOfBuilding clone, stops it from saving builds even when I tell it not to:

OS X

On mac you need to invoke meson with some extra flags, per the luajit documentation:

LDFLAGS="-pagezero_size 10000 -image_base 100000000" meson pobfrontend build
