Installation Instructions
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Please follow the instructions below to build and install Taskwarrior from
|
|
source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You will need the CMake 3.0+ build system installed in order to build Taskwarrior
|
|
from source. More information on CMake can be obtained at https://cmake.org
|
|
|
|
You will also need:
|
|
- make
|
|
|
|
You will need a C++ compiler that supports full C++11, which includes:
|
|
- gcc 5.0 (released 2013-12-23)
|
|
- clang 3.4 (released 2014-01-02)
|
|
|
|
You will need the following libraries:
|
|
- libuuid (not needed for OSX)
|
|
- gnutls (can be optional - see '"sync" command' below)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic Installation
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Briefly, these shell commands will unpack, build and install Taskwarrior:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xzf task-X.Y.Z.tar.gz [1]
|
|
$ cd task-X.Y.Z [2]
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release . [3]
|
|
$ make [4]
|
|
$ sudo make install [5]
|
|
$ cd .. ; rm -r task-X.Y.Z [6]
|
|
|
|
These commands are explained below:
|
|
|
|
1. Unpacks the source tarball. This creates the directory task-X.Y.Z,
|
|
containing all the code.
|
|
|
|
2. Change directory to the root of the distribution.
|
|
|
|
3. Invokes CMake to scan for dependencies and machine-specific details, then
|
|
generate the makefiles. Requests an optimized build, which will run faster
|
|
and be more compact. This may take a minute.
|
|
|
|
4. Builds Taskwarrior. This may take a minute.
|
|
|
|
5. Installs the program, documentation and other data files.
|
|
|
|
6. Removes the temporary directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build and configurations options
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can customize the configuration run with cmake variables. This will modify
|
|
the installation process:
|
|
|
|
To change the installation directory you use the following configuration
|
|
variable:
|
|
|
|
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path-to-installation-dir> .
|
|
|
|
cmake configuration variables are applied with the -D option and consist of a
|
|
<name> and a <value>:
|
|
|
|
$ cmake -D<name>=<value> .
|
|
|
|
Four more variables can customize the installation process. The following table
|
|
lists them and their defaults plus the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:
|
|
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /usr/local
|
|
TASK_BINDIR bin
|
|
TASK_DOCDIR share/doc/task
|
|
TASK_RCDIR share/doc/task/rc
|
|
TASK_MAN1DIR share/man/man1
|
|
TASK_MAN5DIR share/man/man5
|
|
|
|
The corresponding TASK_* variables will be combined with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to
|
|
get absolute installation directories:
|
|
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/TASK_BINDIR /usr/local/bin
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/TASK_DOCDIR /usr/local/share/doc/task
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/TASK_RCDIR /usr/local/share/doc/task/rc
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/TASK_MAN1DIR /usr/local/share/man/man1
|
|
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/TASK_MAN5DIR /usr/local/share/man/man5
|
|
|
|
|
|
"sync" command
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
By default, GnuTLS support is required, which enables the "sync" command.
|
|
For Debian based distributions, installing "libgnutls-dev" is sufficient.
|
|
|
|
In order to build Taskwarrior without "sync" support, call cmake with the
|
|
"-DENABLE_SYNC=OFF" flag:
|
|
|
|
$ cmake . -DENABLE_SYNC=OFF
|
|
|
|
and proceed as described in "Basic Installation".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Uninstallation
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
There is no uninstall option in CMake makefiles. This is a manual process.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall Taskwarrior, remove the files listed in the install_manifest.txt
|
|
file that was generated when you built Taskwarrior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Taskwarrior Build Notes
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Taskwarrior has dependencies that are detected by CMake in almost all cases, but
|
|
there are situations and operating systems that mean you will need to offer a
|
|
little help.
|
|
|
|
If Taskwarrior will not build on your system, first take a look at the Operating
|
|
System notes below. If this doesn't help, then go to the Troubleshooting
|
|
section, which includes instructions on how to contact us for help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Operating System Notes
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Cygwin
|
|
If 'make install' fails when writing to the /usr/local/share/ directory,
|
|
this may be because your current login doesn't have permission to write
|
|
to the Windows directory containing your Cygwin installation. Either
|
|
login to Windows as an Administrator and try the 'make install' process
|
|
again, or reinstall Cygwin under your normal Windows login.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Darwin, 32bit
|
|
Taskwarrior needs to be built from source, and use this configure command:
|
|
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-m32 -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m32 -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-m32 .
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD
|
|
In order to build Taskwarrior 2.4.2+, you might need to install a newer GCC
|
|
version from ports or packages.
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, run
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=eg++ .
|
|
|
|
and build normally.
|
|
|
|
See: https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior/issues/1605
|
|
|
|
WASM
|
|
Using the Emscripten compiler, you can achieve it like this:
|
|
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=emcc -DENABLE_SYNC=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DENABLE_WASM=ON \
|
|
-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-m32 -s NO_DYNAMIC_EXECUTION=1 -s WASM=1 -s NO_EXIT_RUNTIME=1 -s INVOKE_RUN=0" \
|
|
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE="-O2 -m32"
|
|
|
|
This will produce an optimized WASM with a main() that is callable multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
If you've recently made changes to dependencies (by reinstalling them, for
|
|
example) be sure to rerun 'cmake .' before trying to execute 'make' again.
|
|
|
|
CMake will run and locate all the necessary pieces for the build, and create
|
|
a Makefile. There may be errors and warnings when running CMake, or there
|
|
may be compiler errors and warnings when running 'make'. Sometimes you will run
|
|
CMake with no reported problems, and the build will fail later. This is
|
|
almost always because CMake is mistaken about some assumption.
|
|
|
|
If a build does not succeed, please send the contents of the 'CMakeCache.txt'
|
|
and 'CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log' files to support@gothenburgbitfactory.org.
|
|
|
|
If CMake runs but Taskwarrior does not build, please send the contents of the
|
|
above files as well as a transcript from the build, which is not written to a
|
|
file and must be captured from the terminal.
