Build Qt License Service from sources

As an alternative to installing Qt License Service manually, you can also build Qt License Service from sources.

Prerequisites

First, install the following tools:

Linux macOS Windows

CMake
build-essential
libuuid

To install them, run the following command:

sudo apt install cmake build-essential uuid-dev

Xcode
CMake

CMake
Perl
Netwide Assembler (NASM)
OpenSSL (latest 3.x version, static build)
- Build OpenSSL before building Qt License Service
  1. Ensure Perl and NASM are available in your PATH.
  2. Fetch the sources from the OpenSSL website.
    - Extract the sources to C:\openssl\.
  3. Configure the sources for a static build:
    - In the developer command prompt for the MSVC version you are using, change directory to the extracted sources:
      cd C:\openssl\
    - Run the configure script:
      perl Configure no-shared no-pinshared
  4. Build OpenSSL:
    - In the developer command prompt, run:
      nmake
Microsoft Windows SDK
MSVC

Building

To build Qt License Service from sources:

Linux macOS Windows

Set the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR variable to point to the OpenSSL installation:
```
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=</path/to/your/openssl/installation>
```
In the project root folder, run the build script:
```
./build_unix.sh
```

Set the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR variable to point to the OpenSSL installation:
```
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=</path/to/your/openssl/installation>
```
In the project root folder, run the build script:
```
./build_unix.sh
```

Set the OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR variable to point to the OpenSSL installation:
```
set OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=C:\openssl\
```
In the project root folder, run the build script:
```
build_windows.bat
```
If the default CMake generator does not match the desired Visual Studio version, add the Visual Studio version as a parameter to the build script:
```
build_windows.bat "Visual Studio 17 2022"
```

Configuration

Configure the server address as described in Configure the server address.

Note: If you build Qt License Service from sources, the qtlicd.ini file is in the deploy directory created during the build process.

After configuring the server address, copy the Qt License Service files to the destination path:

Linux macOS Windows

Go to the <project root>/deploy directory:
```
cd <project root>/deploy
```
Copy the files:
```
mkdir $HOME/qtlicd
```
```
cp *.* $HOME/qtlicd/
```

Go to the <project root>/deploy directory:
```
cd <project root>/deploy
```
Copy the files:
```
mkdir $HOME/qtlicd
```
```
cp *.* $HOME/qtlicd/
```

Go to the <project root>\deploy directory:
```
cd <project root>\deploy
```

Copy the files:

mkdir C:\"Program Files"\qtlicd

copy *.* C:\"Program Files"\qtlicd\
