Build

Install dependencies:

  sudo make depends

Build the application:

  git clone 0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn && cd bitmask-vpn
  make build

You need at least go 1.11. If you have something older and are using ubuntu, you can do:

  make install_go

For other situations, have a look at https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Ubuntu or https://golang.org/dl/

OSX

Using homebrew:

  git clone 0xacab.org/leap/bitmask-vpn && cd bitmask-vpn
  make depends
  make build

Running tests

  sudo apt install qml-module-qttest
  make test
  make test_ui

TODO: move this to developer docs

The translations are done in transifex. To help us contribute your translations there and/or review the existing ones: https://www.transifex.com/otf/bitmask/RiseupVPN/

When a string has being modified you need to regenerate the locales:

  make generate_locales

To fetch the translations from transifex and rebuild the catalog.go (API_TOKEN is the transifex API token):

  API_TOKEN='xxxxxxxxxxx' make locales

There is some bug on gotext and the catalog.go generated doesn't have a package, you will need to edit cmd/bitmask-vpn/catalog.go and to have a package main at the beginning of the file.

If you want to add a new language create the folder locales/$lang before running make locales.
