Prebuilt binaries

Download a pre-built executable binary below and follow instructions. Supported firmwares: 3.60, 3.61, 3.65-3.72

• For Windows get the latest release
  • if you have not installed USB driver for PS Vita: install QcmaDriver_winusb.exe (also on the releases page)
• For macOS, the last pre-built release is v1.5
• For linux openSUSE
  1. add a home repository to your local software repositories:
     • sudo addrepo -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/seilerphilipp/openSUSE_Leap_15.0/
     • note: if using Leap 42.3, replace the version in the url with 42.3
  2. install package
     • sudo zypper install finalhe
  3. Run "FinalHE"
     • in your terminal type FinalHE

Build from source

Prerequisites

1. macOS: install brew, install libusb, pkg-config & qt through brew (brew install libusb pkg-config qt5)
   • Add qt to your path echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
   • Add qt5 related environment variables to your zsh profile export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib" >> ~/.zshrc && export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/include" >> ~/.zshcr && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5/lib/pkgconfig" >> ~/.zshrc
   • Allow the changes to your profile to take effect source ~/.zshrc
2. macOS using build script:
   • change into the projects root directory and execute the macOSBuildScript.sh script: ./macOSBuildScript.sh
   • The script will attempt to install all needed dependencies then build the project. After the build is done, it will ask the user if they want to run FinalHE or not.
3. Linux:
   • Debian/Ubuntu: install build-essential, libxml2-dev, libusb-dev, libusb-1.0-0-dev, zlib-dev or zlib1g-dev, qtbase5-dev, qttools5, cmake(if use cmake to build)
   • Fedora/CentOS: group install "Development Tools", install libxml2-devel, libusb-devel, zlib-devel, qt5-qtbase-devel, qt5-qtbase, cmake3(if use cmake to build)
   • openSUSE: install cmake >= 11.0, gcc-c++, zlib-devel, libxml2-devel, libQt5Widgets-devel, libQt5Network-devel, libqt5-linguist-devel, libusb-compat-devel
   • Arch: install base-devel, libxml2, libusb, zlib, qt5, cmake (if using cmake to build)

Build from source

You can choose either qmake or cmake to build

• cmake: run cmake to generate Makefile for compiling
  • macOS: it cannot produce app bundle, and you need to specify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH if Qt is not installed in default location: cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<Path of Qt Root> <Path of Project Root>
• qmake: run qmake to generate Makefile for compiling, run make lcopy in src folder to compile translations and copy them to binary folder

Contribute translations

• For coders using Qt:
  1. If using qmake, add your language to this line in src/src.pro: TRANSLATIONS += ..., and re-generate Makefile from qmake, then run make lupdate in src folder, you will get new generated .ts files in src/languages
  2. If using cmake, add your language to this line in src/CMakeLists.txt: set(TRANSLATION_FILES ..., and re-generate Makefile/project from cmake, compile it, you will get new generated .ts files in src/languages
  3. Open .ts files with Qt Linquist tool and translate strings into native language
  4. If using qmake, run make lcopy in src folder and you will get compiled .qm files in languages folder
  5. If using cmake, compile the project and you will get compiled .qm files in language folder
• For non-coders:
  1. Copy translations/en_US.ts to a new file with filename in IETF language tag form (but replace "-" with "_")
  2. Open the .ts file, it is just in xml format, go through all elements of <translation type="unfinished"> to translate, and remove the property type="unfinished" from translated items
