4 ## Translating Minitube to your language
5 Translations are done at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/minitube/
6 Just register and apply for a language team. Please don't request translation merges on GitHub.
9 Google is now requiring an API key in order to access YouTube Data web services.
10 Create a "Browser Key" at https://console.developers.google.com
12 The key must be specified at compile time as shown below.
13 Alternatively Minitube can read an API key from the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable.
16 To compile Minitube you need at least Qt 5.0. The following Qt modules are needed: core, gui, widgets, network, sql (using the Sqlite plugin), declarative, dbus.
18 To be able to build on a Debian (or derivative) system:
20 $ sudo apt-get install build-essential qttools5-dev-tools qt5-qmake qtdeclarative5-dev libphonon4qt5-dev libqt5sql5-sqlite qt5-default
24 $ qmake "DEFINES += APP_GOOGLE_API_KEY=YourAPIKeyHere"
27 Beware of the Qt 4 version of qmake!
31 $ build/target/minitube
37 This is for packagers. End users should not install applications in this way.
39 ## A word about Phonon on Linux
40 To be able to actually watch videos you need a working Phonon setup.
41 Please don't report bugs about this, ask for help on your distribution support channels.
