+====== Building owncloud client for Raspberry pi's raspbian ======
+~~socialite~~
+I use my Raspberry pi as an owncloud client to synchronize my NAS and my server. Unfortunately, the official package is not up-to-date so I have to build it by myself.
+**Update!**: this page has been updated for client 2.3.2.
+**DISCLAIMER :!:** Tested on raspbian jessie on raspi 1 and 3. Feedback welcome on twitter.
+**Note:** if you need a newer version of the client, just tweet me [[https://twitter.com/sgripon|@sgripon]].
+===== Download binaries =====
+If you don't want to compile by yourself, you can get the debian package installer from [[http://pub.sgripon.net/owncloud-client/rpi/]] (tested on raspberry pi 1) or [[http://pub.sgripon.net/owncloud-client/rpi3/]] (tested on raspberry pi 3).
+To install:
+  sudo dpkg -i owncloud-client-2.3.2_armhf.deb
+If there are missing dependencies, this command should automatically install all:
+  sudo apt-get install -f
+If not, you should be able to install manually missing packages with apt-get.
+===== ppa =====
+I also experiment ppa. You can try it by adding my ppa to the source.list. Add line:
+  deb http://pub.sgripon.net ppa/
+to /etc/apt/sources.list
+Then:
+  sudo apt-get update
+  sudo apt-get install owncloud-client
+===== Raspberry pi emulator =====
+I use raspberry pi emulator to build owncloud. See [[raspberry_pi_emulator|Raspberry pi emulator]]. This is to avoid too much writing on SD card and breaking it too quickly.
+===== Build =====
+Most of the build instructions are from owncloud official website (http://doc.owncloud.org/desktop/2.2/building.html) with some adjustments for RPI.
+Get owncloud client sources from official web site here: https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/stable/owncloudclient-2.3.2.tar.xz.
+This tutorial assumes that the work is done on raspbian in folder /home/pi/dev/owncloud-client. If not, change all paths.
+On your pi:
+<code bash>
+  cd /home/pi/dev/owncloud-client
+</code>
+Some dependencies are necessary to build the two packages.
+<code bash>
+  sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
+  sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
+  sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libqtkeychain0 qtkeychain-dev libqt4-sql-sqlite
+</code>
+You will need to install cmake if not already done to build both:
+<code bash>
+  sudo apt-get install cmake
+</code>
+===== Let's build =====
+The following script downloads and builds the source code (remove download command (//wget//) if already done). The script must be invoked with the desired client version:
+  ./oc-build.sh 2.3.2
+The script should work for future versions unless ownlcoud changes files naming.
+<file bash oc-build.sh>
+#!/bin/sh
+# Download and extract source from official website
+if [ ! -f owncloudclient-$1.tar.xz ]; then
+  wget https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/stable/owncloudclient-$1.tar.xz
+fi
+tar -xf owncloudclient-$1.tar.xz
+# Build
+mkdir client-build
+cd client-build
+cmake -DWITH_DOC=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ../owncloudclient-$1
+make
+</file>
+Then, installation. The following script must be run as root:
+<code bash>
+sudo ./oc-install.sh 2.3.2
+</code>
+<file bash oc-install.sh>
+#!/bin/sh
+cd client-build
+# Prepare a redistribuable package
+make package
+make install
+# It seems that libocsync and libowncloudsync shared libraries must be installed manually:
+cp csync/src/libocsync.so.$1 /usr/local/lib
+cp src/libsync/libowncloudsync.so.$1 /usr/local/lib
+ldconfig
+</file>
+===== Build a debian package =====
+In /home/pi/dev/owncloud-client, create a deb folder:
+  cd /home/pi/dev/owncloud-client
+  mkdir -p deb/owncloud-client
+First thing is to copy all needed files to this new folder. We are lucky, the "make install" command has produced a file with all files installed, so it can be used with rsync:
+  cd deb/owncloud-client
+  rsync  --files-from /home/pi/dev/owncloud-client/client-build/install_manifest.txt / .
+Add also libraries installed manually:
+  cp /usr/local/lib/libocsync.so.2.3.2 usr/local/lib
+  cp /usr/local/lib/libowncloudsync.so.2.3.2 usr/local/lib
+Then, follow tutorial [[How To Build a Debian Package]].
+The full script to build the debian package:
+<file bash oc-build-deb.sh>
+#!/bin/sh
+DIR=`pwd`
+mkdir -p deb/owncloud-client
+cd deb/owncloud-client
+rsync --files-from $DIR/client-build/install_manifest.txt / .
+cp /usr/local/lib/libocsync.so.$1 usr/local/lib
+cp /usr/local/lib/libowncloudsync.so.$1 usr/local/lib
+mkdir DEBIAN

+Description: GUI app to sync a folder to ownCloud
+ Specify one ore more directories on the local machine to sync your ownCloud
+ server, and always have your latest files wherever you are. Make a change to
+ the files on one computer, it will flow across the others using these desktop
+ sync clients.

+chmod 0755 DEBIAN/postinst
+# Build package
+cd $DIR/deb
+dpkg-deb --build owncloud-client
+# Rename package
+mv owncloud-client.deb owncloud-client-$1_armhf.deb
+</file>
+Must be invoked as sudo with version number as argument:
+  sudo ./oc-build-deb.sh 2.3.2
+===== Launch at startup =====
+If you want to launch owncloud client automatically at startup, just add this line:
+  @owncloud
+at the end of ///etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart//
+Note that owncloud client needs a graphical session to be launched so if you want to launch the client at raspi boot, it must be configured to start X automatically.
+===== Older Versions =====
+Older versions can have a different build sequence:
+  * [[building_owncloud_client_for_raspberry_pi_170|Owncloud client 1.7.0]]
