Huggle 3 is an anti-vandalism tool for use on Wikipedia and other MediaWiki sites, written in C++ (QT framework). It is officially supported for Windows (2000 or newer), MacOS and Linux (debian/ubuntu).

Building

IMPORTANT: Since 3.1.19 you must download submodules in folder libs using git:

git submodule init
git submodule update

If you did not download this repository using git, there should be a guide on where you can download the libraries from in the respective folders.

Libraries and tools you need to have to build:

• C++11 compiler
• CMake 2.8.9 or higher is required
• QT5 sdk (recommended 5.7 or newer, with WebEngine and QJSEngine)

[NEW] It is now possible to use a VirtualBox VM as a portable development environment for Huggle. » Wiki page

WebKit vs Chromium

Qt5.0 - Qt5.4 supports WebKit, which is a default backend for Huggle. Newer Qt support only Chromium backend (code named WebEngine)

If you want to build Huggle with Qt newer than 5.4 you will have to enable it like this:

./configure --web-engine

Or alternatively if you are starting cmake by hand, just pass it -DWEB_ENGINE=true parameter

Documentation

For developers: source code documentation and the repo's Wiki are available.
