Build
Dependencies
Assuming you already have all the usual building tools installed (e.g. gcc, python, meson, ninja, etc.), you still need:
- libx11
- libx11-xcb
- libXext
- xproto
- xcb
- xcb-damage
- xcb-xfixes
- xcb-shape
- xcb-renderutil
- xcb-render
- xcb-randr
- xcb-composite
- xcb-image
- xcb-present
- xcb-xinerama
- xcb-glx
- pixman
- libdbus (optional, disable with the
-Ddbus=falsemeson configure flag) - libconfig (optional, disable with the
-Dconfig_file=falsemeson configure flag) - libGL, libEGL (optional, disable with the
-Dopengl=falsemeson configure flag) - libpcre2 (optional, disable with the
-Dregex=falsemeson configure flag) - libev
- uthash
On Debian based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu), the needed packages are
libxext-dev libxcb1-dev libxcb-damage0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-render0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-image0-dev libxcb-present-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libpixman-1-dev libdbus-1-dev libconfig-dev libgl-dev libegl-dev libpcre2-dev libevdev-dev uthash-dev libev-dev libx11-xcb-dev meson
On Fedora, the needed packages are
dbus-devel gcc git libconfig-devel libdrm-devel libev-devel libX11-devel libX11-xcb libXext-devel libxcb-devel libGL-devel libEGL-devel meson pcre2-devel pixman-devel uthash-devel xcb-util-image-devel xcb-util-renderutil-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel
To build the documents, you need asciidoc
To build
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build
Built binary can be found in build/src
If you have libraries and/or headers installed at non-default location (e.g. under /usr/local/), you might need to tell meson about them, since meson doesn't look for dependencies there by default.
You can do that by setting the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS environment variables when running meson. Like this:
$ LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libraries" CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/headers" meson --buildtype=release . build
As an example, on FreeBSD, you might have to run meson with:
$ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" meson --buildtype=release . build
$ ninja -C build
To install
$ ninja -C build install
Default install prefix is /usr/local, you can change it with meson configure -Dprefix=<path> build
How to Contribute
Code
You can look at the Projects page, and see if there is anything that interests you. Or you can take a look at the Issues.
Non-code
Even if you don't want to contribute code, you can still contribute by compiling and running this branch, and report any issue you can find.
Contributions to the documents and wiki will also be appreciated.
