|
|
|
### 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=false` meson configure flag)
|
|
* libconfig (optional, disable with the `-Dconfig_file=false` meson configure flag)
|
|
* libGL (optional, disable with the `-Dopengl=false` meson configure flag)
|
|
* libpcre (optional, disable with the `-Dregex=false` meson 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 libgl1-mesa-dev libpcre2-dev libpcre3-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 mesa-libGL-devel meson pcre-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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" meson --buildtype=release . build
|
|
$ ninja -C build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### To install
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
$ ninja -C build install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Default install prefix is `/usr/local`, you can change it with `meson configure -Dprefix=<path> build`
|
