The binary is not needed to compile and run polybar with pulseaudio
support. Though of course there is no use in having a pulse module when
you don't have pulseaudio installed.
As the kernel documentation said:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight
This file will also show the brightness level stored in the driver, which may not be the actual brightness (see actual_brightness).
Therefore the brightness value should be read in the actual_brightness file.
Fix#1180
This patch enables support for nl80211. In case the libnl-genl-3.0
library isn't found, it will fall back to Wext instead.
The library to use can also be manually set with the CMake option
WITH_LIBNL.
The Wireless-Extensions (WE or Wext) are deprecated and long replaced
by cfg80211.
Although Wext isn't used by WiFi drivers anymore, CFG80211_WEXT allows
old tools to communicate with modern drivers by providing a wrapper
API.
The only reason polybar couldn't build without xkb is because the
xkeyboard module's source file was not removed during compilation.
xkeyboard already has an entry in unsupported.hpp
This effectively makes xcb-util-xkb optional
Following [1] to get to this setup.
We setup all the ccache configuration before calling project() because
project will perform compiler checks. This is also why we can't use
message_colored here and print the colors manually
Before ENABLE_CCACHE was not yet defined when we reached the check in
01-core because the option was defined in 02-opts
