Building

With Gnome Builder

Should be as simple as opening the project and hitting run :)

Note: the included flatpak manifest is not ideal for development, it will work but it does not manage build caching properly.

Manually

Requires Rust (stable), GTK3, and a couple other things. Also requires libhandy1: it is not packaged on all distros at the moment, you might have to build it yourself.

Build dependencies on Ubuntu 20.04 for instance: build-essential pkg-config meson libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev-bin libgtk-3-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev.

Then, with meson:

meson target -Dbuildtype=debug -Doffline=false --prefix="$HOME/.local"
ninja -C target
