Roadmap

• random crashes
• synchronization issues

You'll need the following dependencies:

libglib2.0-dev
libgranite-dev
libgtk-3-dev
libcairo2-dev
libsoup-dev
xmlbird
meson
valac
gettext

Ubuntu 23.10

sudo apt install libglib2.0-dev libgranite-dev libgtk-3-dev libcairo2-dev meson valac libsoup2.4-dev libsoup-gnome2.4-dev libxmlbird-dev gettext

Run meson to configure the build environment and then ninja to build

meson setup build --prefix=/usr/local
ninja -C build

To install, use ninja install

ninja -C build install

And execute

Unit testing

The unit tests can be run on the build directory with the following command:

meson -Db_coverage=true build

ninja -C build test

Commands above are not working

ninja -C build coverage-text

ninja -C build coverage-html

Coverage

Coverage is currently broken on meson setup A workaround is to run coverage.sh

./coverage.sh
