A simple bridge between colord and X. It does the following tasks:
The primary goal of xiccd is providing color profile support for desktop environments other than Gnome and KDE (Xfce, LXDE, and probably others) that don't support native color management yet.
It does basically the same as the gnome-settings-daemon
color plugin
or colord-kde
but doesn't depend on any particular desktop.
It doesn't even depend on GTK so it doesn't create a unnecessary GTK3
dependency if the desktop environment is GTK2-based or vice versa.
Xiccd depends only on:
And to build, the following are required:
You can install all of the above with the commands:
# For Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives:
apt install build-essential libglib2.0-dev libcolord-dev libxrandr-dev git
# For Arch, Manjaro, and derivatives:
pacman -S base-devel glib2 colord libxrandr git
Xiccd uses Autotools to build, so if you've checked out the source code
with git
, you'll probably need to generate the build scripts with the
following commands:
aclocal
autoconf
automake --add-missing --foreign
Once that's done, you'll be able to build and install the program with the traditional Make commands:
./configure
make
make install
which will install Xiccd into /usr/local
by default.
The usual conventions (PREFIX
, DESTDIR
, etc.) are respected.
