Is libhandy-1/gee-0.8 the same as libhandy/gee? Do they need specific versions? Also, which deps are runtime and which deps are build?
Hi! Thanks for showing interest in my little project :) I wanted to create an AUR package when the project was finished, or at least in a version that would be useful for someone, since currently it is only an empty window hehe :sweat_smile:
If you want to create it, do it :D Just post a notice that it is currently in a very early stage of development and therefore many features may be missing (such as being able to even see a grid of videos)
Is libhandy-1/gee-0.8 the same as libhandy/gee?
gee-0.8
yes, it is the libgee
found in Arch repos, but libhandy-1
is not the one found in repos. libhandy-1
is a version that has not yet come out, so you should use libhandy-git
.
I'm using pkg-config names for the deps since I think that are more "distro agnostic" than package names. On Arch you can use pacman -Fy gee-0.8.pc
in order to know which package to use
Also, you will need to take a look at UTLib since I'm gonna use that library as the core of this project.
Also, which deps are runtime and which deps are build?
meson
is the build system => Build dep
vala
is the compiler => Build dep
sassc
is the compiler for sass files => Build dep
The rest are shared libraries, so they're runtime deps
If you need help with something, don't hesitate to ping me :)
Ah, I forgot, it is very possible that I will soon change the name of the project to one more consistent with the names used for GNOME apps, since the current one is inherited from a time when the project was intended to be a UWP app for Windows 10
If you have ideas for a name idea that fits with this article, tell me :D
Hi, I am looking into creating an AUR package for this. Would that be ok in it's current state of development, or would you want me to wait until it is stable?
