🏗️ Building from source

GNOME Builder

GNOME Builder is the environment used for developing this application. It can use Flatpak manifests to create a consistent building and running environment cross-distro. Thus, it is highly recommended you use it.

  1. Download GNOME Builder.
  2. In Builder, click the "Clone Repository" button at the bottom, using https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git as the URL.
  3. Click the build button at the top once the project is loaded.

Flatpak Builder

flatpak-builder is a wrapper around the flatpak build command that automates the building of applications and their dependencies. It uses Flatpak manifests to download and pack needed dependencies with compiled program into a single Flatpak image that can be later distributed or installed on your system. We recommend this method if you have problems with GNOME Builder.

Prerequisites

  • Flatpak Builder flatpak-builder
  • GNOME SDK runtime org.gnome.Sdk//44
  • GNOME Platform runtime org.gnome.Platform//44

Install required runtimes:

flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk//44 org.gnome.Platform//44

Build Instruction

User installation
git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git
cd Gradience
git submodule update --init --recursive
flatpak-builder --install --user --force-clean repo/ build-aux/flatpak/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience.json
System installation
git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git
cd Gradience
git submodule update --init --recursive
flatpak-builder --install --system --force-clean repo/ build-aux/flatpak/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience.json

Meson

Prerequisites

The following packages are required to build Gradience:

  • Python 3 python
  • PyGObject python-gobject
  • Blueprint blueprint-compiler
  • GTK 4 gtk4
  • Libadwaita (>= 1.2.alpha) libadwaita
  • Libsoup 3 (>= 3.2.0) libsoup
  • Meson meson
  • Ninja ninja-build

Required Python libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Build Instruction

Global installation
git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git
cd Gradience
git submodule update --init --recursive
meson setup builddir
meson configure builddir -Dprefix=/usr/local
sudo ninja -C builddir install
Local build (for testing and development purposes)
git clone https://github.com/GradienceTeam/Gradience.git
cd Gradience
git submodule update --init --recursive
meson setup builddir
meson configure builddir -Dprefix="$(pwd)/builddir"
ninja -C builddir install
ninja -C builddir run

Note During testing and development, as a convenience, you can use the local.sh script to quickly rebuild local builds. If you want to use CLI in local builds, you should type: ./local_cli.sh <command> instead of gradience-cli.
