Building & Installing Geary
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Building
|
|
|
|
To build Geary, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
By default, Geary will install under /usr/local. The configure script can
|
|
customize the prefix directory. Run ./configure --help for instructions
|
|
and other installation options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Building Geary requires at least the following major libraries:
|
|
|
|
* GTK+ version 3.14
|
|
* WebKitGTK+ 2.10
|
|
* Vala 0.26
|
|
|
|
With a full GObject introspection repository, intltool, cmake,
|
|
desktop-file-validate, and xml2po. Vala's vapigen must be
|
|
installed as well.
|
|
|
|
See the file `src/CMakeLists.txt` for the complete list of minimum
|
|
version requirements.
|
|
|
|
Geary also requires SQLite to be built with the compiler flag
|
|
`-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3`. Further, SQLite 3.11.x specifically must
|
|
also be built with `-DSQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_TOKENIZER`. Most
|
|
distribution's packages meet these requirements, however Fedora 24
|
|
users and others may be required to rebuild SQLite 3.11 with the
|
|
second flag, or install SQLite 3.12 and recompile Geary.
|
|
|
|
The developer packages and headers for the following libraries are also
|
|
required when building Geary:
|
|
|
|
* canberra
|
|
* gee-0.8
|
|
* gio-2.0
|
|
* glib-2.0
|
|
* gmime-2.6
|
|
* gtk+-3.0
|
|
* libsecret-1
|
|
* libxml-2.0
|
|
* notify
|
|
* sqlite3
|
|
* webkit2gtk-4.0
|
|
* gcr-3
|
|
* enchant
|
|
* messaging-menu (optional; enables support for Ubuntu Unity messaging
|
|
menu)
|
|
* unity (optional; enables support for Ubuntu Unity launcher)
|
|
|
|
Most of these are standard libraries available from major distros' package
|
|
repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Installing dependencies on Fedora
|
|
|
|
Fedora 23 and later ships with the correct versions of the
|
|
required libraries. Install them by running this command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo dnf install vala gobject-introspection-devel intltool cmake \
|
|
desktop-file-utils gnome-doc-utils libcanberra-devel libgee-devel \
|
|
glib2-devel gmime-devel gtk3-devel libnotify-devel sqlite-devel \
|
|
webkitgtk4-devel libsecret-devel libxml2-devel vala-tools \
|
|
gcr-devel enchant-devel
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Installing dependencies on Ubuntu/Debian
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) and later ships with the correct
|
|
versions of the required libraries.
|
|
|
|
Debian 8 (Jessie) requires stable backports enabled for
|
|
WebKitGTK. See <https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/> for
|
|
more information about using stable backports. Later versions
|
|
ships with the correct versions of the required libraries.
|
|
|
|
Install them by running this command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install valac libgirepository1.0-dev intltool \
|
|
cmake desktop-file-utils gnome-doc-utils libcanberra-dev \
|
|
libgee-0.8-dev libglib2.0-dev libgmime-2.6-dev libgtk-3-dev \
|
|
libsecret-1-dev libxml2-dev libnotify-dev libsqlite3-dev \
|
|
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libgcr-3-dev libenchant-dev
|
|
|
|
And for Ubuntu Unity integration:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install libunity-dev libmessaging-menu-dev
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty) does not have all the dependencies to
|
|
build this version Geary. Consier using the Geary 0.11 LTS series
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Running
|
|
|
|
If you wish to try Geary before installing it, you may execute it directly
|
|
from its build directory:
|
|
|
|
$ ./geary
|
|
|
|
Note that certain desktop integration (such as being listed in an
|
|
application menu) requires full installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Installing
|
|
|
|
After Geary has built, run the following command to install it:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
To uninstall, run:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make uninstall
|
