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 Vala 0.22.1 or higher with a full GObject
|
|
introspection repository, intltool, cmake, and desktop-file-validate.
|
|
Vala's vapigen must be installed as well.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
* webkitgtk-3.0
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
Geary requires WebKitGTK-3 1.10 or higher. However, it will not build with
|
|
WebKitGTK-3 versions 2.1.1 to 2.1.90.0. See
|
|
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713168> for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Installing dependencies on Fedora
|
|
|
|
Fedora 20 ships with the correct version of Vala. Install it by running
|
|
this command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yum install vala
|
|
|
|
In Fedora versions prior to 20, you must install Vala from source.
|
|
Download and install the tarball from
|
|
<https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Release>.
|
|
|
|
You can install the rest of the build dependencies for Geary in any version
|
|
of Fedora by running this command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo yum install gobject-introspection-devel intltool cmake \
|
|
desktop-file-utils libcanberra-devel libgee-devel glib2-devel \
|
|
gmime-devel gtk3-devel libnotify-devel sqlite-devel unique3-devel \
|
|
webkitgtk3-devel libsecret-devel libxml2-devel vala-tools
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Installing dependencies on Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 ships the correct version of Vala. In Ubuntu versions prior
|
|
to 14.04, you must add the Vala PPA first by running these commands:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vala-team/ppa
|
|
$ sudo apt-get update
|
|
|
|
You can install the build dependencies for Geary in Ubuntu by running this
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install valac-0.20 libgirepository1.0-dev intltool \
|
|
cmake desktop-file-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 libunique-3.0-dev \
|
|
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev libmessaging-menu-dev libunity-dev
|
|
|
|
You should check that you are using the right version of valac by running:
|
|
|
|
$ valac --version
|
|
Vala 0.22.1
|
|
|
|
If it reports anything less than 0.22.1, select the correct version when
|
|
running:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo update-alternatives --config valac
|
|
|
|
Note that Ubuntu 12.04 does not have all the dependencies to build Geary.
|
|
See <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary/BuildingOnUbuntu12.04> for details
|
|
and instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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
|
