| ring-client-gnome |
| ***************** |
| |
| Ring-client-gnome is a Ring client written in GTK+3. It uses libRingClient to |
| communicate with the Ring daemon and for all of the underlying models and their |
| logic. Ideally ring-client-gnome should only contain UI related code and any |
| wrappers necessary for interacting with libRingClient. |
| |
| Packages for Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora can be found on http://ring.cx |
| |
| More info about the Ring project and the clients can be found on our Tuleap |

| Requirements |
| ================== |
| |
| - Ring daemon |
| - libRingClient |
| - GTK+3 (3.10 or higher) |
| - Qt5 Core |
| - X11 |
| - gnome-icon-theme-symbolic (certain icons are used which other themes might be missing) |
| - libebook1.2 / evolution-data-server (3.10 or higher) |
| - libnotify (optional, if you wish to receive desktop notifications of incoming calls, etc) |
| - gettext (optional to compile translations) |
| |
| On Debian/Ubuntu these can be installed by: |
| sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libgtk-3-dev qtbase5-dev libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev gnome-icon-theme-symbolic libebook1.2-dev libnotify-dev gettext |
| |
| On Fedora: |
| sudo yum install gcc-c++ cmake gtk3-devel qt5-qtbase-devel clutter-gtk-devel gnome-icon-theme-symbolic evolution-data-server-devel libnotify-devel gettext |
| |
| The build instruction for the daemon and libRingClient can be found in their |
| respective repositories. See Gerrit: |

| |
| Compiling |
| ================== |
| |
| In the project root dir: |
| mkdir build |
| cd build |
| cmake .. |
| make |
| |
| You can then simply run ./gnome-ring from the build directory |
| |
| Installing |
| ================== |
| |
| If you're building the client for use (rather than testing of packaging), it is |
| recommended that you install it on your system, eg: in '/usr', '/usr/local', or |
| '/opt', depending on your distro's preference to get full functionality such as |
| desktop integration. In this case you should perform a 'make install' after |
| building the client. |
| |
| |
| Building without installing Ring daemon and libRingClient |
| ================== |
| |
| It is possible to build ring-client-gnome without installing the deamon and |
| libRingClient on your system (eg: in /usr or /usr/local): |
| |
| 1. build the daemon |
| 2. when building libRingClient, specify the location of the daemon lib in the |
| cmake options with -DRING_BUILD_DIR=, eg: |
| -DRING_BUILD_DIR=/home/user/ring/daemon/src |
| 3. to get the proper headers, we still need to 'make install' libRingClient, but |
| we don't have to install it in /usr, so just specify another location for the |
| install prefix in the cmake options, eg: |
| -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/ringinstall |
| 4. now compile libRingClient and do 'make install', everything will be installed |
| in the dir specified by the prefix |
| 4. now we just have to point the client to the libRingClient cmake module during |
| the configuration: |
| -DLibRingClient_DIR=/home/user/ringinstall/lib/cmake/LibRingClient |
| |
| |
| Debugging |
| ================== |
| |
| For now, the build type of the client is "Debug" by default, however it is |
| useful to also have the debug symbols of libRingClient. To do this, specify this |
| when compiling libRingClient with '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' in the cmake |
| options. |
