API Reference

How to Use in Your Project

Method 1. Flatpak Manifest

If you want to use Ryokucha in a Flatpak app, simply call it as a module in your Flatpak manifest:

modules:
  - name: ryokucha
    buildsystem: meson
    sources:
      - type: git
        url: https://github.com/ryonakano/ryokucha.git
        tag: 'x.y.z'

Then call ryokucha in your meson file:

executable(
    meson.project_name(),
    'src/Application.vala',
    dependencies: [
        dependency('gtk4'),
        dependency('ryokucha')
    ],
    install: true
)

Now you can use Ryokucha in your project.

Medhod 2. Use as Git Submodule

This library is not (yet) provided as a package for any distributions, so the best way to use it to your project is to embed it as a git submodule:

git submodule add https://github.com/ryonakano/ryokucha subprojects/ryokucha

Load the embeded library as a dependency in the root meson.build:

ryokucha_subproject = subproject('ryokucha')
ryokucha_deps = ryokucha_subproject.get_variable('libryokucha')

Add ryokucha_deps in the dependencies list in your meson.build:

executable(
    meson.project_name(),
    'src/Application.vala',
    dependencies: [
        dependency('gtk4'),
        ryokucha_deps,
    ],
    install: true
)

Now you can use Ryokucha in your project.

Building and Installation

If you mean to perform code changes and create a pull request against this project, you may want to build and install the library from source code.

You'll need the following dependencies:

• libglib2.0-dev
• libgtk-4-dev
• libpango1.0-dev
• meson
• valac

Run meson setup to configure the build environment and run meson compile to build:

meson setup builddir --prefix=/usr
meson compile -C builddir

To install, use meson install:

meson install -C builddir
