This library contains components from the Envoyer app that are reusable enough that other developers might benefit from them. It was originally intended to be merged into Granite, but it is too opinionated.

It is meant to be statically linked, so it might need some convincing if it needs packaging as a shared library. To link against it, add it as a git submodule:

git submodule add [email protected]:matzipan/basalt.git lib/basalt

And then add the following line to your CMakeLists.txt file:

add_subdirectory (lib/basalt)

To link a target against it:

target_link_libraries (<your target> basalt)

And the vapi path is:

 ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/lib/basalt/lib/basalt.vapi

The demo application code is a good starting point for the usage of the library.

You'll need the following dependencies:

• cmake
• gobject-introspection
• libgee-0.8-dev
• libgirepository1.0-dev
• libgtk-3-dev
• valac

It's recommended to create a clean build environment

mkdir build
cd build/

To see a demo app of Basalt's widgets, use basalt-demo
