Developing and Building

Development may be done using elementary OS 5. If you want to hack on and build xkcdesktop yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:

  • libcurl4-openssl-dev
  • libxml2-dev
  • libgranite-dev
  • libgtk-3-dev
  • meson (and cmake to find libxml2)
  • valac

You can install them on elementary OS 5 with:

$ sudo apt install elementary-sdk cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev

Run meson build to configure the build environment and run ninja to build:

$ meson build --prefix=/usr
$ cd build
$ ninja

To install, use ninja install, then execute with com.github.tvale.xkcdesktop:

$ sudo ninja install
$ com.github.tvale.xkcdesktop

xkcdesktop's Issues

Package as Flatpak for elementary OS 6

As you might have heard, AppCenter is going Flatpak! For elementary OS 6, we will not longer be accepting Debian packaging, so your app will need to be updated.

We have documentation on our developer guide for writing your Flatpak manifest here: https://docs.elementary.io/develop/writing-apps/our-first-app/packaging#flatpak-manifest

Also, in case you missed it, elementary OS 6 beta 2 is now available. This is a great time to get your app packaged up as Flatpak and test that everything is working before the final release. AppCenter submission for OS 6 will be open soon, so don't delay :)

Add random option

It can be great if there is the possibility to load a comic randomly

Translations

Translations are missing, they should be available (appdata.xml and desktop files at least).
Then you can add tooltips to icons ("Previous", "Next", "Latest", "Search"...) that can make your app more accessible and translatable.

I can work on this if you want

Info

Hi! I don't know if you noticed that, but your app is quite the same as this one https://github.com/rkoesters/xkcd-gtk

Just for information 😄 I was surprised when I saw your app then. Maybe you can take a look.

I tested your app and it's great too 👍
