Linux Flatpak package of vimix
================================
## Prerequirement: install flatpak
Instructions are at https://flatpak.org/setup/
e.g. for Ubuntu:
sudo apt install flatpak
## Install vimix releases from Flathub
If you followed all instructions of the [flatpak setup](https://flatpak.org/setup/), vimix should be in the list of packages.
flatpak install --user vimix
## Build local beta flatpack package of vimix
If you want to have the latest developper version of vimix (before releases), you can build a vimix flatpak yourself.
This way, the application vimix is still sandboxed (i.e. not installing libs in your system), removable (entirely free space after remove) and updatable (just re-compile to update).
### 1. Install flatpak build environments
If not already installed, install the builder and the flathub repository:
sudo apt install flatpak-builder
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Install the runtime environments:
flatpak install org.gnome.Sdk/x86_64
flatpak install org.gnome.Platform
_Select version **47** in the list of proposed versions_
### 2. Build vimix flatpak
These settings of git are needed to enable clone of local repos during build:
git config --global --add protocol.file.allow always
Get the flatpak manifest for vimix:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brunoherbelin/vimix/master/flatpak/io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix.json
Launch the build of the flatpak:
flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix.json
The build will be quite long as some dependencies are also re-build from source. However, the build of dependencies is kept in cache; rebuilding vimix will subsequently be much faster.
## Run vimix flatpak
If all goes well, the package will have been generated and be able to run. The vimix app icon should be available.
To run from command line:
flatpak run io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix
## Uninstall vimix flatpak
flatpak uninstall vimix
# Developper information
The flatpak manifest for flathub is at https://github.com/flathub/io.github.brunoherbelin.Vimix
To build the vimix flatpak with code from local folder (debugging), change the following:
{
"name": "vimix",
"buildsystem": "cmake",
"config-opts": [
"-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release"
],
"sources": [
{
"type":"dir",
"path": "/home/bhbn/Development/vimix",
}
]
}
