Workspace

Base applications and settings for the Liri OS workspace.

Includes:

• liri-screenshot, screenshot application
• liri-screencast, screencast application
• liri-powermanager, power management
• Settings schemas
• XDG menu definition

Dependencies

Make sure you have Qt >= 5.8.0 with the following modules:

• qtbase
• qtdeclarative
• qtquickcontrols2

And the following modules:

• qbs-shared
• solid
• qtgsettings
• libliri
• liri-wayland

Themes and wallpapers to honor default settings:

• paper-icon-themes
• liri-wallpapers

If you do not install those dependencies, please configure the desktop with an alternative icon theme and wallpaper.

Optional services at runtime:

• upower is used by liri-powermanager to determine whether the system is on battery power or AC power, whether lid is closed or not. If upower is not available, the system is assumed to be a desktop computer on AC power.

• systemd is used by liri-powermanager to determine whether the system is a virtual machine and the chassis type. If systemd is not available, the system is assumed to be a bare-metal desktop computer.

Installation

Qbs is a new build system that is much easier to use compared to qmake or CMake.

If you want to learn more, please read the Qbs manual, especially the setup guide and how to install artifacts from the installation guide.

If you haven't already, start by setting up a qt5 profile for qbs:

qbs setup-toolchains --type gcc /usr/bin/g++ gcc
qbs setup-qt $(which qmake) qt5 # make sure that qmake is in PATH
qbs config profiles.qt5.baseProfile gcc

Then, from the root of the repository, run:

qbs -d build -j $(nproc) profile:qt5 # use sudo if necessary

To the qbs call above you can append additional configuration parameters:

• modules.lirideployment.prefix:/path/to/prefix where most files are installed (default: /usr/local)
• modules.lirideployment.dataDir:path/to/lib where data files are installed (default: /usr/local/share)
• modules.lirideployment.libDir:path/to/lib where libraries are installed (default: /usr/local/lib)
• modules.lirideployment.qmlDir:path/to/qml where QML plugins are installed (default: /usr/local/lib/qml)
• modules.lirideployment.pluginsDir:path/to/plugins where Qt plugins are installed (default: /usr/local/lib/plugins)
• modules.lirideployment.qbsModulesDir:path/to/qbs where Qbs modules are installed (default: /usr/local/share/qbs/modules)

See lirideployment.qbs for more deployment-related parameters.
