Tom A. Wagner a8bfd8383e buildsystem: Move to meson for building the project

Meson will allow us to:
- Verify the used rust compiler is recent enough
- Install ressources such as a .desktop files, icons, etc.

Raw Blame History

Helvum is a GTK-based patchbay for pipewire, inspired by the JACK tool catia.

Features planned

Volume control
"Debug mode" that lets you view advanced information for nodes and ports

More suggestions are welcome!

Building

Via flatpak (recommended)

The recommended way to build is using flatpak, which will take care of all dependencies and avoid any problems that may come from different system configurations.

First, install the required flatpak platform and SDK, if you dont have them already:

$ flatpak install org.gnome.{Platform,Sdk}//40 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//20.08

To compile and install as a flatpak, run

$ flatpak-builder --install flatpak-build/ build-aux/org.freedesktop.ryuukyu.Helvum.json

You can then run the app via

$ flatpak run org.freedesktop.ryuukyu.Helvum

Manually

For compilation, you will need:

Meson
An up-to-date rust toolchain
libclang-3.7 or higher
gtk-4.0 and pipewire-0.3 development headers

To compile and install, run

$ meson setup build && cd build
$ meson compile
$ meson install

in the repository root. This will install the compiled project files into /usr/local.
