Compiling with libfeedback

Compiling with libfeedback

If you need to build libfeedback, get the source from here and see the README.md file.

Using pkg-config

Like other GObject based libraries, libfeedback uses pkg-config to provide compiler options. The package name is libfeedback-0.0.

When using the Meson build system you can declare a dependency like:

dependency('libfeedback-0.0')

Bundling the Library

Using a Subproject

Libfeedback can be used as a Meson subproject. Create a subprojects/libfeedback.wrap file with the following contents:

[wrap-git]
directory=libfeedback
url=https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd.git
revision=main
depth=1

Add this to your meson.build:

libfeedback = dependency(
  'libfeedback-0.0',
  version: '>= 0.0.1',
  fallback: ['libfeedback', 'libfeedback_dep'],
  default_options: [
    'daemon=false',
    'man=false',
    'gtk_doc=false',
    'vapi=false',
    'tests=false',
  ]
)

Then the libfeedback variable can be used as a dependency.

Next Steps

Once libfeedback has been compiled and included into your project, it needs to be initialized. See Initialization.
