|
|
|
you want to build nsxiv on a distribution with separate runtime and development
|
|
|
|
packages (e.g. \*-dev on Debian).

Building
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
2021-09-16 11:32:59 +02:00
|
|
|
nsxiv is built using the commands:
|
2011-01-21 15:27:06 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
2021-10-03 18:52:12 +02:00
|
|
|
You can pass `HAVE_X=0` to `make` to disable an optional dependency.
|
2021-09-14 16:42:57 +02:00
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
2021-10-03 18:52:12 +02:00
|
|
|
$ make HAVE_LIBEXIF=0
|
2021-09-14 16:42:57 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-10-03 18:52:12 +02:00
|
|
|
will disable `libexif` support. Alternatively they can be disabled via editing
|
2022-04-21 23:14:03 +02:00
|
|
|
`config.mk`. `OPT_DEP_DEFAULT=0` can be used to disable all optional
|
|
|
|
dependencies.

|
|
|
|
Please note, that these requires root privileges.
|
2021-09-24 07:07:27 +02:00
|
|
|
By default, nsxiv is installed using the prefix `/usr/local`, so the full path
|
|
|
|
of the executable will be `/usr/local/bin/nsxiv`, the `.desktop` entry will be
|
|
|
|
`/usr/local/share/applications/nsxiv.desktop` and the icon path will be
|
|
|
|
`/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/{size}/apps/nsxiv.png`.
|
2021-09-16 11:32:59 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can install nsxiv into a directory of your choice by changing this command to:
|
2011-01-21 15:27:06 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-09-16 11:32:59 +02:00
|
|
|
$ make PREFIX="/your/dir" install
|
2011-01-21 15:27:06 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2021-10-03 18:52:12 +02:00
|
|
|
Example scripts are installed using `EGPREFIX` which defaults to
|
|
|
|
`/usr/local/share/doc/nsxiv/examples`. You can change `EGPREFIX` the same way
|
|
|
|
you can change `PREFIX` shown above.
|
2021-09-22 20:36:55 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2021-09-16 11:32:59 +02:00
|
|
|
The build-time specific settings of nsxiv can be found in the file *config.h*.
|
2011-09-12 19:28:02 +02:00
|
|
|
Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs.
|
2011-09-13 10:08:55 +02:00
|
|
|
If the file *config.h* does not already exist, then you have to create it with
|
|
|
|
the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make config.h
|

Customization
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main method of customizing nsxiv is by setting values for the variables in *config.h*,
|
|
|
|
or by using Xresources as explained in the manual. If these options are not sufficient,
|
|
|
|
you may implement your own features by following
|
2022-06-11 15:38:07 +02:00
|
|
|
[this guide](https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv-extra/blob/master/CUSTOMIZATION.md).
|
2021-10-02 07:29:38 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Due to our limited [project scope](CONTRIBUTING.md#Project-Scope), certain features or
|
2021-11-26 15:38:00 +01:00
|
|
|
customization cannot be merged into nsxiv mainline. Following the spirit of suckless
|
2022-06-11 15:38:07 +02:00
|
|
|
software, we host the [nsxiv-extra](https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv-extra) repo where users
|
2021-11-26 15:38:00 +01:00
|
|
|
are free to submit whatever patches or scripts they wish.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think your custom features can be beneficial for the general user base and is within
|
|
|
|
our project scope, please submit it as a pull request on this repository, then we *may*
|
|
|
|
merge it to mainline.
