Building

Dependencies

See .gitlab-ci.yml.

Build from git repo

$ git clone https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/eekboard.git
$ cd eekboard
$ mkdir ../build
$ meson ../build/
$ cd ../build
$ ninja install

For development, alter the meson call:

$ meson ../build/ --prefix=../install

and don't skip ninja install before running. The last step is necessary in order to find the keyboard definition files.

Running

$ rootston
$ cd ../build/
$ src/squeekboard

Testing

$ busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b true
$ busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b false
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ua')]"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current 1
