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
