What is Clutter?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, compelling,
|
|
portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Clutter currently requires:
|
|
|
|
* [GLib](http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib)
|
|
* [JSON-GLib](http://git.gnome.org/browse/json-glib)
|
|
* [Atk](http://git.gnome.org/browse/atk)
|
|
* [Cairo](http://cairographics.org)
|
|
* [Pango](http://git.gnome.org/browse/pango)
|
|
* [Cogl](http://git.gnome.org/browse/cogl)
|
|
|
|
On X11, Clutter depends on the following extensions:
|
|
|
|
* XComposite
|
|
* XDamage
|
|
* XExt
|
|
* XInput (1.x or 2.x)
|
|
* XKB
|
|
|
|
If you are building the API reference you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* [GTK-Doc](http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-doc)
|
|
|
|
If you are building the additional documentation you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* xsltproc
|
|
* jw (optional, for generating PDFs)
|
|
|
|
If you are building the Introspection data you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* [GObject-Introspection](http://git.gnome.org/browse/gobject-introspection)
|
|
|
|
If you want support for profiling Clutter you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* [UProf](git://github.com/rib/UProf.git)
|
|

|
Building and Installation
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
To build Clutter from a release tarball, the usual autotool triad should
|
|
be followed:
|
|
|
|
1. ./configure
|
|
2. make
|
|
3. make install
|
|
|
|
To build Clutter from a Git clone, run the autogen.sh script instead
|
|
of the configure one. The `autogen.sh` script will run the configure script
|
|
for you, unless the `NOCONFIGURE` environment variable is set to a non-empty
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
See also the [BuildingClutter][building-clutter] page on the wiki.
|
|
|
|
Versioning
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Clutter uses the common "Linux kernel" versioning system, where
|
|
even-numbered minor versions are stable and odd-numbered minor
|
|
versions are development snapshots.
|
|
|
|
Different major versions break both API and ABI but are parallel
|
|
installable. The same major version with differing minor version is
|
|
expected to be ABI compatible with other minor versions; differing
|
|
micro versions are meant just for bug fixing. On odd minor versions
|
|
the newly added API might still change.
|
|
|
|
The micro version indicates the origin of the release: even micro
|
|
numbers are only used for released archives; odd micro numbers are
|
|
only used on the Git repository.
|
|
|
|
Contributing
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If you want to hack on and improve Clutter check the `HACKING` file for
|
|
general implementation guidelines, and the `HACKING.backends` for
|
|
backend-specific implementation issues.
|
|
|
|
The `CODING_STYLE` file contains the rules for writing code conformant to
|
|
the style guidelines used throughout Clutter. Remember: the coding style
|
|
is mandatory; patches not conforming to it will be rejected by default.
|
|
|
|
The usual workflow for contributions should be:
|
|
|
|
1. Fork the repository
|
|
2. Create a branch (`git checkout -b my_work`)
|
|
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am "Added my awesome feature"`)
|
|
4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my_work`)
|
|
5. Create an [Bug][1] with a link to your branch
|
|
6. Sit back, relax and wait for feedback and eventual merge
|
|
|
|
Bugs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Bugs should be reported to the Clutter Bugzilla at:
|
|
|
|
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=clutter
|
|
|
|
You will need a Bugzilla account.
|
|
|
|
In the report you should include:
|
|
|
|
* what system you're running Clutter on;
|
|
* which version of Clutter you are using;
|
|
* which version of GLib and OpenGL (or OpenGL ES) you are using;
|
|
* which video card and which drivers you are using, including output of
|
|
glxinfo and xdpyinfo (if applicable);
|
|
* how to reproduce the bug.
|
|
|
|
If you cannot reproduce the bug with one of the tests that come with Clutter
|
|
source code, you should include a small test case displaying the bad
|
|
behaviour.
|
|
|
|
If the bug exposes a crash, the exact text printed out and a stack trace
|
|
obtained using gdb are greatly appreciated.
