Will this work on distribution XYZ?

I don't know. If you can satisfy all the dependencies, probably yes but you'd most likely still have to compile and install it from source (that is, if no one else makes packages).

Translations

Since February 2014, there's a Corebird project on Transifex

Dependencies

gtk+-3.0 >= 3.16
glib-2.0 >= 2.44
rest-0.7 (>= 0.7.91 for image uploads)
json-glib-1.0
sqlite3
libsoup-2.4
intltool >= 0.40
libgee-0.8
vala >= 0.26 (makedep)
automake >= 1.14 (makedep)
gstreamer-1.0 (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
gst-plugins-bad-1.0 (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
gst-plugins-good-1.0 (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
gst-libav-1.0 (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)

Note that the above packages are just rough estimations, the actual package names on your distribution may vary.

If you pass --disable-video to the configure script, you don't need any gstreamer dependency but won't be able to view any videos (i.e. no vines and no twitter gifs).

Compiling

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
make install
