Contributing

All contributions are welcome (artwork, design, code, just ideas, etc.) but if you're planning to actively change something bigger, talk to me first.

  • gettext >= 0.19.7
  • vala >= 0.28 (makedep)
  • automake >= 1.14 (makedep)

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.

Compiling

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

Corebird installs its application icon into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/, so an appropriate call to gtk-update-icon-cache might be needed.
