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

Contributing

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

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 >= 0.28 (makedep)
  • automake >= 1.14 (makedep)
  • gstreamer-1.0 (disable via --disable-video, default enabled)
  • gst-plugins-bad-1.0 >= 1.6 (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

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