Gm: Compiling with gmobile

Compiling with gmobile

If you need to build gmobile, get the source from here and see the README.md file.

Using pkg-config

Like other libraries, gmobile uses pkg-config to provide compiler options. The package name is gmobile.

If you use Automake/Autoconf, in your configure.ac script, you might specify something like:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GMOBILE, [gmobile])
AC_SUBST(GMOBILE_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(GMOBILE_LIBS)

Or when using the Meson build system you can declare a dependency like:

dependency('gmobile')

Bundling the library

If you don’t want to use the shared library gmobile can be bundled in one of two ways:

As a git submodule

To use it as a submodule add the submodule to git

git submodule add https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile.git subprojects/gmobile

And then add this to your meson.build:

gmobile = subproject('gmobile',
  default_options: [
    'package_name=' + meson.project_name(),
    'package_version=' + meson.project_version(),
    'pkgdatadir=' + pkgdatadir,
    'pkglibdir=' + pkglibdir,
    'examples=false',
    'gtk_doc=false',
    'tests=false',
  ])
gmobile_dep = gmobile.get_variable('gmobile_dep')

As a meson subproject

To use it as a meson subproject add this to subprojects/gmobile.wrap:

[wrap-git]
directory=gmobile
url=https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/gmobile.git
revision=main
depth=1

You can then use gmobile_dep in your mesn build files like:

gmobile = dependency('gmobile',
                     fallback: ['gmobile', 'gmobile_dep'],
                     native: true)
