You'll need the following dependencies:

  • meson >= 0.57.0
  • gobject-introspection
  • libgee-0.8-dev
  • libgirepository1.0-dev
  • libgtk-4-dev >= 4.4.0
  • sassc
  • valac

Run meson build to configure the build environment:

meson build --prefix=/usr

This command creates a build directory. For all following commands, change to the build directory before running them.

To build granite, use ninja:

ninja

To install, use ninja install

ninja install

To see a demo app of Granite's widgets, run granite-7-demo after installing it:

Documentation

Documentation for all of the classes and functions in Granite is available on Valadoc

The additional requirements for building the documentation are:

  • valadoc
  • gtk-doc

To generate gtk-doc and valadoc documentation for this project, pass the additional -Ddocumentation=true flag to meson, and run ninja as before.
