Build a Project Using Nuvola SDK

Dependencies

• GNU Make
• SVG optimizer: Scour
• SVG converter: Lasem, librsvg, GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick
• Pillow >= 4.3

Installation

1. Run ./configure to generate Makefile and metadata.json from details in metadata.in.json. Recognized options:
   • --prefix: Specify a custom build prefix instead of /usr/local. Example: ./configure --prefix=/usr
2. Run make all to build the project.
3. Run make install to install the project. Recognized variables:
   • DESTDIR: A custom installation destination (defaults to the filesystem root). Example: make DESTDIR=/tmp/build/package install
4. Run make uninstall to uninstall the project. Recognized variables:

Create a New Project Using Nuvola SDK

nuvolasdk new-project

When run without additional arguments, user will be asked to provide necessary metadata for the script. In order to get information about available arguments run nuvolasdk new-project --help.

Check whether a project is well-formed

nuvolasdk check-project

Please run this check before a code review.

Convert or Upgrade Project to Use Nuvola SDK

nuvolasdk convert-project

If used on new-style projects using Nuvola SDK, the project is updated to the latest standards.

If used on old-style projects without SDK, the project is converted to a new-style project with SDK. Notable changes:

• The metadata file metadata.json has been renamed to metadata.in.json and contains a new build section.
• A new script configure loads the SDK to read metadata.in.json in order to generate Makefile and metadata.json (without the build section but with new metadata from configure process.
• The old Makefile is renamed to Makefile.old and can be safely removed once the new-style project build successfully.
• The scripts svg-convert.sh and svg-optimize.sh are removed because they are included in the SDK.
