Build and Installation

Install Dependencies

Wonder uses the Meson build system. You can either install it via the system's package manager or with pip. Wonder depends further on libxml++-3.0, JACK, liblo. XWonder depends on freeglut and Qt5.

sudo apt-get install build-essential meson pkg-config libxml++3.0 libxml++3.0-dev libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-dev liblo7 liblo-dev qt5-default

sudo dnf install meson pkg-config libxml++3.0 libxml++3.0-dev liblo-dev qt5-default

Meson and Ninja can also be installed from pip, but it's necessary to install them system wide:

sudo pip install meson ninja

Clone Repository

Clone the wonder git repository in your chosen directory (e.g. Development). This creates a subdirectory called wonder.

cd Development
git clone https://github.com/ntonnaett/wonder.git

Setup

First the build directory must be set up. Change to the wonder directory and set buildtype to release. You can change the build directory configuration afterwards. 

cd wonder
meson --buildtype release builddir

Configuration

There are several build options. Type meson configure in your build directory to show all options. The last options are project specific:

Project options     Current Value         Possible Values           Description
---------------     -------------         ---------------           -----------
jfwonder            true                  [true, false]             jfwonder
location            none                  [none, EN325, HUFO]       Set location
scoreplayer         true                  [true, false]             scoreplayer
systemd             auto                  [enabled, disabled, auto] systemd

xwonder             false                 [true, false]             xwonder

Installing the EN325 configuration can be set with meson configure -Dlocation=EN325 for example.

Build and install

Building and installing Wonder is done from the build directory. Meson has multiple build backends, but ninja is preferred.

ninja
sudo ninja install

ninja install automatically builds changes. So running sudo ninja install can change the owner of files in your build directory to root. Running ninja beforehand mitigates this.
