Kmscon requires the following software:
- libudev: providing input, video, etc. device hotplug support
- libxkbcommon: providing internationalized keyboard handling
- libxkbcommon has no public release, yet, but is available on freedesktop.org.
- Building libxkbcommon from Git without root:
- - You can fetch it from Git using: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon
- - You can then ``./autogen.sh && make`` in its directory
- - You configure kmscon using:
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH="libxkbcommon/" ./configure --enable-debug
- assuming you cloned it into a subfolder of kmscon called libxkbcommon.
Everything else is optional:
If you want only a very basic kmscon program without any major dependencies,
use:
- $ ./configure --disable-debug --disable-drm --disable-xkbcommon --disable-systemd --disable-pango --disable-freetype2
+ $ ./configure --disable-debug --disable-drm --disable-systemd --disable-pango --disable-freetype2
However, you will loose a lot of functionality by dropping all dependencies.
The following configure options are available. If build-time dependencies
