Building git version

----------------------

Get git version with command

git clone https://github.com/v1cont/yad.git yad-dialog-code

Before run the standard ./configure && make && make install procedure

you need to generate build scripts. This can be done by running command

autoreconf -ivf && intltoolize

You must manually run gtk-update-icon-cache after installation.

For successfully build you may need to install the following packages:

* GNU Autotools (https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)

* Intltool >= 0.40.0 (http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/intltool/)

* GTK+ >= 3.22.0 (http://www.gtk.org)

with appropriate *-dev* packages depending on your distro

Additionally, you can build yad with the following libraries:

* Webkit - for supporting HTML dialog (http://webkitgtk.org)

* GtkSourceView - for enabling syntax highlighting in text-info dialog (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView)

* GSpell - for support spell checking in text fields (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gspell)

In standalone build (configure option --enable-standalone) some defaults can be redefined with the following defines

BORDERS - set the default border width around dialog. Default is 5  

REMAIN - if defined, timeout indicator will show the remaining time  

COMBO_EDIT - if defined, combo-box in entry dialog will be always editable  

TERM_CMD - string with terminal command. Default is "xterm -e '%s'"  

OPEN_CMD - string with open command. Default is "xdg-open '%s'"  

DATE_FMT - string with date output format. Default is "%x". See strftime(3) for details  

URI_COLOR - color for URIs in text-info dialog. Default is blue  

MARK1_COLOR - color for first type of text marks in text-info dialog. Default is lightgreen  

MARK2_COLOR - color for second type of text marks in text-info dialog. Default is pink  

MAX_TABS - set the number of tabs for tabbed dialog. Default is 100
