For a screenshot, an overview what Parlatype actually is and packages please visit https://gkarsay.github.io/parlatype/.
To build Parlatype from source you need these packages:
- make, autotools (autoconf, automake)
- intltool
- gobject-introspection-1.0
- yelp-tools
- gtk+-3.0 (>= 3.10)
- gstreamer-1.0
- gstreamer-plugins-base-1.0
Optional, depending on your configure options:
- gladeui-2.0 (>= 3.12.2; with
--enable-glade-catalog) - gtk-doc (with
--enable-gtk-doc) - desktop-file-utils (if installed, this checks the desktop file)
- appstream-utils (if installed, this checks the appstream file)
Required runtime dependencies:
- GTK+ 3
- GStreamer
- GStreamer "Good" Plugins
If using GStreamer 1.14+, MP3 support is included in the "Good" Plugins, so nothing else is needed. Otherwise, optional runtime dependencies to support MP3 files:
- GStreamer "Ugly" Plugins (only with GStreamer <= 1.12)
Optional runtime dependencies, if you want to use LibreOffice macros:
- LibreOffice (>= 4)
- libreoffice-script-provider-python (Debian only)
On a Debian based distro you can install all these with:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf intltool libgirepository1.0-dev libgladeui-dev gtk-doc-tools yelp-tools libgtk-3-dev libgtk-3-0 libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libreoffice-script-provider-python
On Fedora this should work:
$ su -c 'dnf install gcc automake autoconf intltool gobject-introspection-devel glade-devel gtk-doc yelp-tools gtk3-devel gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-ugly libreoffice-pyuno'
There are a few changes in this cycle. If you build from git master the changes compared to version 1.5.6 are:
- intltool: this dependency is dropped
- gettext >= 0.19.7 (when cloning from git and running
./autogen.shfor the first time, po files are regenerated once, this can be safely reverted withgit checkout .) - GTK+ >= 3.16
- GStreamer >= 1.6.3
- Autoconf macro AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED required; provided by package
autoconf-archive - Autoconf macro APPSTREAM_XML required; provided e.g. by package
appstream-utilon Debian orlibappstream-glib-develon Fedora
Parlatype ships its own library, libparlatype. Developers might be interested in having a library documentation, gobject introspection and a glade catalog for the widgets. These are the configure options:
--with-libreoffice: install LibreOffice macros (default: yes)--enable-introspection: install gobject introspection (default: yes)--enable-tests: build unit tests (default: yes) – please note that these tests need a runtime environment and will fail in a pure build environment--enable-gtk-doc: install library documentation (default: no)--enable-glade-catalog: install a glade catalog (default: no)--enable-code-coverage: enable gcov/lcov code coverage (default: no)
If you want the program only, you would use --prefix=/usr --disable-introspection.
Clone the repository and run autogen.sh. Assuming you want the program only:
$ git clone https://github.com/gkarsay/parlatype.git
$ cd parlatype
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-introspection
$ make
$ sudo make install
Download the latest release tarball from https://github.com/gkarsay/parlatype/releases/latest. Assuming it's version 1.5.6 and you want the program only:
$ wget https://github.com/gkarsay/parlatype/releases/download/v1.5.6/parlatype-1.5.6.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf parlatype-1.5.6.tar.gz
$ cd parlatype-1.5.6/
$ autoreconf # might be necessary
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-introspection
$ make
$ sudo make install
The LibreOffice helpers/macros are installed together with Parlatype. However, this works only fine with --prefix=/usr. If you use a different prefix, it’s recommended to
$ ./configure --without-libreoffice
In this case, please copy the macros manually:
$ sudo cp libreoffice/Parlatype.py /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/Scripts/python/
If you don’t want to install them system-wide, you can put them in your home dir instead:
$ cp libreoffice/Parlatype.py ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/Scripts/python/
There is an integrated help in Parlatype with a page describing how to use the LibreOffice helpers.
