Thanks to YAD team for this excellent project..

Thanks Victor,

but it doesn't work for me..

yad> ./configure --enable-standalone
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

my distro is  openSUSE Leap 15.2

I git-cloned yad8

cd yad

ls

I think "configure" is a script, but only "configure.am" exist in yad directory..

Maybe i have to  install some compiler-or--bla-bla-tools ???

I'm only a medical-doctor- linux user, not a programmer..

We have some useful shell scripts converting text-data-sets, and we wish to change them for run in  graphical enviroment.
and when distribute scripts ( together with "yad.bin"  -standalone axecutable-) , other colleagues shouldn't have to install yad, because they haven't got package-install permission.

Sorry for terrible English..

hi

full build sequence (from the root of yad sources):

autoreconf -ivf
intltoolize
./configure --enable-standalone
make

after that you can take binary src/yad and use it as you want

THOUGHT

Maybe i should install gettext and intltoolize

Lets do it..

1) YaST Software said gettext-runtime and gettext-tools already installed..

  I also installed hopeless

"gettext-its-gtk3 - International Tag Set for GTK+ 3"

but no change !

2) Also  search for "intltoolize", YaST said "No Results"..

Yeah, i always hate windows, but sometime much more linux..

thanks for your patience..

[Victor Ananjevsky]

yes, you need intltoolize and autoconf/automake packages to generate
./configure script

alternativelly you can get released source tarball -
https://github.com/v1cont/yad/releases/download/v8.0/yad-8.0.tar.xz
where ./configure script already generated

and you have to install appropriate -dev packages for gtk3,
gtksourceview, gspell and webkit2
btw, last three are optional and can be disabled with ./configure
see ./configure --help for details

Hi again,

I downloaded that you said..

yad-8.0> ./configure --enable-standalone
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a race-free mkdir -p... /usr/bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
./configure: line 3282: intltool-update: command not found
checking for intltool >= 0.40.0...  found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.40.0 or later.

BUT.. YaST doesn't agree this
.. according to YaST  :

intltool - Internationalization Tool Collection
Version: 0.51.0-lp152.5.1
Build Time:
Cts 07 Mar 2020 10:05:53 +03 

Interesting for me..

I have no hope that I will be successful..
it's scary to even think about succesfully compiling other GTK libraries..

hi

sorry for late answer

looks like your installation of intltool package is broken
or incomplete

this error is a clue

> ./configure: line 3282: intltool-update: command not found

intltool-update command is a part of intltool package
and if it missing that this is something wrong with your intltool
try to reinstall intltool

Hi Victor, thanks again..

I didn't find required packages in my openSuse enviroment..

I installed Deepin-ubuntu and compiled semi-successfully.

Except webkit*bla bla gtk libraries..

But working well 957 kB ( is it too small ?) binary both of suse and debian  & mate desktop..

We didn't tested yet any KDE desktop..

I'll try again later to compile with all components..

( The reason was  i wish all-in-one-compact-application )

PS: We have UTF-8 problems ( Turkish ) but i think it is  not related to yad..
Maybe problem is GTK or  linux-core spesific..

Thanks again..

Keep your excellent work in GTK4 etc
