# nakamochi daemon and gui (ndg)
release build for linux/aarch64, a raspberry pi 4:
zig build -Dtarget=aarch64-linux-musl -Ddriver=fbev -Doptimize=ReleaseSafe -Dstrip
a dev build for a native arch linux host running Xorg can be compiled simply
with `zig build`. otherwise, for macOS or non-X11 platforms use SDL2:
zig build -Ddriver=sdl2
## local development
you'll need [zig v0.11.x](https://ziglang.org/download/).
if working on the gui, also [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/).
note that compiling the daemon on macOS is currently unsupported since
it requires some linux primitives.
compiling is expected to be as easy as
# only gui
zig build ngui
# only daemon
zig build nd
# everything at once
zig build
the output is placed in `./zig-out/bin` directory. for example, to run the gui,
simply execute `./zig-out/bin/ngui`.
the build script has a few project-specific options. list them all with
a `zig build --help` command. for instance, to reduce LVGL logging verbosity in
debug build mode, one can set this extra build flag:
zig build ngui -Dlvgl_loglevel=warn
run all tests with
zig build test
or a filtered subset using `test-filter`:
zig build test -Dtest-filter=xxx
significant contributors may find adding [.git-blame-ignore-revs](.git-blame-ignore-revs)
file to their git config useful, to skip very likely irrelevant commits
when browsing `git blame`:
git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs
see also the [contributing](#contributing) section.
## CI automated checks
the CI runs code format checks, tests and builds for fbdev+evdev on aarch64
and SDL2. it requires a container image with zig and clang tools such as
clang-format.
to make a new image and switch the CI to use it, first modify the
[ci-containerfile](tools/ci-containerfile) and produce the image locally:
podman build --rm -t ndg-ci -f ./tools/ci-containerfile \
--build-arg ZIGURL=https://ziglang.org/download/0.11.0/zig-linux-x86_64-0.11.0.tar.xz
then tag it with the target URL, for example:
podman tag localhost/ndg-ci git.qcode.ch/nakamochi/ci-zig0.11.0:v2
generate an [access token](https://git.qcode.ch/user/settings/applications),
login to the container registry and push the image to remote:
podman login git.qcode.ch
podman push git.qcode.ch/nakamochi/ci-zig0.11.0:v2
the image will be available at
https://git.qcode.ch/nakamochi/-/packages/
finally, delete the access token from
https://git.qcode.ch/user/settings/applications
what's left is to update the CI [build pipeline](.woodpecker.yml) and delete
the older version of the image.
## contributing
to contribute, create a pull request or send a patch with
[git send-mail](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-send-email) to alex-dot-cloudware.io.
before sending a change, please make sure tests pass:
zig build test
and all code is formatted: zig code with `zig fmt` and C according to the
style described by [.clang-format](.clang-format) file. if `clang-format` tool
is installed, all formatting can be checked with:
./tools/fmt-check.sh
note that only C files in `src/` are formatted.
leave third party libraries as is - it is easier to update and upgrade when
the original style is preserved, even if it doesn't match this project.
