Dependencies

Build dependencies

These will usually also install the relative runtime dependencies. Dependencies marked with an asterisk are optional. This means that if they're not installed at compile-time, albafetch will be compiled with custom implementations of some functions.

• libpci*: Used to get gpu information
  • On Arch Linux, pciutils
  • On Debian, libpci-dev
  • On Fedora, pciutils-devel
  • On Alpine Linux, pciutils-dev
• sqlite3: Used to gather the amount of installed rpm packages
  • On Arch Linux, sqlite
  • On Debian, libsqlite3-dev
  • On Fedora, sqlite-devel
  • On Alpine Linux, sqlite-dev
• libc (likely already installed):
  • On Alpine Linux, musl-dev
• glib*: Provides some useful abstractions
  • On Arch Linux, glib2
  • On Debian, libglib2.0-dev
  • On Fedora, glib2-devel
  • On Alpine Linux, glib-dev
• git*: When building from this repo, used to add the commit hash in the --version output
• A build system: To build the project
  • A Makefile exists (which uses meson, ninja and pkg-config/pkgconf), more details are found here.

Runtime dependencies

I would like to eventually remove those, by checking at runtime if they are installed and avoid using them them if they're not. Dependencies marked with an asterisk are optional. This means that if not installed at compile-time, albafetch will be compiled with custom implementations of the functions used. If the binary was compiled with the dependency installed, however, it will be needed at runtime too.

• libpci*:
  • On Arch Linux, pciutils
  • On Debian, libpci3
  • On Fedora, pciutils-libs
  • On Alpine Linux, pciutils-dev
• sqlite3:
  • On Arch Linux, sqlite
  • On Debian, sqlite3
  • On Fedora, sqlite
  • On Alpine Linux, sqlite
• glib*:
  • On Arch Linux, glib2
  • On Debian, libglib2.0-dev
  • On Fedora, glib2-devel
  • On Alpine Linux, glib-dev
• there must be a sh binary in your PATH. This should already be satisfied on any UNIX-like system
