blucontrol

Configuration

Read the Haddock documentation and use Main.hs as a template.

Install

Nix

Install blucontrol with the nix package manager.

nix-env --install blucontrol-with-packages

Watch out: haskellPackages.blucontrol is just the library, but doesn't add GHC to the PATH. You need blucontrol-with-packages to be able to compile your configuration.

You can also install it from the cloned repository.

git clone https://github.com/jumper149/blucontrol.git
cd blucontrol
nix-env --install --file default.nix

AUR

Build blucontrol with makepkg and install with pacman. You might need to install some dependencies from the AUR.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/blucontrol.git
cd blucontrol
makepkg --syncdeps --install

Cabal

Make sure to install dependencies that are not managed by cabal.

• libx11-dev
• libxrandr-dev

If you want to actually use blucontrol without installing I recommend editing Main.hs in the source tree instead of using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/blucontrol/blucontrol.hs. This way you avoid problems with finding libraries, since blucontrol invokes GHC to compile the configuration at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/blucontrol/blucontrol.hs.

git clone https://github.com/jumper149/blucontrol.git
cd blucontrol
$EDITOR Main.hs
cabal run blucontrol -- --ignore-config

Development

Nix

Enter the nix-shell for development.

git clone https://github.com/jumper149/blucontrol.git
cd blucontrol
nix-shell

In nix-shell use cabal to build, run tests and execute blucontrol.

cabal build
cabal run test
cabal run blucontrol -- --ignore-config

Build blucontrol with nix-build.

nix-build
