DeforaOS Browser ================ About Browser ------------- Browser is a file manager and image browser. It can be extended through plug-ins, which are then displayed in the left pane of the file management windows. Browser is part of the DeforaOS Project, found at https://www.defora.org/. Compiling Browser ----------------- Browser depends on the following components: * Gtk+ 2.4 or newer, or Gtk+ 3.0 or newer * DeforaOS libDesktop * an implementation of `make` * gettext (libintl) for translations * DocBook-XSL for the manual pages * GTK-Doc for the API documentation With these installed, the following command should be enough to compile and install Browser on most systems: $ make install To install (or package) Browser in a different location, use the `PREFIX` option as follows: $ make PREFIX="/another/prefix" install Browser also supports `DESTDIR`, to be installed in a staging directory; for instance: $ make DESTDIR="/staging/directory" PREFIX="/another/prefix" install The compilation process supports a number of other options, such as OBJDIR for compilation outside of the source tree for instance. On some systems, the Makefiles shipped may have to be re-generated accordingly. This can be performed with the DeforaOS configure tool. Documentation ------------- Manual pages for each of the executables installed are available in the `doc` folder. They are written in the DocBook-XML format, and need libxslt and DocBook-XSL to be installed for conversion to the HTML or man file format. Likewise, the API reference for Browser (plug-ins) is available in the `doc/gtkdoc` folder, and is generated using gtk-doc. Extending Browser ----------------- Plug-ins for the Browser program can be written according to the API definitions installed and found in `` (in the source code in the `include/Browser.h` file). A sample plug-in can be found in `src/plugins/template.c`. Further plug-ins may also be found in the [DeforaOS Integration](https://www.defora.org/os/project/4339/Integration) project.
