Minesweeper

This is my little project to get into learning GTK with Vala

Dependencies

This project uses system icons which may or may not exist with the same name - or at all - on your system.

• Vala
• GTK4
• Meson
• ninja
• pkg-config

For development also install the Vala Language Server.

For Development with Nix

Note: This step is not required if you are also building it with Nix. Then simply skip ahead to the build instructions.

Note: This includes the Vala Language Server as well.

nix-shell

Void Linux

sudo xbps-install -S gcc vala cmake meson ninja pkg-config gtk4-devel

Fedora Linux

sudo dnf install gcc vala cmake meson ninja-build pkg-config gtk4-devel

Build instructions

With Nix

1. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/kintrix007/minesweeper.git

2. Build it

   nix-build
   # Or, to build it with the alternate CLI-only UI
   nix-build --arg cliOnly true

3. Install the package globally (optional)

   nix-env -i ./result

The built derivation will be symlinked as result in the current working directory.

With Meson

1. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/kintrix007/minesweeper.git

2. Install dependencies

3. Set up build directory

   meson setup builddir
   # Or to build with the alternate CLI-only UI
   meson setup builddir -Dcli_only=true

4. Compile the code

   meson compile -C builddir

   You are done. The executable is located at builddir/minesweeper.

5. Install the binaries globally (optional)

   meson install -C builddir
