_Lambda has not been compiled on macOS at the time of writing. If you have a macOS system and you want to give some information, please get in touch._

|

|
Compiling Lambda on *NIX systems consists of installing the required dependencies, cloning the repository and building Lambda.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Dependencies
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need a Go compiler, at the time of writing 1.25.5. Depending on your platform Go may be able to fetch and compile a newer version even if you are using a version below 1.25.5.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Almost all *NIX distributions have Go in their repositories. If for whatever reason you cannot use those then you can get Go from the [official website](https://go.dev/).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A C compiler is also required because Lambda uses GTK4.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following dependencies are required to be installed before compilation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- glib-2.0
|
||||||
|
- gobject-2.0
|
||||||
|
- cairo
|
||||||
|
- cairo-gobject
|
||||||
|
- gio-2.0
|
||||||
|
- gobject-introspection
|
||||||
|
- gdk-pixbuf-2.0
|
||||||
|
- graphene-gobject-1.0
|
||||||
|
- graphene-1.0
|
||||||
|
- gtk4
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some of these packages may be listed under different names on different distributions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are running a modern X11/Wayland system with GTK apps, then all of these packages should already be installed, and simply installing `gtk4` will suffice. If not, you can install them with your local package manager.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other than the GTK4-related dependencies, no other dependencies are required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Cloning
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
git clone https://forge.sunglocto.net/lambda/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Building
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are not compiling Lambda in order to test a code change, or are doing so for regular usage, you should strip debug information by using the -s -w flags:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
go build -ldflags "-s -w"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Otherwise, simply run `go build`.
