It is strongly recommended to only use it as a reading reference. - -Expect: - -* No Docs or tagged releases -* Large commits and significant breaking changes -* Unreliable/untested APIs -* Naive/low-performance implementations - -The only currently recommended use case is if you are implementing some element of the library functionality and want to see how someone else has tackled it, maybe you will see something useful. - -# Building - -Many project features (e.g. Wayland integration) only build if suitable third-party dependencies are found on the system, otherwise they will be automatically disabled. You can find dependency requirements in the `README.md` file in each module's `src`directory. - -A minimal set of dependencies for each platform are included below. - -## Linux - -Install dependencies: - -```bash -sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config cmake -``` - -Build: - -```bash -mkdir build -cd build -cmake $PATH_TO_SOURCE -make -apps/$NAME_OF_APP -``` - -## Windows - -Tested with Visual Studio 17 with 'Desktop Development with C++' tooling, including ATL and Windows SDK 10 (10.0.19041.0). Additionally, install `cmake`. - -```bash -mkdir build -cd build -cmake $PATH_TO_SOURCE -``` - -You can open the resulting `NotesTK.sln`in Visual Studio and build.
