| |
| - | The MeeGo Input Methods are not yet in any official Ubuntu repository. However, the packages are available through [http://launchpad.net Launchpad]. They are provided to ease development of input method plugins, without the need of using the MeeGo SDK or even scratchbox.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | To install the packages, you will need to add two Launchpad PPA's to your system's software sources:
| |
| - | * Under System → Administration → Software Sources, select "Other Software" '''or'''
| |
| - | **Alternatively you can run Synaptics Package Manager and choose the menu ''Setting'' --> ''Package Sources'' where you can add the following PPA's in the tab "Other Software"
| |
| - | *<code>Add ppa:openismus-team/openismus-meego-im</code>
| |
| - | *<code>Add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports</code> (needed for Qt 4.7, on Lucid/Meerkat)
| |
| - | *Install meego-keyboard-dev and meegotouch-demos-widgetsgallery (for simple testing) through Synaptics Package Manager '''or'''
| |
| - | **using this command line command(make sure that Synaptics is closed already):
| |
| - | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install meego-keyboard-dev meegotouch-demos-widgetsgallery

| - | === Debian, and Ubuntu derivatives ===
| |
| - | You might be able to use the packages above. Let us know to which extend you succeed with this.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Fedora ===
| |
| - | For Fedora there are no Maliit packages available in the Fedora repository. But there are packages built with the [http://openbuildservice.org/ Open Build Service (OBS)]. To install them:
| |
| - | * Download [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/janarnepetersen/Fedora_15/home:janarnepetersen.repo .repo file] and save it as ''/etc/yum.repos.d/maliit.repo''.
| |
| - | * Install the packages ''meego-inputmethodkeyboard'' and ''meego-inputmethodbridges'' with the ''Add/Remove Software application''
| |
| - |
| |
| - | For testing Maliit:
| |
| - | * As user start ''meego-im-uiserver'' in a terminal
| |
| - | * Run ''GTK_IM_MODULE=meego-im gedit''
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === openSUSE ===
| |
| - | openSUSE packages are currently in the works. The work-in-progress can be found at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/janarnepetersen
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Arch Linux ===
| |
| - | Preliminary git packages are available [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=meegotouch-input&do_Search=Go in AUR]
| |
| - |
| |
| - | To install framework, keyboard, Qt and Gtk+ support:
| |
| - | yaourt -S meegotouch-inputmethodkeyboard meegotouch-inputmethodbridges
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Substitute yaourt with your favorite AUR helper.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | === Other GNU/Linux ===
| |
| - | Grab the source source code from the git repositories above.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Meego Input Methods uses the qmake build system. So, to do a standard build and install, do:
| |
| - | qmake
| |
| - | make
| |
| - | make install
| |
| - |
| |
| - | '''Dependencies'''
| |
| - | * All components have a hard dependency on Qt 4.7.
| |
| - | * Framework uses libmeegotouch by default. Pass CONFIG+=nomeegotouch to qmake to disable.
| |
| - | * Framework will build a setting applet for meegotouch-controlpanel by default. Pass CONFIG+=noduicontrolpanel to qmake to disable.
| |
| - | * Keyboard uses meego feedback framework (with reactionmaps) by default. Pass CONFIG+=noreactionmaps to qmake to disable.
| |
| - | * Keyboard currently has a hard dependency on libmeegotouch.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | Work is ongoing to reduce the amount of dependencies in the different components.

| |
| - | == Using ==
| |
| - | To quickly test your installation, it is recommended to use the widgetsgallery:
| |
| - | # Make sure you have a compositing window manager running: Go to System → Appearance, select "Visual Effects" and choose either normal or extra.
| |
| - | # Start the meego-im-uiserver (responsible for handling input method plugins and communication with the application) using a shell:
| |
| - | meego-im-uiserver -software -bypass-wm-hint
| |
| - | # Test virtual keyboard in MeeGo Touch's widgetsgallery (in a seperate shell):
| |
| - | QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext widgetsgallery
| |
| - |
| |
| - | To integrate it with your system or product, use the distro-recommended way to start above daemon and setting the environment variable for all applications.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | == Debugging tips ==
| |
| - | # Verify that the correct environment variables are set to load the correct input context (see above).
| |
| - | # Run meego-im-uiserver with the "-output-level debug" flag (in addition to any other existing flags).
| |
| - | # If problems with QT-based application, set the MIC_ENABLE_DEBUG=true. This will make the inputcontext output debug information.
| |
| - | # If problems with GTK+ applications, recompile meegotouch-inputmethodbridges with the --enable-debug flag. This will make the inputcontext output debug information.
