Unable to run locally

[Zisu Andrei]

Hey guys,

So I've downloaded the Mail app code in an attempt to work on it and I ran into the first problem: the configure script is missing.

I see revision 1950 removed that file, invoking a "legacy build system". Which one is the new one? INSTALL file needs to be updated to reflect this.

I used the Yorba configure file, which succeeded in building the application, but I presume this caused the next problem, when I run the geary binary, I get this:

matzipan@matzipan-thinkpad:~/Workspace/pantheon-mail$ ./geary
** (geary:9158): ERROR **: geary-controller.vala:582: Unable to parse app_menu.interface: Failed to open file '/home/matzipan/Workspace/pantheon-mail/ui/app_menu.interface': No such file or directory
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

So I guess the "new" build process handles ui files packaging?

I've updated the INSTALL file. The build system used here is CMake.

There is a bug where for some reason running locally thinks that ui files should be in a folder that doesn't exist. As a workaround you can link the "data" folder to "ui"

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

Well, the code first looks for the ui folder in /usr/share. If it doesn't
find it there, it looks in the current working directory. I guess we could
use the build process to copy the ui folder in the build folder. Or better
yet, change the code to look for data/ui, although that might require
backporting?

Hey Zisu, it's been addressed in the linked branch

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

Ah, cool.
