• gobject-introspection
• gettext
• libgee-0.8-dev
• libgirepository1.0-dev
• libgtk-4-dev >= 4.22.0
• sassc
• valac

To build the Demo you’ll additionally need:

• libshumate-dev

Run meson setup to configure the build environment:

meson setup build --prefix=/usr

This command creates a build directory. For all following commands, change to the build directory before running them.

To build granite, use ninja:

ninja

To install, use ninja install

Documentation

Documentation for all of the classes and functions in Granite 7 is available on Valadoc

The additional requirements for building the documentation are:

• valadoc
• gtk-doc

To generate gtk-doc and valadoc documentation for this project, pass the additional -Ddocumentation=true flag to meson, and run ninja as before.
