%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Colord Colord is a system service that makes it easy to manage, install, and generate color profiles. It is used mainly by GNOME Color Manager for system integration and use when no users are logged in. &lfs7a_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &colord1-md5sum; Download size: &colord1-size; Estimated disk space required: &colord1-buildsize; Estimated build time: &colord1-time; Colord Dependencies Required , , , and Recommended , , , , , and Optional , and (to build the example tools), , , , ArgLLCMS, and Bash Completion User Notes: This package will overwrite any previous version of Colord that you may have on your system. This package is a development version and is only intended to be used by gnome-color-manager at this time. There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the colord daemon after it has started. Issue the following commands as the root user: groupadd -g 71 colord && useradd -c "Color Daemon Owner" -d /var/lib/colord -u 71 \ -g colord -s /bin/false colord Install Colord by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-daemon-user=colord \ --enable-vala \ --enable-daemon \ --enable-session-helper \ --enable-libcolordcompat \ --disable-rpath \ --disable-argyllcms-sensor \ --disable-bash-completion \ --disable-static && make Now, as the root user: make install To test the results, issue: make -k check. At least one test, ./lib/colord/.libs/lt-cd-test-daemon, may fail. The test suite must be run after the package is installed, and the system-wide D-Bus Daemon must be running. --with-daemon-user=colord: This switch is used so the colord daemon will run as an unprivileged user instead of the root user. --enable-vala: This switch enables building the Vala bindings. Remove if you don't have installed. --enable-daemon: This switch enables building the Colord daemon. --enable-session-helper: This switch enables building the session helper for Colord. --enable-libcolordcompat: This switch enables building a compatibility library for older packages that use Colord. --disable-rpath: This switch prevents the build process from hard-coding library paths into its executables. --disable-argyllcms-sensor: This switch disables the ArgLLCMS sensor driver. Omit if you have ArgLLCMS installed and wish to use it. --disable-bash-completion: This switch disables Bash Completion support for Colord applications. --disable-gusb: Use this switch if you don't have libgusb installed. --disable-udev: Use this switch if you don't have libgudev installed. --disable-polkit: Use this switch if you don't have polkit installed.
