Building from Source

To build Equibop, the standalone client, you must have the following dependencies installed:

• Git
• Bun

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Equicord/Equibop
cd Equibop

# Install Dependencies
bun install

Build Targets & Options

Equibop can be built or run in several ways:

• Run without packaging: bun start
• Package for your OS: bun package
• Build Linux Pacman package: bun package --linux pacman
• Package to a directory only: bun package:dir

Building LibVesktop from Source

LibVesktop is a small C++ helper library that Equibop uses on Linux to emit D-Bus events. By default, prebuilt binaries for x64 and arm64 are used.

If you prefer to build it from source yourself, follow these steps:

1. Install build dependencies:

• Debian/Ubuntu: apt install build-essential python3 curl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev
• Fedora: dnf install @c-development @development-tools python3 curl pkgconf-pkg-config glib2-devel

2. Run the build command:

bun buildLibVesktop

3. Finalize: From now on, building Equibop will prioritize and use your local build of LibVesktop.
