Building

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$ make

Design notes

Calamares is currently split as follows:

  • libcalamares - the backend library,
  • only depends on QtCore, yaml-cpp, Python and Boost.Python,
  • provides a job queue and generic jobs,
  • comes with 3 job interfaces: C++, Python and process (the latter is very limited);
  • libcalamaresui - the frontend library,
  • same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules,
  • comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins,
  • themeable so branding can be done easily (plugin-based, TBD),
  • presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the backend library;
  • calamares - the main executable,
  • a thin wrapper around libcalamaresui, starts up and plugs together all the parts.
