Building

Clone Calamares from GitHub and cd into the calamares directory, then:

$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_PARTITIONMANAGER=1 ..
$ make

Design Notes

Calamares is currently split as follows:

  1. libcalamares - The back-end 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).
  1. libcalamaresui - The front-end library.
  • Same dependencies as libcalamares, plus QtWidgets and other Qt modules.
  • Comes with a module loading system, for different kinds of plugins.
  • Supports branding components.
  • Presents a bunch of pages in a scripted order, enqueues jobs in the back-end library.
  1. calamares - The main executable.
  • A thin wrapper around libcalamaresui; starts up and plugs together all the parts.
