Yet Another Dialog

NB:

Well, sorry for silence but i'm too busy right now (fucking war, fucking russians). After all i'm still alive

Just want to say - YAD is not an abandoned project. Because of external circumstances i cannot maintain it very actively, but i lurk for all of yours reports and proposals and keeps it in my mind

Thanks for understanding and patience

=========

A fresh gtk2 branch of YAD can be obtained from this repository - https://github.com/step-/yad

Building git version

Get git version with command

git clone https://github.com/v1cont/yad.git yad-dialog-code

Before run the standard ./configure && make && make install procedure you need to generate build scripts. This can be done by running command

autoreconf -ivf

You must manually run gtk-update-icon-cache after installation.

For successfully build you may need to install the following packages:

• GNU Autotools (https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)
• gettext >= 0.19.7 (https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/)
• GTK+ >= 3.22.0 (http://www.gtk.org) with appropriate -dev packages depending on your distro

Additionally, you can build yad with the following libraries:

• Webkit - for supporting HTML dialog (http://webkitgtk.org)
• GtkSourceView - for enabling syntax highlighting in text-info dialog (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GtkSourceView)
• GSpell - for support spell checking in text fields (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gspell)

In standalone build (configure option --enable-standalone) some defaults can be redefined with the following defines

BORDERS - set the default border width around dialog. Default is 5
REMAIN - if defined, timeout indicator will show the remaining time
COMBO_EDIT - if defined, combo-box in entry dialog will be always editable
