Come to talk with us in Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#fractal-gtk:matrix.org
 
 
 
Main repository: https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal/
 
 
 
How to Build:
 
 
 
You need meson and ninja to build this project. Rust and cargo are also
 
needed.
 
 
 
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
 
make
 
sudo make install
 
 
 
On MacOS, you will need to:
 
 
 
brew install gtk3+ dbus bash
 
# empirically needs 3.22.19 or later of gtk3+
 
# ...and run configure as:
 
/usr/local/bin/bash -c ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
 
 
 
You may also need to comment out the notification.show block in
 
./fractal-gtk/src/app.rs as apparently notification.wait_for_action
 
is missing on MacOS.
 
 
 
The origin of Fractal:
 
 
 
This project is based on ruma-gtk https://github.com/jplatte/ruma-gtk
 
 
 
Instead of using RUMA Client, Fractal calls directly to the matrix.org
 
REST API.
 
 
 
The first version of this project was called guillotine, based on french revolution,
 
in relation with the Riot client name, but it's a negative name so we decide
 
to change for a math one.
 
 
 
The name Fractal was proposed by Regina Bíró.
