colord ====== colord is a system service that makes it easy to manage, install and generate color profiles to accurately color manage input and output devices. This functionality is implemented as a system activated daemon called colord. Being system activated means that it's only started when the user is using a text mode or graphical tool. What colord does: * Provides a DBus API for other programs to query, e.g. "Get me the profiles for device $foo" or "Create a device and assign it profile $bar" * Provides a persistent database backed store for device -> profile mapping. * Provides the session for a way to set system settings, for instance setting the display profile for all users and all sessions. See [the website](http://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/) for more details. Compiling for Linux =================== Ensure the following packages are installed: * dbus-devel * docbook-utils * gettext * glib2-devel * gobject-introspection-devel * gtk-doc * intltool * lcms2-devel * libgudev1-devel * libgusb-devel * polkit-devel * sqlite-devel * systemd-devel * vala-tools Then just do `./autogen.sh && make` Compiling for Microsoft Windows =============================== * Ensure wine is installed * Compile with a lot of restricted options, e.g. mingw64-configure \ --disable-argyllcms-sensor \ --disable-bash-completion \ --disable-examples \ --disable-polkit \ --disable-print-profiles \ --disable-sane \ --disable-session-example \ --disable-systemd-login \ --disable-udev \ --disable-unix \ --without-pic \ --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/tmp \ --with-udevrulesdir=/tmp && make
