## Getting in Touch
If you have any questions regarding the
use or development of Hammond, want to discuss design or simply hang out, please join us in [#hammond on irc.gnome.org.](irc://irc.gnome.org/#hammond)

Sidenote:

There isn't much documentation yet, so you will probably have question about parts of the Code.

## Quick start
The following steps assume you have a working installation of rustc and cargo.
If you dont take a look at [rustup.rs](rustup.rs)

```sh
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/alatiera/hammond.git
cd Hammond/
cargo run -p hammond-gtk --release
```

## Install from soure
```sh
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/alatiera/hammond.git
cd Hammond/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make && sudo make install
```

**Additionall:**

You can run `sudo make uninstall` for removal

And `make clean` to clean up the enviroment after instalation.

### Flatpak
Flatpak instructions... Soon™.

## Building

###  Dependancies

* Rust stable 1.21 or later.
* Gtk+ 3.22 or later
* Meson

**Debian/Ubuntu**:
```sh
apt-get update -yqq
apt-get install -yqq --no-install-recommends build-essential
apt-get install -yqq --no-install-recommends libgtk-3-dev meson
```

**Fedora**:
```sh
dnf install -y gtk3-devel glib2-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel meson
```

If you happen to build it on other distributions please let me know the names of the corresponding libraries. Feel free to open a PR or an Issue to note it.

```sh
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/alatiera/Hammond.git
cd Hammond/
cargo build --all
```

## Call for designers

Currently there no design plans or mockups. They are highly needed in order to advance the Gtk Client.

There is the will for a complete client re-write if a someone contributes the mockups.

If you happen to be a designer and want to contribute please hope on [#hammond](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html) and get in touch with us.

## Contributing

There alot of thins yet to be done.

## A note about the project's name

The project was named after Allan Moore's character [Evey Hammond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evey_Hammond) from the graphic novel V for Vendetta.

It has nothing to do with the horrible headlines on the news.

## Acknowledgments

Hammond's design is heavily insired by [Gnome-Music](https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Music) and [Vocal](http://vocalproject.net/).

We also copied some elements from [Gnome-news](https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Potential/News).

And almost the entirety of the build system is copied from the [Fractal](https://gitlab.gnome.org/danigm/fractal) project.
