Gpick - advanced color picker and palette editor.

Gpick is an application that allows you to sample any color from anywhere on the desktop, and use it to create palettes (i.e. collections of colors) for use in graphic design applications. Gpick also has other features that help in the creation of color palettes, such as:

• The ability to create a palette from an imported image
• Automatic naming of colors
• Color scheme generator
• Import and export from various file formats

Building from source

Compiler

Some of C++14 features are required. Compilation is currently only tested on following compilers:

• GCC 7.5 and 10.2.
• Clang 10.0.

Build dependencies

CMake 3.1 or newer: build process management application (https://cmake.org/).

SCons 2.4 or newer: a software construction tool (http://www.scons.org).

Either CMake or SCons can be used. Package maintainers should use CMake, because SCons support is deprecated and will be removed at some point in the future.

Ragel 6.8 or newer: state machine compiler (http://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel).

Dependencies

GTK+ 3.0 (http://www.gtk.org).

GTK+ 2.24 (http://www.gtk.org).

Either GTK+ 3.x or GTK+ 2.x can be used.

Lua 5.4, 5.3 or 5.2 (http://www.lua.org).

Expat (http://expat.sourceforge.net).

Boost 1.58 or newer (http://www.boost.org). Used libraries:

• Filesystem.
• System.
• Interprocess.
• Test (only when building/running tests).

Optional dependencies

gettext (http://www.gnu.org/s/gettext). Required if ENABLE_NLS is enabled. Required by default.

Building

Using CMake:

mkdir build && cd build

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

make

make install

DESTDIR

DESTDIR

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

Using SCons:

scons

build/source/

scons install

DESTDIR

DESTDIR

/usr/local

Build options
