Included Programs

For various reasons, Zrythm ships with some libraries/resources that could be packaged separately. If you wish to package them separately and make Zrythm use them, you can pass the flags found in meson_options.txt.

Debug Symbols

Please do not strip symbols to assist with meaningful stack traces which are sent with bug reports.

Docs

See the manpage and user_manual meson options.

Post-Install Commands

Depending on the distro, some of the following commands will need to be run with appropriate options. Some distros run these automatically.

glib-compile-schemas
fc-cache
gtk-update-icon-cache
update-mime-database
update-desktop-database
update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders

See the post-install script for more details.

Trademarks

As mentioned in the Trademark Policy, if you wish to distribute modified versions of Zrythm, you must either get permission or replace the name and logo.

To replace the trademarked name and logo, you can use the program_name and custom_logo_and_splash meson options, after replacing all files inside data/icon-themes/zrythm-dark/scalable/apps. There may be more things that need to be changed that we missed. If you find any, please let us know.
