# FeedTheMonkey
|
||
|
||
FeedTheMonkey is a desktop client for any server that implements the
|
||
[Greader API](https://github.com/theoldreader/api) (such as FreshRSS or Miniflux). It doesn't work as a standalone feed reader —
|
||
it connects to a server to fetch articles and sync read state.
|
||
|
||
This is version 3, rewritten in Rust with GTK4 and libadwaita.
|
||
|
||
## Dependencies
|
||
|
||
### Runtime
|
||
|
||
- GTK 4 (`gtk4`)
|
||
- libadwaita (`libadwaita`)
|
||
- WebKitGTK 6 (`webkitgtk-6.0`)
|
||
- GLib / GIO (`glib-2.0`, `gio-2.0`)
|
||
|
||
On Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S gtk4 libadwaita webkitgtk-6.0`
|
||
|
||
### Build
|
||
|
||
- Rust toolchain (`rustup` / `cargo`)
|
||
- `blueprint-compiler` — compiles `.blp` UI files to `.ui`
|
||
- `glib-compile-schemas` — compiles GSettings schemas (part of `glib2`)
|
||
- `glib-compile-resources` — compiles GResource bundles (part of `glib2`)
|
||
|
||
On Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S blueprint-compiler glib2`
|
||
|
||
## Building
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cargo build --release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The binary is at `target/release/feedthemonkey`.
|
||
|
||
## Installing
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo ./install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This installs the binary, icon, desktop entry, and GSettings schema to `/usr/local`.
|
||
Set `PREFIX` to install elsewhere:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo PREFIX=/usr ./install.sh
|
||
```
