Summary
-------
Colloquium is a presentation program that is more than just "slideware".
Instead of concentrating on slides, Colloquium makes the "narrative" of your
presentation the most important thing. Slides are embedded in your narrative,
forming part of the flow of your talk.
Installation instructions
-------------------------
Colloquium uses the Meson build system (http://mesonbuild.com), which works
with Ninja (https://ninja-build.org/). Start by installing these if you don't
already have them. For example, in Fedora:
$ sudo dnf install meson ninja-build
or for Debian/Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt install meson ninja-build
or for Mac OS users, using Homebrew (https://brew.sh):
$ brew install meson ninja
You will also need the gettext and GTK 3 development files:
$ sudo dnf install gettext-devel gtk3-devel
or:
$ sudo apt install gettext-devel libgtk-3-dev
or:
$ brew install gettext gtk+3
This should pull in the other dependencies, which are GDK, GLib, GIO, Cairo,
Pango and gdk-pixbuf. You may need to additionally install Flex and Bison.
Set up the build directory using Meson:
$ meson build
Compile Colloquium using Ninja:
$ ninja -C build
To install:
$ sudo ninja -C build install
Running the program
-------------------
Colloquium should appear in your desktop environment's menus. Alternatively,
it can be started from the command line:
$ colloquium
The first time Colloquium runs, it will show an introduction document to help
you get started.
