Spacelink

A graphical application for sending SMS/MMS messages, built with libcosmic for the COSMIC desktop environment, and in the future, the COSMIC mobile shell.

Building

Spacelink uses Git for version control, Meson/Ninja as the build system, and Flatpak for packaging the application. The quickest way to build for release is to do the following:

Getting the source

git clone https://gitlab.com/maxrdz/spacelink.git
cd spacelink/

Dependencies

• libcosmic
• ModemManager
• mmsd-tng
• feedbackd

To build Spacelink, run the following in the repo root directory:

meson setup build
meson compile -C build

You can append the -Dprofile=debug argument to build for debug.

Building the Flatpak

First, install the required dependencies on your Flatpak environment:

# Install flatpak builder and runtime
flatpak install flathub org.flatpak.Builder org.freedesktop.Platform
# Install runtime extensions (rust toolchain & LLVM)
flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.llvm18

To build the flatpak, run:

flatpak run org.flatpak.Builder --user --install --force-clean flatpakbuild/ com.maxrdz.Spacelink.json

Installing

To install a build of Spacelink, run:

meson install -C build

Cross Compiling

PLEASE install cross-rs via:

cargo install cross --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross

The cross project is in a weird state where it doesn't have much motivation and/or time to cut a release, so you need to pull from the main branch to get a lot of bug fixes since the 'latest' release as of December 2024.

Then, you can run:

meson setup build -Dtarget=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
meson compile -C build
