To build Gajim a PEP517 build frontend like pip (https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) or build (https://pypa-build.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) must be used.

The build frontend takes care of installing all python build requirements. Beware gettext is not a python library and cannot be installed by the build frontend.

./pep517build/build_metadata.py -o dist/metadata

This is only necessary if you need the wheel, otherwise you can skip to the Installing section.

python -m build -w

pip wheel --no-deps --use-pep517 -w dist .

pip install .

pip install dist/name_of_wheel.whl

./pep517build/install_metadata.py dist/metadata --prefix=/usr

• python -m unittest discover -s test
• python -m unittest ./test/dialogs/gui_file.py (for testing GUI files)

• Arch Linux
• Debian
• Fedora
• Ubuntu
• FreeBSD

• Daily Linux
• Daily Windows

To create a virtualenv you can execute

./scripts/dev_env.sh

Be sure all install requirements are available.

Afterwards activate the virtual environment with

source .venv/bin/activate
./launch.py

see README

Execute gajim with --verbose
