Cog is a small single “window” launcher for the WebKit WPE port. It is small, provides no user interface, and is suitable to be used as a Web application container. The “window” may be fullscreen depending on the WPE backend being used.
This project provides the following components:
-
libcogcore
is a library with ready-to-use components typically needed for implementing applications which use the WPE WebKit API. -
cog
is the launcher itself, implemented using thelibcogcore
library. -
cogctl
is a tool which can be used to control acog
instance using the D-Bus session bus.
It is possible to disable building the cog
and cogctl
programs by passing
-DCOG_BUILD_PROGRAMS=OFF
to CMake.
Stable releases have the following dependencies:
- WPE WebKit 2.24.x
- libwpe 1.8.x
- WPEBackend-fdo 1.8.x (optional, recommended)
Note that building from the master
branch will often require development
releases of WPE WebKit, libwpe, and WPEBackend-fdo; while older Cog releases
may have different version
requirements.
Compiling Cog follows the usual procedure for projects which use
CMake: cmake . && make
should get you started, if your
system has the needed dependencies installed.
