REQUIREMENTS

Requires perl 5.14.2< and:

apt-get install build-essential libgd2-xpm-dev libssl-dev git wget libxml2-dev imagemagick

INSTALLATION

After checking out, you require to install the requirements. You must have installed Dist::Zilla, then you can do the following to install the base Perl requirements:

dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm
dzil listdeps --missing | cpanm

Additionally, you require to install DDGC deps from duckpan:

duckpan DDGC::Static

When you checked out the repository you must once run this command to get a base database installed in your home:

script/ddgc_deploy_dev.pl

You might need to use the --kill switch if you already have one, or want to reset it:

script/ddgc_deploy_dev.pl --kill

For the flags to work you need to generate the sprites used for the flags. This process has to be repeated everytime the country flags are changing.

script/ddgc_generate_flag_sprites.pl

DEVELOPING

You can start the web server, if you are inside the repository with:

script/ddgc_web_server.pl -r -d

If you want to do any of the above activities with intense debug logging you can use the following ENV variables before the command, like in this example:

DBIC_TRACE_PROFILE=console DBIC_TRACE=1 script/ddgc_web_server.pl -r -d

The -r switch assures that it reloads itself, if some of the codefiles are changed. For changes on templates he will not restart. (If you work on the blog you sadly have to restart by hand if you change the data file).

The -d switch sets the web server into debugging mode. This activates a side bar with additional request informations, and also shows you much more informations on the terminal. If you don't want those, you can just deactivate it. For work on HTML/CSS or the blog it might disturb.
