Ubuntu – Corebird twitter client for Ubuntu 14.04

twitter

I have recently installed ubuntu on my laptop (wubi method) and I'm very pleased. All and all it does everything that I need, but recently I heard about corebird – a twitter client that looks spot on. I have been searching but I couldn't find how to install it on ubuntu 14.04. Can you help me doing so?

I have tried other twitter clients like hotot, turpial and birdie, but I don't like them that much.

Thanks in advance, cheers!

EDIT
I have finally installed valac. However, there is another problem with gtk+-3.12.0. After typing ./configure, I get:

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.39.5 atk >= 2.7.5 pango >= 1.32.4 cairo >= 1.12.0 cairo-gobject >= 1.12.0 gdk-pixbuf-2.0 >= 2.27.1) were not met:

No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found
No package 'cairo-gobject' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

There's now a PPA that contains Corebird packages, available for Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/corebird

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install corebird

Ubuntu 14.04 user also need Gnome3 and Gnome 3 Staging PPA for the dependencies:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
