Building miraclecast

Build systems

You have a series of options to build miraclecast. Each one is feature complete so as you will:

autotools:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../autogen.sh g --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make install

See g option is for debug compilation Use c for optimized compilation

cmake:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. 
$ make
$ make install

meson:

$ meson build --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja test
$ ninja install

Tips:

• Usually you need to install as privilege user. There's many ways to do that, normally sudo will work

  $ sudo make install
  $ sudo ninja install
  

• In autotools autogen.sh accepts arguments to have specific configuration:

  • c: compilation
  • g: debugging
  • a: pure/const warning
  • l: clang build
  • s: scan-build reporting

• In cmake remember to remove CMakeCache.txt or cmake . will not regenerate Makefiles

• Meson build use mesontest --wrap to run test with specific executable. Use that to pass test with valgrind

• By default all will be installed in /usr/local. if you want to install in standard /usr path add --prefix=/usr to autogen.sh or meson build. For cmake use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

• Install step may require root privileges. This is commonly solved using sudo

• dbus policy is needed to expose dbus interfaces. This is read on '/etc' normally but you can modify it with: --syconfdir on autotools and meson or -DSYSCONFDIR on cmake
