Building

Building miraclecast

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

• autotools:

    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ mkdir build
    $ ../configure
    $ make
    $ make install
  

• cmake:

    $ mkdir build && cd build
    $ cmake .. 
    $ make
    $ make install
  

• meson:

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

Tips:

• 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
