Build Instructions

Build Instructions

1. Building for Ubuntu desktop

Minimum Requirements

Ubuntu 16.04 or later
Environment created using dali_env script in dali-core repository
GCC version 9
Cmake version 3.8.2 or later

DALi requires a compiler supporting C++17 features.

Building the Repository

To build the repository enter the 'build/tizen' folder:

     $ cd dali-adaptor/build/tizen

Then run the following command to set up the build:

     $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DESKTOP_PREFIX .

If a Debug build is required, then add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

To build run:

     $ make install -j8

Building and executing test cases

See the README.md in dali-adaptor/automated-tests.

2. GBS Builds

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH]

DEBUG Builds

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH] --define "%enable_debug 1"

DS-5 Streamline Trace Builds

By default, when using a GBS build, trace is enabled but Ttrace is used. If you want to use DS-5 Streamline instead then do the following:

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH] --define "%enable_streamline 1"

3. Building for MS Windows

Third party dependencies are built using vcpkg. Instructions on how to install vcpkg can be found in the vcpkg-script folder in the windows-dependencies repository.

Download the windows-dependencies repository from DaliHub

   $ git clone https://github.com/dalihub/windows-dependencies.git

Read the windows-dependencies/vcpkg-script/Readme.md file for more instructions on how to build and install the third-party dependencies.

Build with the Visual Studio project

Read the windows-dependencies/README.md file for more instructions on how to build and run DALi for MS Windows.

Build with CMake

Requirements It's required the version 3.12.2 of CMake and a Git Bash Shell.
Notes and troubleshoting: It should be possible to use the MS Visual studio Developer Command Prompt (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/developer-command-prompt-for-vs) to build DALi from the command line. However, the CMake version installed with MS Visual Studio 2017 is a bit out of date and some VCPKG modules require a higher version. This instructions have been tested with CMake 3.12.2 on a Git Bash shell.
Define an environment variable to set the path to the VCPKG folder

$ export VCPKG_FOLDER=C:/Users/username/Workspace/VCPKG_TOOL
Define an environment variable to set the path where DALi is going to be installed.

$ export DALI_ENV_FOLDER=C:/Users/username/Workspace/dali-env
Execute the following commands to create the makefiles, build and install DALi.

$ cmake -g Ninja . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_FOLDER/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DENABLE_PKG_CONFIGURE=OFF -DENABLE_LINK_TEST=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DALI_ENV_FOLDER -DINSTALL_CMAKE_MODULES=ON -DPROFILE_LCASE=windows $ cmake --build . --target install
Options:
- CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ---> Needed to find packages installed by VCPKG.
- ENABLE_PKG_CONFIGURE ---> Whether to install pkg configure files (not currently working on MS Windows. CMake modules used instead).
- ENABLE_LINK_TEST ---> Whether to enable the link test (not currently working on MS Windows).
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ---> Were DALi is installed.
- INSTALL_CMAKE_MODULES ---> Whether to install the CMake modules (Used by the CMake command find_package() to find previously installed libraries).
- PROFILE_LCASE ---> The platform (must be windows).
- ENABLE_DEBUG ---> Whether to build with debug enabled.

4. Building for MacOS

It is assumed that the DALi environment has been set up & that DALi Core has been built accordingly.
