Build Instructions
Shaka Packager supports building on Windows, Mac and Linux host systems.
Linux build dependencies
Most development is done on Ubuntu (currently 22.04 LTS, Jammy Jellyfish). The dependencies mentioned here are only for Ubuntu. There are some instructions for other distros below.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y \
curl \
build-essential cmake git ninja-build python3
Note that git
must be v1.7.6 or above to support relative paths in submodules.
Mac system requirements
-
Xcode 7.3+.
-
The OS X 10.10 SDK or later. Run
ls `xcode-select -p`/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs
to check whether you have it.
Install Ninja (recommended) using Homebrew
brew install ninja
Windows system requirements
- Visual Studio 2017 or newer.
- Windows 10 or newer.
Recommended version of Visual Studio is 2022, the Community edition should work for open source development of tools like Shaka Packager but please check the Community license terms for your specific situation.
Install the "Desktop development with C++" workload which will install CMake and other needed tools.
If you use chocolatey, you can install these dependencies with:
choco install -y `
git cmake ninja python `
visualstudio2022community visualstudio2022-workload-nativedesktop `
visualstudio2022buildtools windows-sdk-10.0
# Find python install
$pythonpath = Get-Item c:\Python* | sort CreationDate | Select-Object -First 1
# Symlink python3 to python
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink `
-Path "$pythonpath/python3.exe" -Target "$pythonpath/python.exe"
# Update global PATH
$env:PATH += ";C:\Program Files\Git\bin;c:\Program Files\CMake\bin;$pythonpath"
setx PATH "$env:PATH"
Get the code
Dependencies are now managed via git submodules. To get a complete checkout you can run:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager.git
Build Shaka Packager
Linux and Mac
Shaka Packager uses CMake as the main build tool, with Ninja as the recommended generator (outside of Windows).
cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
If you want to build debug code, replace Release
above with Debug
.
You can change other build settings with -D
flags to CMake, for example
you can build a shared libpackager
instead of static by adding
-DLIBPACKAGER_SHARED="ON"
After configuring CMake you can run the build with
cmake --build build --parallel
Windows
Windows build instructions are similar. Using Tools > Command Line >
Developer Command Prompt should open a terminal with cmake and ctest in the
PATH. Omit the -G Ninja
to use the default backend, and pass --config
during build to select the desired configuration from Visual Studio.
cmake -B build
cmake --build build --parallel --config Release
Build artifacts
After a successful build, you can find build artifacts including the main
packager
binary in build output directory (build/packager/
for a Ninja
build, build/packager/Release/
for a Visual Studio release build, or
build/packager/Debug/
for a Visual Studio debug build).
See Shaka Packager Documentation
on how to use Shaka Packager
.
Update your checkout
To update an existing checkout, you can run
git pull origin main --rebase
git submodule update --init --recursive
The first command updates the primary Packager source repository and rebases on
top of tip-of-tree (aka the Git branch origin/main
). You can also use other
common Git commands to update the repo.
The second updates submodules for third-party dependencies.
Notes for other linux distros
The docker files at packager/testing/dockers
have the most up to
date commands for installing dependencies. For example:
Alpine Linux
Use apk
command to install dependencies:
apk add --no-cache \
bash curl \
bsd-compat-headers linux-headers \
build-base cmake git ninja python3
Arch Linux
Instead of running sudo apt-get install
to install build dependencies, run:
pacman -Suy --needed --noconfirm \
core/which \
cmake gcc git ninja python3
Debian
Same as Ubuntu.
apt-get install -y \
curl \
build-essential cmake git ninja-build python3
Fedora
Instead of running sudo apt-get install
to install build dependencies, run:
yum install -y \
which \
libatomic \
cmake gcc-c++ git ninja-build python3
CentOS
For CentOS, Ninja is only available from the CRB (Code Ready Builder) repo
dnf update -y
dnf install -y yum-utils
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb
then same as Fedora
yum install -y \
which \
libatomic \
cmake gcc-c++ git ninja-build python3
OpenSUSE
Use zypper
command to install dependencies:
zypper in -y \
curl which \
cmake gcc9-c++ git ninja python3
OpenSuse 15 doesn't have the required gcc 9+ by default, but we can install it as gcc9 and symlink it.
ln -s g++-9 /usr/bin/g++
ln -s gcc-9 /usr/bin/gcc
Tips, tricks, and troubleshooting
Xcode license agreement
If you are getting the error
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
the Xcode license has not been accepted yet which (contrary to the message) any user can do by running:
xcodebuild -license
Only accepting for all users of the machine requires root:
sudo xcodebuild -license
Using an IDE
No specific instructions are available. However most IDEs with CMake support should work out of the box
Contributing
If you have improvements or fixes, we would love to have your contributions. See https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
We have continue integration tests setup on pull requests. You can also verify locally by running the tests manually.
ctest -C Debug -V --test-dir build
You can find out more about GoogleTest at its GitHub page.
You should install clang-format
(using apt install
or brew install
depending on platform) to ensure that all code changes are
properly formatted.
You should commit or stage (with git add
) any code changes first. Then run
git clang-format --style Chromium origin/main
This will run formatting over just the files you modified (any changes since origin/main).
