Build Instructions

1. Building for Ubuntu desktop

Requirements

• Ubuntu 14.04 or later
• Environment created using dali_env script in dali-core repository
• GCC version 6

DALi requires a compiler supporting C++11 features. Ubuntu 16.04 is the first version to offer this by default (GCC v5.4.0).

GCC version 6 is recommended since it has fixes for issues in version 5 e.g. it avoids spurious 'defined but not used' warnings in header files.

Building the Repository

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

     $ cd dali-toolkit/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-toolkit/automated-tests.

2. GBS Builds

NON-SMACK Targets

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH]

SMACK enabled Targets

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

DEBUG Builds

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH] --define "%enable_debug 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 However, the CMake version installed with MS Visual Studio 2017 is a bit out of date and some VCPKG modules require a higher version.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 -DUSE_DEFAULT_RESOURCE_DIR=OFF $ 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).
  • ENABLE_DEBUG ---> Whether to build with debug enabled.
  • USE_DEFAULT_RESOURCE_DIR ---> Whether to use the default resource folders. Otherwise set environment variables for DALI_IMAGE_DIR, DALI_SOUND_DIR, DALI_STYLE_DIR, DALI_STYLE_IMAGE_DIR and DALI_DATA_READ_ONLY_DIR
