This file is supposed to guide you step by step to have working (compiling) version of Natron on FreeBSD.
In order to have Natron compiling, first you need to install the required libraries.
pkg install qt4 boost-all pyside-py27 expat cairo pkgconf
Go under Natron and type
git submodule update -i --recursive
###Add the config.pri file
You have to define the locations of some required libraries. This is done by creating a .pri file next to the Project.pro that will tell the .pro where to find those libraries. The only library to put in the config.pri file on unix systems is boost. For all other libraries are found with PKGConfig.
- create the config.pri file next to the Project.pro file.
You can fill it with the following proposed code to point to the libraries. Of course you need to provide valid paths that are valid on your system.
INCLUDEPATH is the path to the include files
LIBS is the path to the libs
boost: LIBS += -lboost_serialization
PKGCONFIG += expat
PKGCONFIG += fontconfig
cairo {
PKGCONFIG += cairo
LIBS -= $$system(pkg-config --variable=libdir cairo)/libcairo.a
}
pyside {
PKGCONFIG -= pyside
INCLUDEPATH += $$system(pkg-config --variable=includedir pyside)
INCLUDEPATH += $$system(pkg-config --variable=includedir pyside)/QtCore
INCLUDEPATH += $$system(pkg-config --variable=includedir pyside)/QtGui
INCLUDEPATH += $$system(pkg-config --variable=includedir QtGui)
LIBS += -lpyside-python2.7
}
shiboken {
PKGCONFIG -= shiboken
INCLUDEPATH += $$system(pkg-config --variable=includedir shiboken)
LIBS += -lshiboken-python2.7
}
###Download OpenColorIO-Configs
In the past, OCIO configs were a submodule, though due to the size of the repository, we have chosen instead to make a tarball release and let you download it here. Place it at the root of Natron repository.
The must be absolute and must not be a subdir of
mkdir <buildPath>
cd <buildfolder>
qmake -r CONFIG+=disable-breakpad <srcPath>/Project.pro
make
If you want to build in DEBUG mode change the qmake call to this line:
qmake -r CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=disable-breakpad <srcPath>/Project.pro
Some debug options are available for developers of Natron and you can see them in the global.pri file. To enable an option just add CONFIG+= in the qmake call.
Natron's nodes are contained in separate repositories. To use the default nodes, you must also build the following repositories:
https://github.com/devernay/openfx-misc
https://github.com/MrKepzie/openfx-io
You'll find installation instructions in the README of both these repositories. Both openfx-misc and openfx-io have submodules as well.
Plugins must be installed in /usr/OFX/Plugins on FreeBSD Or in a directory named "Plugins" located in the parent directory where the binary lies, e.g:
bin/
Natron
Plugins/
IO.ofx.bundle
Note that if you want Natron to find the OpenColorIO config files you will need to
place them in the appropriate location. In the repository they are located under
Gui/Resources/OpenColorIO-Configs
.
You must copy them to a directory named ../share/OpenColorIO-Configs
relative to Natron's binary.
