parrot-groundsdk

This is an adaptation of the parrot groundsdk https://github.com/Parrot-Developers to run on Windows, but as CMake is used it, compiles on Linux too. This has been done:

• Some code fixes
• Most of the work has been to translate the atom.mk files to CMakeLists.txt build files.

To use

git clone [path-to-this-repo]
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule foreach "git switch master"

Windows

MinGW toolchain

Mingw-x64 gcc must be installed and used, MSVC does not work! Below is a good guide to follow. Consider installing VSCode too. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw

1. Get the latest version of Mingw-w64 via MSYS2, which provides up-to-date native builds of GCC, Mingw-w64, and other helpful C++ tools and libraries. You can download the latest installer from the MSYS2 page or use this link to the installer.
2. Follow the Installation instructions on the MSYS2 website to install Mingw-w64. Take care to run each required Start menu and pacman command.
3. Install the Mingw-w64 toolchain pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain Run the pacman command in a MSYS2 terminal. Accept the default to install all the members in the toolchain group.
4. Add the path to your Mingw-w64 bin folder to the Windows PATH environment variable.
5. You also need to add the MingW-CMake pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake

vcpkg

Then you need vcpkg and some packages. How to install vcpkg is described here but it is just a few powershell commands. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/users/platforms/mingw

Microsoft recommend vcpkg to be installed somewhere like C:\src\vcpkg or C:\dev\vcpkg, since otherwise you may run into path issues for some port build systems. Below the install is at C:\vcpkg

cd C:\
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
$Env:VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET="x64-mingw-dynamic"
$Env:VCPKG_DEFAULT_HOST_TRIPLET="x64-mingw-dynamic"
.\vcpkg.exe install json-c eigen3 ffmpeg[avcodec,avdevice,avfilter,avformat,swresample,swscale,zlib] --triplet=x64-mingw-dynamic

Take some coffee as the above will take a while.

.\vcpkg.exe install protobuf-c[tools] --triplet=x64-mingw-dynamic

If it fails (see here: microsoft/vcpkg#29677)

Then do this patch in your vcpkg directory.

diff --git a/ports/protobuf-c/portfile.cmake b/ports/protobuf-c/portfile.cmake
index 0a972cb27..4bcce7017 100644

     )
 endif()

and run again

.\vcpkg.exe install protobuf-c[tools] --triplet=x64-mingw-dynamic

Then run

.\vcpkg.exe integrate install

Linux

To run on Linux it is only a few shell commands:

sudo apt install -y cmake gcc g++ gdb curl pkg-config ninja-build nasm
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
./vcpkg/vcpkg install json-c eigen3 protobuf-c[tools] ffmpeg[avcodec,avdevice,avfilter,avformat,swresample,swscale,zlib] --triplet=x64-linux-dynamic

~/vcpkg integrate install

VS Code

If you use VSCode, add this to your settings (press Ctrl+,) to open settings in UI mode. Switch to json text mode by clickin the first of the 3 icons on the top right-hand side (the one looking like a file). Add this to the settings.json:

{
    "cmake.configureSettings": {
            "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake",
            "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX": "${workspaceFolder}/install"
        }
}

Build with CMake

To build with CMake manually do this in the workdirectory:

mkdir build
mkdir install
cd build
cmake "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install" "-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe" "-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=C:/msys64\mingw64/bin/g++.exe" ..
cmake --build .
cmake --build . --target install

Test

You may test the application with the following file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FjdZM7qyQEJHX9SPQCBFUkr0ptrn5vO1/view?usp=sharing
