Build Instructions

1. Building for Ubuntu desktop

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-demo/build/tizen

Then run the following commands:

     $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DESKTOP_PREFIX .
     $ make install -j8

DEBUG Builds

Specify a debug build when building for desktop by passing the following parameter to cmake:

     $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DESKTOP_PREFIX -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .

Before running make install as normal:

     $ make install -j8

Build Only specific sample

You can set the sample's name and can build that sample only. For example, If you want to build 'hello-world',

     $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DESKTOP_PREFIX -DBUILD_EXAMPLE_NAME=hello-world
     $ make install -j9

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"

Raspberry Pi builds

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

Build specific sample only

     $ gbs build -A [TARGET_ARCH] --define "build_example_name hello-world"

3. Building for Android

Requirements

• Ubuntu 20.04 or later
• Open JDK Version 17 or above
• Android DALi dependencies
• If you are behind a proxy, please set up the "http_proxy" and "https_proxy" environment variables appropriately
• Clone dali-core, dali-adaptor, dali-toolkit & android-dependencies to the same folder as dali-demo
  • Android dependencies can be cloned from: https://github.com/dalihub/android-dependencies

Building the Repository

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

     $ cd dali-demo/build/android

Then run the following command:

     $ ./build.sh

For debug build:

     $ DEBUG=1 ./build.sh

To debug from Android Studio set Android DALi enviroment using setenv script in 'build/android' and launch Android Studio from the enviroment:

     $ . setenv
     $ <path/to/androidstudio>/bin/studio.sh

To clean the build:

     $ ./build.sh clean

To install apks:

     $ adb install -r ./app/build/outputs/apk/debug/dali-demo-debug.apk
     $ adb install -r ./app/build/outputs/apk/release/dali-demo-release.apk

Manually granting permission for accessing Storage before running the demo 1. Long press the DALi demo app icon => App Info 2. Permissions => Storage => Enable

4. 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=$VCPKG_FOLDER/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DENABLE_PKG_CONFIGURE=OFF -DINTERNATIONALIZATION=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DALI_ENV_FOLDER $ 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).
  • INTERNATIONALIZATION ---> Whether to generate and install internazionalization '.po' Portable Object files.
  • CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ---> Were DALi is installed.
  • ENABLE_DEBUG ---> Whether to build with debug enabled.
  • BUILD_EXAMPLE_NAME ---> The name of sample what you want to build. To reduce the memory of rpm file, we didn't copy resources now.

• If dali-toolkit has been compiled with the USE_DEFAULT_RESOURCE_DIR option disabled then is needed to set global environment variables in order to find the default toolkit resources.

  i.e $ setx DALI_ENV_FOLDER C:/Users/username/dali-env $ setx DALI_IMAGE_DIR $DALI_ENV_FOLDER/share/dali/toolkit/images/ $ setx DALI_SOUND_DIR $DALI_ENV_FOLDER/share/dali/toolkit/sounds/ $ setx DALI_STYLE_DIR $DALI_ENV_FOLDER/share/dali/toolkit/styles/ $ setx DALI_STYLE_IMAGE_DIR $DALI_ENV_FOLDER/share/dali/toolkit/styles/images/ $ setx DALI_DATA_READ_ONLY_DIR $DALI_ENV_FOLDER/share/dali/

5. Building for MacOS

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

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

% cd dali-demo/build/tizen

Then run the following command to set up the build:

% cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$DESKTOP_PREFIX -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_FOLDER/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DINTERNATIONALIZATION=OFF

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

To build, run:

% make install -j8

Creating an Example

• Make a directory in the examples directory. Only one example will be created per directory.
• The executable installed will have a .example appended to it, e.g. a blocks directory produces blocks.example.
• Add all source files for the required example in this directory.
• Modify com.samsung.dali-demo.xml to include your example so that it can be launched on target.
• No changes are required to the make system as long as the above is followed, your example will be automatically built & installed.
• Add a key handler so that the ESC or Back keys can be used to quit the application.
• Depending on the nature of what you are demonstrating, add a launcher line to either:
  • demo/dali-demo.cpp: for graphical showcase demos.
  • examples-reel/dali-examples-reel.cpp: generic examples of how to use various features.
  • tests-reel/dali-tests-reel.cpp: for testing purposes.
• Add 2 lines to shared/dali-demo-strings.h for the title of your application, please keep in alphabetic order,
• Add as many translations of the title as possible to the files in resources/po. Currently, this only works on Ubuntu.
• In each example folder, create a README.md with images and a description of what the example is demonstrating. Look at this for reference.
