To build Image Uploader from source files you will need:
- Git https://git-scm.com/downloads
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 or newer (with C++ compiler) https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
- CMake (tested with v3.24.0) https://cmake.org/
- Python 3 https://www.python.org/downloads/
- Conan v1.x (C++ package manager; tested with v1.62) https://conan.io/
Ensure that your %PATH% environment
variable includes the directory of your Python and CMake distribution.
I recommend to install Conan using pip
utility.
You can install specific version of conan: pip3 install conan==1.62
.
To generate a Visual Studio solution from CMakeLists.txt you need to create a directory for build files and call cmake
:
mkdir Build
cd Build
The recommended way is to pass conan profile to the cmake
command.
cmake <path_to_imageuploader_source>\Source -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32 -DIU_HOST_PROFILE=default -DIU_BUILD_PROFILE=default
The old way:
cmake <path_to_imageuploader_source>\Source -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A Win32 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING=Release -DCMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION:STRING=Release
If you are cross-compiling (from Windows x64 to x86) and want to build FFmpeg libraries from Conan repository then you should use two profiles (-DIU_HOST_PROFILE=windows_vs2019_x86_release -DIU_BUILD_PROFILE=windows_vs2019_x64_release
)
After that, you can open the generated project in Visual Studio and build it there. Also you can run the command:
cmake --build . --config Release
The same you can achieve using cmake-gui
utility.
In cmake-gui you can see all compilation options and easily change them.
If you want to build Image Uploader with separate FFmpeg libraries (IU_ENABLE_FFMPEG=On
and IU_FFMPEG_STANDALONE=On
), after building put them (avcodec.lib, avformat.lib, avutil.lib, swscale.lib) into Contrib\Lib
directory and header files into Contrib\Include
directory.
If you want to build IU with Microsoft Edge Webview2 support (IU_ENABLE_WEBVIEW2=On
), you should install package "Microsoft.Web.WebView2" using NuGet package manager (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/get-started/win32),
then copy header files (*.h)
to the "Contrib\Include" directory, and copy *.lib
files to Contrib\Lib directory.
Some examples, nevermind:
cmake ..\Source -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DIU_HOST_PROFILE=vs2019_x86_debug -DIU_BUILD_PROFILE=vs2022_x64 -DIU_ENABLE_FFMPEG=On -DIU_ENABLE_WEBVIEW2=On
cmake ..\Source -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A ARM64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DIU_HOST_PROFILE=../Conan/profiles/vs2019_arm64_release -DIU_BUILD_PROFILE=../Conan/profiles/vs2022_x64 -DIU_ENABLE_FFMPEG=On -DIU_ENABLE_WEBVIEW2=On -DIU_FFMPEG_STANDALONE=On -DIU_ENABLE_MEDIAINFO=Off -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING=Release
For ARM64:
cmake ..\Source -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A ARM64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DIU_HOST_PROFILE=../Conan/profiles/vs2019_arm64_release -DIU_BUILD_PROFILE=../Conan/Profiles/vs2022_x64 -DIU_ENABLE_FFMPEG=On -DIU_ENABLE_WEBVIEW2=On -DIU_FFMPEG_STANDALONE=On -DIU_ENABLE_MEDIAINFO=Off
Use the same approach with Conan to build imgupload on Linux.
As the project is using cmake_find_package_multi generator, we have to use CMake generators with multi-config support. Such generator is ninja
.
Before compiling IU install the following packages:
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake ninja-build python3-pip
pip3 install conan
Configure and build the project:
git clone https://github.com/zenden2k/image-uploader.git
cd image-uploader
mkdir Build
cd Build
cmake ../Source -G "Ninja Multi-Config" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES:STRING=Release -DCMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_CONFIGURATION:STRING=Release
cmake --build . --config Release
If you want to compile qimageuploader (GUI) you have to install Qt 5 dev libraries before compiling:
sudo apt install qt5-default
You may also need these packages for creating a .deb package:
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool fakeroot
and pass -DIU_BUILD_QIMAGEUPLOADER=On
option to the cmake
command.
Run on Windows:
git config --global core.autocrlf false
Allow creating symlinks (you can do it by turning on Developer Mode on Windows 11). Another way is to run Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt as Administrator.
- msbuild that is a part of Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 or newer (with x86/x64/ARM64 C++ compiler)
- ATL library for x86/x64/ARM64 platform (a part of Visual Studio)
- python 3
- git
- cmake
- conan
- nuget
- 7-Zip (7z.exe)
- Inno Setup 6 (iscc.exe)
- WSL 2 & Ubuntu 20.04+
- git
- conan
- cmake (version >= 3.17)
- doxygen
- msgfmt (gettext)
- Qt 5 development libraries
- autoconf, automake, libtool, fakeroot for building Debian packages.
You can install most of them by running the command
sudo apt-get install git g++ cmake ninja-build python3-pip doxygen gettext autoconf automake libtool fakeroot qt5-default
pip3 install conan==1.62
Note that Ubuntu 20.04 has CMake v3.16 but the script requires >= v3.17. You can install the latest binary distribution from the official website https://cmake.org/
All programs must be added to the PATH environment variable.
Copy versioninfo.h
to the Dist
directory. Edit this file and set the values you need. The build number will be incremented automatically.
Run python create_build.py
from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.
