Building the CasparCG Server

The CasparCG Server source code uses the CMake build system in order to easily generate build systems for multiple platforms. CMake is basically a build system for generating build systems.

On Windows we can use CMake to generate a .sln file and .vcproj files. On Linux CMake can generate make files or ninja files. Qt Creator has support for loading CMakeLists.txt files directly.

Windows

Development using Visual Studio

  1. Install Visual Studio 2017.

  2. Install CMake (http://www.cmake.org/download/).

  3. git clone --single-branch --branch master https://github.com/CasparCG/server casparcg-server-master

  4. cd casparcg-server-master

  5. mkdir build

  6. cd build

  7. cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -A x64 ../src

  8. Open CasparCG Server.sln

Linux

Building inside Docker

  1. git clone --single-branch --branch master https://github.com/CasparCG/server casparcg-server-master
  2. cd casparcg-server-master
  3. ./tools/linux/build-in-docker

If all goes to plan, a docker image casparcg/server has been created containing CasparCG Server.

Extracting CasparCG Server from Docker

  1. ./tools/linux/extract-from-docker

You will then find a folder called casparcg_server which should contain everything you need to run CasparCG Server.

Note: if you ran docker with sudo, CasparCG server will not be able to run without sudo out of the box. For security reasons we do not recommend to run CasparCG with sudo. Instead you can use chown to change the ownership of the CasparCG Server folder.

Development

  1. Install dependencies apt-get install git cmake build-essential g++ libglew-dev libfreeimage-dev libtbb-dev libsndfile1-dev libopenal-dev libjpeg-dev libfreetype6-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libsfml-dev libvpx-dev libwebp-dev liblzma-dev libmp3lame-dev libopus-dev libtheora-dev libx264-dev libx265-dev libbz2-dev libcrypto++-dev librtmp-dev libgmp-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libass-dev libgconf2-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libsnappy-dev libopenjp2-7-dev libshine-dev libspeex-dev libtwolame-dev libvo-amrwbenc-dev libwavpack-dev libxvidcore-dev libsoxr-dev libxv-dev libxml2-dev libopenmpt-dev libbluray-dev libasound-dev libsdl2-dev libxtst-dev libatspi2.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0 libatk-bridge2.0-dev libxcomposite-dev
  2. Install Docker by following installation instructions from Docker Docs
  3. git clone --single-branch --branch master https://github.com/CasparCG/server casparcg-server-master
  4. cd casparcg-server-master
  5. Extract Boost, FFmpeg and CEF from the docker images via sudo ./tools/linux/extract-deps-from-docker. Alternatively these can be prepared manually by following the steps laid out in each Dockerfile
  6. mkdir build && cd build
  7. cmake ../src
  8. make -j8

If all goes to plan, a folder called 'staging' has been created with everything you need to run CasparCG server.

Build options

-DENABLE_HTML=OFF - useful if you lack CEF, and would like to build without that module.
