Dependencies.

Required dependencies for Bluecherry client are:

• Qt 5
• SDL 2.0.5 or newer
• FFmpeg 4.0 or newer
• MPV (libmpv library)

Building from sources.

git clone https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/bluecherry-client.git cd bluecherry-client ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install

Building Debian packages.

Install dependency packages and developer tools first:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake build-essential debhelper devscripts g++ git libasound2-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libmpv-dev libsdl2-dev libva-dev qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev-tools qt5-default

then build the package:

git clone https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/bluecherry-client.git cd bluecherry-client debuild -uc -us -sn -b

Building for Windows.

Preferable way of building is cross-compiling on a GNU/Linux host using MinGW compiler. MXE project provides convenient way of building MinGW cross-toolchain and many opensource libraries required as dependencies.

1. Make sure MXE requirements are installed on your host system. See https://mxe.cc/#requirements

2. Download Bluecherry sources and build dependencies, Bluecherry client .exe and Windows installer using provided helper script:

git clone https://github.com/bluecherrydvr/bluecherry-client.git cd bluecherry-client ./autogen.sh cd win ./cross_build_mxe.sh

Once build is complete (may take few hours), installer executables should be located in win/mxe/build_installer_i686-w64-mingw32.shared/ and win/mxe/build_installer_x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/ for 32 and 64 bit Windows respectively.

Building for OS X.

Dependencies can be provided by Macports, Homebrew or you can build them yourself.

After the configure and make steps, run

make deploy

to create .dmg package file.
