Manual build process

This guide is meant for developers who wants to customize or build Firefly Luciferin from sources.

Firefly Luciferin uses Java 14 Package API to create the Windows/Linux installer.

If you are running Windows 8 or Windows 10 you can use Desktop Duplication API (DDUPL), it's the fastest implementation yet, no lag, no stutter, very small usage of resources. DDUPL is accessed via JNA using the GStreamer bindings for Java. GStreamer is bundled with the installer thanks for the maven-compiler-plugin.

If you want to use your custom GStreamer SDK you need:

• GStreamer core
• GStreamer system plugins
• GStreamer system plugins for capturing

Wix Toolset binaries is in /build_tools/wixtools folder, add it to the path if you want to create the binaries under Windows using jpackage.

Build from source

• Simply git clone the project.
• mvn clean
• mvn package

Maven will create a FireflyLuciferin-jar-with-dependencies.jar that will be bundled with the installer.
Generated jar is executable.

Create binary installer for Windows/Linux

To create the binary installer, simply run:

For Windows

jpackage -i ./target --type exe --main-class org.dpsoftware.JavaFXStarter --main-jar FireflyLuciferin-jar-with-dependencies.jar --icon ./data/img/luciferin_logo.ico --win-menu --win-menu-group Ambilight --copyright "Davide Perini" --name "Firefly Luciferin" --vendor DPsoftware --win-dir-chooser --win-shortcut --win-per-user-install --win-shortcut --win-shortcut-prompt --java-options "-XX:+UseZGC -Xms64m -Xmx1024m"

For Linux

jpackage -i target --main-class org.dpsoftware.JavaFXStarter --main-jar FireflyLuciferin-jar-with-dependencies.jar --icon data/img/luciferin_logo.png --linux-shortcut --copyright "Davide Perini" --name FireflyLuciferin --vendor DPsoftware --app-version "${{steps.get-id.outputs.id}}" --java-options "-XX:+UseZGC -Xms64m -Xmx1024m"

Firefly Luciferin has a continuos integration pipeline that creates the Windows Linux installer on every Git Tag.
Another pipeline build the Glow Worm Luciferin firmware here.
