This document explains how to compile and install ROSA Media Player.


Build under Linux

Compiling ROSA Media Player should be easy. It depends on Qt, wild-midi and qjson.

1) How to make a rpm package
2) Generic compilation
3) Changing installation path


1. How to make a rpm package

Run rpmbuild: 

rpmbuild -tb rosa-media-player-1.6.x.tar.gz

You'll find the rpm pachage under /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/


2. Generic compilation

You need at least Qt 4.2 to compile ROSA Media Player. It won't work with an older version.

Be sure you have installed the Qt 4 development package. Its name maybe qt4-devel, libqt4-dev or similar.

Other dependences:

  • wildmidi-devel - for midi support
  • qjson-devel - for youtube support

Uncompress the source code, open a console and enter in the rosa-media-player directory.

Type "make": 

make

If you dont need midi support, add argument "no-midi-support": 

make no-midi-support

If everything is ok now you can install it with "make install". That will install rosa-media-player in /usr/local. 

make install

If "make" fails, it's probably because the Qt 3 qmake has been used instead of the Qt 4 one. It seems that some distros have renamed that tool to qmake-qt4. Others may have installed in another directory. Look at the contents of the qt4-devel package (or whatever its name is) and find out where it is.

Now type something like this (just examples): 

make QMAKE=qmake-qt4

or 

make QMAKE=/usr/share/qt4/bin/qmake


3. Changing installation path

By default ROSA Media Player will be installed in /usr/local. You can change it by using PREFIX and DESTDIR.

Examples: 

make PREFIX=/usr
make PREFIX=/usr install

That would install ROSA Media Player under /usr.

DESTDIR will be useful for package maintainers. 

make PREFIX=/usr
make PREFIX=/usr DESTDIR=/tmp/ install

That would compile ROSA Media Player for /usr but in fact it will be installed in /tmp/usr/


Build under Windows

Following dependencies should be installed:

Sources should be placed as followed:

Compilation:

1. Compile qjson passing -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release to cmake (compiled binaries should be placed in ROMP-binary-artifacts/install-source).

2. Compile ROSA Media Player:

  • execute get_romp_version.bat (get romp versoin from spec, update translations):
get_romp_version.bat
  • execute qmake -tp vc (to create solution file for MS VS2010):
qmake  -tp vc
  • compile MS VS2010 (in release mode).

3. Compile plugin (in release mode); run get_translations.bat (to create and move translation file to appropriate directory): 

get_translations.bat

4. Create installer in Inno Setup Compiler using installation script rosa-media-player.iss.

When compiling the player and plugin all the necessary files (executable and libraries) are copied to the folder ROMP-binary-artifacts/install-source. This folder should contain all the necessary files to build the installation program - mplayer, ffmpeg, mplayer, wget, etc.
