ROMP Developer Guide
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:
- Qt libraries 4.8.4 for Windows (VS 2010, 234 MB)
- Visual Studio 2010 Express
- QJSON ([1])
- Inno Setup Compiler.
Sources should be placed as followed:
- rosa-media-player-plugin (download from https://abf.rosalinux.ru/uxteam/rosa-media-player-plugin)
- romp (rosa-media-player download from https://abf.rosalinux.ru/uxteam/ROSA_Media_Player)
- qjson (download from official site)
- rosamp-plugin (source of rosamp plugin)
- translations
- ROMP-binary-artifacts
- install-bin
- install-source
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.
