Because every operating system has his own version of desktop environment we need to adapt the ScreenPlayWindow for every platform seperate. The most feature complete for now is Windows 10. Windows 7 works but the wallpaper have the worng coordinates. MacOS has some basic wallpaper functionality but no maintainer. For Linux we sadly have no support for any desktops environments at the moment.

If you want to help and add new desktop environments look at ScreenPlayWallpaper/src folder

Getting started

Basic

1. Install latest git + git-lfs
2. Clone ScreenPlay

git clone --recursive https://gitlab.com/kelteseth/ScreenPlay.git

3. Download the latest Qt 5.14. Earlier versions are not supported!
4. Start install-dependencies.bat to download dependencies into the Common/ folder

//Windows
.\install-dependencies.bat

//Linux
sudo apt install git gcc cmake build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev
chmod +x install-dependencies.sh
.\install-dependencies.sh

• This will install these dependencies via vcpkg
  • libzippp
  • nlohmann-json
  • openSSL 1.1.1d
  • zlib& libzip
  • breakpad
• Download these dependencies via git submodules
  • stomt-qt-sdk
  • qt-google-analytics
  • qt-breakpad

5. Follow the steps below for your OS.
6. Open the CMakeLists.txt via QtCreator. This can take some time until QtCreator parses all files!
7. Add a second build step at: Projects -> Build -> Add Build Step -> Select Build -> Select "install" .

8. Add CMake variables
   • Add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE and VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET
     • Extras -> Tools -> Kits -> -> CMake Configuration -> Append this:
     • CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:STRING=%{CurrentProject:Path}/Common/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
     • VCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET:STRING=x64-windows
     • or Linux: x64-linux MacOSX: x64-osx

9. Check if Ninja is selected
   • Extras -> Tools -> Kits -> -> CMakeGenerator -> Change to:
     • Generator: Ninja
