Setup

  1. Download and install the tools for your platform first.
    1. Windows
    2. Linux
    3. MacOS
  2. Then see the instruction of how to setup QtCreator and compile ScreenPlay

Windows

  1. Download and install:
    1. Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 Download
      1. Make sure you have the exact Windows SDK and MSVC version installed we use in CMakePresets.json
        1. "VCToolsVersion": "14.34.31933" aka Visual Studio 17.4.3
        2. "WindowsSDKVersion" : "10.0.22621.0"
    2. Python 3.11+ and select Add to Path during the installation. Download
    3. Optional if you do not have tools like git or cmake installed, we recommend Chocolatey:
      1. Chocolatey via Powershell (Administrator) Download
      2. Run choco.exe install git vscode cmake --installargs 'ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System' -y

Linux

  1. Install dependencies for Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt install build-essential git gpg ffmpeg mesa-common-dev libxkbcommon-* libfontconfig curl zip unzip tar cmake pkg-config apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg software-properties-common wget software-properties-common python3 python3-pip  libgl1-mesa-dev lld ninja-build qml-module-qt-websockets qtwebengine5-* -y
# Only needed if we want x11 support
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev xserver-xorg-dev xorg-dev

MacOS

  1. Install XCode 14+ , open and restart your device.
  2. Install brew that is needed by some third party vcpkg packages. Do not forget to add brew to your path as outlined at the on of the installation!
    • brew install pkg-config git llvm cmake

Download ScreenPlay and dependencies

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

Downloading dependencies is 100% automated. Simply run the setup.py script

cd Tools
# Windows defaults to python, linux and macOS uses python3
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# This scrit will:
# 1. Downloads `Qt` and `QtCreator`
# 2. Create a `vcpkg` folder for dependencies
# 3. Compiles the dependencies
# 4. Downloads ffmpeg
python setup.py

Now you can either use VSCode or QtCreator:

Option 1 (Recommended): Setup VSCode and compile ScreenPlay

  1. Open VSCode
  2. Install these extentions:
    1. C/C++ for Visual Studio Code
    2. CMake Tools
  3. Press: CTRL + SHIFT + P for every command:
    1. CMake: Select Configure Preset. Select one of the listed presets like MSVC SP Qt 6.4.2 Debug
    2. CMake: Configure
  4. Press F7 to Compile and F5 to run!

⚠️ Do not forget to switch you CMake build target when switching run targets! For example you need to select the debug run target when you compile in debug mode!

Option 2: Setup QtCreator and compile ScreenPlay

  1. Open QtCreator at:
    1. Windows: ..\aqt\Tools\QtCreator\bin\qtcreator.exe
    2. Linux: ../aqt/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator
    3. MacOS: ../aqt/Qt Creator
  2. Select the imported temporary kit like MSVC SP Qt 6.4.2 Debug
  3. Press CTRL + B to Compile and F5 to run!

Developer docs

We use qdoc to generate documentation. Qt6 is the minimum version qdoc, because of vastly improved c++ parsing support.

  • qdoc.exe configWindows.qdocconf If you have installed Qt in a different directory, change the path to your Qt location.
