XiboLinux

Building from sources

Building manually

NOTE: these libraries can require additional installations if you haven't such

• cmake>=3.12 cross-platform software for managing the build process
• gtk>=3.18 and gtkmm>=3.18 GUI library and C++ bindings
• gstreamer>=1.8, gstreamer-base-plugins>=1.8 multimedia framerwork with base plugins
• webkitgtk>=2.4.10 web content rendering
• Boost.Filesystem>=1.66 and Boost.Program_options>=1.66
• Also gstreamer1.0-libav needed for running video content (I hope to get rid of this addition requirement)

Building with Docker for Ubuntu 16.04

• Install Docker
• Clone this repository
• Run docker build -t xibo-linux . in the root of the repository
• docker run -v /path/to/local/clone/build:/build xibo-linux
• The Player binaries will be build and output in to your build directory

Running Player

• Just run ./player to get info about available command options
• ./player --host=your_cms_host --server-key=key_in_cms --hardware-key=type_random_symbols
• ./player --version print current version (check VERSIONING.md and CHANGELOG.md to know more about your player version)

Binary distribution

To run on another machine the package that you've built you need to copy player executable together with libs folder from source-dir/_build/player
