Compiling cbird

You will need to compile cbird to get the most format support and perhaps better platform integration (like theme) compared to the AppImage.

Compiling: Dependencies

  • qt6 (6.9 or later tested)
  • opencv2, 2.4.13.7
  • FFmpeg
  • quazip

Compiling: Linux (Ubuntu 24.04)

The easiest way might be to build the AppImage instead. But if you want a more native build then you will need to follow this recipe.

Dependencies are compiled using the docker image recipe scripts. You can modify them if there is a feature you need (like non-free FFmpeg codecs).

1.1 Packages

apt-get install git cmake g++ qt6-base-dev qt6-base-private-dev libqt6core5compat6-dev libgl-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev libtiff5-dev libopenexr-dev libexiv2-dev libncurses-dev

1.2 Compiling OpenCV

OpenCV 2.4 is not available in most repos so this must be compiled.

cd cbird/docker
source appimage.env # or macOS.env, mxe.env
./build-opencv.sh

1.3 Compiling quazip

You can problably use system quazip package, but if not:

cd cbird/docker
source appimage.env # or macOS.env, mxe.env
./build-quazip.sh

1.4a Using System FFmpeg

If system FFmpeg is compatible, then:

apt-get install libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavfilter-dev

1.4b Compiling FFmpeg

The system FFmpeg may not work due to deprecations, build-ffmpeg.sh uses a known good revision/branch.

sudo apt-get install nasm libfribidi-dev libsdl2-dev libharfbuzz-dev libfreetype-dev libva-dev libdav1d-dev

cd cbird/docker
source appimage.env
./build-ffmpeg.sh

1.5 Compiling cbird

git clone https://github.com/scrubbbbs/cbird
cd cbird
qmake6
make -j8
sudo make install

1.6 Installing Supporting Files (Optional)

cbird -install

Compiling: Windows

2.1 MXE Container

The Windows build is compiled using MXE cross compiler. This environment is built into a docker image using docker/Dockerfile.mxe. You can modify build parameters in docker/mxe.env and/or shell scripts in docker/

cd cbird/docker
docker build -f Dockerfile.mxe -t mxe:latest .

2.2 Cross-compiling cbird

Once mxe environment is built, it works like the Linux build. Start the container, then you are ready to go.

cd cbird
source /build/build.env
qmake
make -j$(nproc)
make install # build/update portable dir in _win32/cbird-win/

Compiling: macOS

3.1 Install Homebrew

Follow Instructions Here

3.2 Installing packages

brew install qtbase qtimageformats exiv2 quazip ffmpeg wget extra-cmake-modules karchive jpeg-xl libraw libde265 jxrlib libavif

3.3 Compiling OpenCV

See Compiling opencv

3.4 Compiling cbird

See Compiling cbird

Additionally, make portable will build the release binaries in _mac/cbird-mac/

Compiling: AppImage

4.1 AppImage Container

The AppImage is built using docker container from docker/Dockerfile.appimage. You can modify build parameters in docker/appimage.env and/or shell scripts in docker/

cd cbird/docker
docker build -f Dockerfile.appimage -t appimage:latest .

4.2 Compiling cbird

From the docker image, run

source /build/build.env
qmake6
make -j$(nproc)
make appimage
