Build and install

Dependencies

• CMake

Mac

• Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install from a terminal)

Windows

• MSYS2
• Visual Studio Build Tools

Build

For building akvirtualcamera, open a terminal and run the following commands:

Note: Replace /path/to with the actual path of the sources directory.

Mac

cmake -S /path/to/akvirtualcamera -B /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory
make -C /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory

MSYS2

cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -S /path/to/akvirtualcamera -B /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory
make -C /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory

Visual Studio

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -S /path/to/akvirtualcamera -B /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory
cmake --build /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory

For other generators check CMake documentation.
You can also compile akvirtualcamera using cmake-gui.
The generated plugin files are located at /path/to/akvirtualcamera-build-directory/build.

Note: For Windows, you must build both 32 and 64 bits versions, and put x86 and x64 folders together in the same folder.

Install

Note: Replace /path/to with the actual path of the plugin.

Mac

Is highly recommendable linking the plugin instead of copying it to the DAL folder, for doing so run the following command as root:

ln -s /path/to/AkVirtualCamera.plugin /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/AkVirtualCamera.plugin

Windows

No extra steps are required.
