# MediaTool

This is a collection of tools and apps for working with various media (Web, Desktop Publishing, Video/Audio) on different platforms (Linux, Windows).

It tries to have low dependencies and lots of things are built from scratch.

This is a personal/hobby project - things will break/change a lot.

# Build Dependencies

## Linux

### Minimal

```bash
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
```

### Optional

#### Audio

```bash
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
```

#### Image Formats

```bash
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev
```

#### Window rendering

```bash
sudo apt-get install libwayland-dev wayland-protocols libx11-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev libx11-xcb-dev libxcb-image0-dev 
```

We need to generate suitable xdg shell c code for wayland:

```bash
mkdir $WORK_DIR
cd $WORK_DIR
wayland-scanner private-code < /usr/share/wayland-protocols/stable/xdg-shell/xdg-shell.xml > xdg-shell-protocol.cpp
wayland-scanner client-header < /usr/share/wayland-protocols/stable/xdg-shell/xdg-shell.xml > xdg-shell-client-protocol.h
export WAYLAND_EXTENSION_DIR=$WORK_DIR
```

In `xdg-shell-protocol.cpp` - we need access to `xdg_wm_base_interface` so export it also `extern const struct wl_interface xdg_wm_base_interface;` as per similar interface structs.

#### 3D Rendering

```bash
sudo apt-get install libgl-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglm-dev
```

#### fonts

```bash
sudo apt-get install libfreetype-dev
```


# Build from Source

## Linux

```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake $PATH_TO_SOURCE
make
apps/$NAME_OF_APP
```
