Please, read the raw build guide and deploy guide before reading this guide, there you will find all available configurations to tweak the build.

Installing dependencies

For building and developing Webcamoid in Windows, you need to install MSYS2, go to MSYS2 website and follow their install instructions, then install the required dependencies.

Building Webcamoid

Open a MSYS2 terminal (check all MSYS2 supported environments, here) and run the following commands:

mkdir -p webcamoid-build
cmake \
    -S webcamoid \
    -B webcamoid-build \
    -G "MSYS Makefiles" \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="${PWD}/webcamoid-data" 
cmake --build webcamoid-build --parallel 4
cmake --install webcamoid-build

Building the packages

First at all clone the Webcamoid deploy tools repository.

git clone https://github.com/webcamoid/DeployTools.git

then run the deploy script as

export PYTHONPATH="${PWD}/DeployTools"

python3 DeployTools/deploy.py \
    -d "${PWD}/webcamoid-data" \
    -c "${PWD}/webcamoid-build/package_info.conf" \
    -o "${PWD}/webcamoid-packages"
