# RPI ONLY: when you build on the rapberry pi and include the dispmanx grabber (which is the default) 
# you also need the firmware including headers installed. This downloads the firmware from the raspberrypi github
# and copies the required files to the correct place. The firmware directory can be deleted afterwards if desired.
export FIRMWARE_DIR="raspberrypi-firmware"
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git "$FIRMWARE_DIR"
sudo cp -R "$FIRMWARE_DIR/hardfp/opt/" /opt

# create hyperion directory and checkout the code from github
# You might want to add "--depth 1" if you only want to recompile the current source or dont want to use git any further
export HYPERION_DIR="hyperion"
git clone --recursive https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git "$HYPERION_DIR"

# if you forget the --resursive in above statement or you are updating an existing clone you need
# to clone the protobuf submodule by runnning the follwing two statements:
git submodule init
git submodule update

# create and enter the build directory
mkdir "$HYPERION_DIR/build"
cd "$HYPERION_DIR/build"

# run cmake to generate make files on the raspberry pi
cmake ..
# or if you are not compiling on the raspberry pi and need to disable the Dispmanx grabber and support for spi devices
cmake -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF -DENABLE_SPIDEV=OFF -DENABLE_X11=ON ..
# as an alternative for the dispmanx grabber on non-rpi devices (e.g. cubox-i) you could try the framebuffer grabber
cmake -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF -DENABLE_SPIDEV=OFF -DENABLE_FB=ON ..
# for OSX build you need XCode, qt4 libraries and cmake. You can use macport (homebrew might work too) to install them
sudo port install qt4-mac
sudo port install cmake
cmake -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF -DENABLE_SPIDEV=OFF -DENABLE_V4L2=OFF -DENABLE_OSX=ON .

# run make to build Hyperion

# The binaries are build in "$HYPERION_DIR/build/bin". You could copy those to /usr/bin
sudo cp ./bin/hyperion-remote /usr/bin/

# Copy the effect folder (if you did not use the normal installation methode before)
