# Install the required tools and dependencies

# 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/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng.git "$HYPERION_DIR"

# if you forget the --recursive 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 WITHOUT PWM SUPPORT
cmake -DPLATFORM=rpi -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# run cmake to generate make files on the raspberry pi WITH PWM SUPPORT
cmake -DPLATFORM=rpi-pwm -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# or if you want to compile on x86x64
cmake -DPLATFORM=x86 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# on amlogic platforms
cmake -DPLATFORM=aml -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# as an alternative for the dispmanx grabber on non-rpi devices (e.g. cubox-i) you could try the framebuffer grabber
cmake -DENABLE_FB=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
# ToDo: QT5 libs!! for OSX build you need XCode, qt4 libraries and cmake (maybe libusb too). You can use macport or homebrew(recommended) to install them:
#for port:
sudo port install qt4-mac
sudo port install cmake
#sudo port install libusb
#for brew:
sudo brew install qt4-mac
sudo brew install cmake
#sudo brew install libusb
cmake -DENABLE_V4L2=OFF -DENABLE_OSX=ON ..

# run make to build Hyperion
make
# or if you have a system with more then 1 cpu core
make -j 4
# "4" is  the number of cpu cores (e.g. 4 on RPi2 and RPi3), this makes compile faster

#after compile, to remove any stuff not needed for a release version.
strip bin/*

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

# Copy the effect folder (if you did not use the normal installation methode before)
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/hyperion/effects && sudo cp -R ../effects/ /usr/share/hyperion/
