It looks like you're interested in building the CineCert ASDCPlib (likely related to ASDCP ---Advanced Standard Digital Content Protection) on your Ubuntu system. ASDCPlib
is an open-source library used for handling content protection in digital media systems, and it appears that you're trying to build it from the source.
Here's a general guide to help you build and install CineCert ASDCPlib on Ubuntu:
Steps to Build CineCert ASDCPlib from Source
-
Install Dependencies
Before you can build the library, you will need to install some development tools and dependencies. These tools will allow you to compile and link the source code. Open a terminal and run:
bash
`sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libssl-dev `
build-essential
: Contains basic tools needed for compiling code (e.g.,gcc
,g++
).cmake
: Build system generator that will be used for building the library.git
: To clone the repository if it is hosted on a platform like GitHub.libssl-dev
: A dependency that is sometimes required by libraries dealing with content protection (for secure operations).
-
Clone the Repository
If the library is hosted on GitHub or another version control platform, you can clone it using
git
. Assuming it's hosted on GitHub, run:bash
`git clone https://github.com/CineCert/asdcplib.git cd asdcplib `
If the repository is hosted elsewhere or you have a specific URL, make sure to replace the GitHub URL above with the correct one.
-
Build the Library
Once you've cloned the repository, navigate into the project folder and use
cmake
to set up the build environment, followed bymake
to compile the code.bash
`mkdir build cd build cmake .. make `
cmake ..
: This tellscmake
to generate the necessary files for the build system (e.g., Makefiles).make
: This compiles the source code and generates the necessary binary files, including the static library (.a
) and/or dynamic libraries (.so
).
-
Install the Library (Optional)
If you want to install the library system-wide (so it's available for all users or projects), you can run:
bash
`sudo make install `
This will copy the compiled files to standard locations like
/usr/local/lib
for libraries and/usr/local/include
for headers. -
Verify the Build
Once the build process finishes, you can verify that the static library
libasdcp_x64.a
has been generated by checking the build directory:bash
`ls libasdcp_x64.a `
If the library has been built successfully, you should see it in the
build
folder.
Additional Notes:
-
If
asdcplib
has specific build instructions or dependencies, they should be provided in the README.md or other documentation files within the repository. Be sure to check these for any special setup instructions. -
If the build fails due to missing dependencies or errors during compilation, the error messages can often point you to the missing packages or issues. Feel free to share the errors, and I can help troubleshoot.
After the Build:
Once the library is built, you can use it in your projects by linking to it during the build process. If you installed it globally, the system should automatically find the library. Otherwise, you may need to specify the path to the .a
file when compiling your project.
Let me know if you run into any issues while building the library, or if there's something specific about the process you need help with!
