Build Dependencies#

myMPD has only a few dependencies beside the standard c libraries. Not installing the optional dependencies leads only to a smaller subset of myMPD functions.

  • cmake >= 3.13

  • libasan3 - for memcheck builds only

  • Perl - to create translation files

  • gzip - to precompress assets

  • jq - json parsing

  • lua - to precompile embedded lua libraries

  • whiptail - for mympd-config

  • Devel packages:

    • pcre2 - for pcre support

    • OpenSSL >= 1.1.0 - for https support

    • Optional:

      • libid3tag - to extract embedded coverimages and lyrics

      • flac - to extract embedded coverimages and lyrics

      • liblua >= 5.3.0 - for myMPD scripting

      • libmygpio - for GPIO scripting functions

      • libmpdclient - embedded libmpdclient is used if it was not found or is too old.

      • utf8proc - for utf8 support

  • Documentation:

    • Doxygen

    • JSDoc

    • Ldoc

    • mkdocs

You can type ./build.sh installdeps as root to install the dependencies (works only for supported distributions). For all other distributions you must install the packages manually.

libmpdclient#

myMPD requires a very recent libmpdclient version. This version is distributed in the myMPD source tree and used if no libmpdclient was found or the found library is too old.
