Compiling with build.sh

With the build.sh script you can easily build myMPD and create your own packages. Downstream packagers should use cmake directly.

Compiling and installing

The build.sh script provides three compile targets for myMPD.

If compilation fails and you are building on top of an old version, try to run ./build.sh cleanup before.

Release

• ./build.sh release
  • Builds release binaries
  • Directory: release
  • Assets embedded in binary
  • Binary is stripped
  • Install prefix is /usr
• ./build.sh install installs the release binaries (run as root)

You can use ./build.sh releaseinstall to compile and install in one step.

Debug

• ./build.sh debug
  • Builds debug binaries
  • Directory: debug
  • Plain assets in htdocs directory
  • Use this to debug mympd with valgrind or gdb

Sanitizers

• ./build.sh <asan|tsan|ubsan>
  • Builds debug binaries linked with address sanitizers
  • Directory: debug
  • Plain assets in htdocs directory
  • You must eventually preload the sanitizer library, e.g. LD_PRELOAD=libasan.so.6 debug/bin/mympd

Removing

• ./build.sh uninstall to remove only binaries
• ./build.sh purge to remove all

Create distribution specific packages

You can self create packages for your distribution:

• ./build.sh pkgalpine for Alpine Linux
• ./build.sh pkgarch for Arch based distributions (e.g. Manjaro)
• ./build.sh pkgdebian for Debian based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu. Raspbian)
• ./build.sh pkgrpm for RPM based distributions (e.g. openSUSE, Fedora)
• ./build.sh pkgdocker to create a Docker image based on Alpine Linux
• For gentoo you have to create a local overlay: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository, the ebuild file is in the directory contrib/packaging/gentoo
• Build a OpenWrt package

Cross compiling debian packages

The build script can use sbuild and qemu to cross compile debian packages, thanks to #264 @tsunulukai.

1. Set target distributions: export DISTROS="bullseye buster"
2. Set target architectures: export TARGETS="armhf armel"
3. sudo -E ./build.sh sbuild_chroots to create chroot environments for build
4. sudo -E ./build.sh sbuild_build to build the packages

The successfully build packages can be found in the packager/builds directory.
