Guide on how to actually install modern Aravis?

Jaster1999 · July 19, 2021, 2:49am

is there any guide on how to properly install Aravis using meson build. I am new to meson build and don’t have great experience with c++ libraries. I was originally hoping to use the Aravis python binding but am struggling to install Aravis properly, to use in either c++ or python. There are plenty of guides online (for what looks like Aravis before it used meson build) but all seem outdated and their methods do not work.

I have managed to build using meson. However I do not understand how to set it up for working with code, I can use the build tools such as the viewer, fake cam etc but how do I go about using it in code?

Check out this dockerfile here in which we build Aravis 0.8 using meson:

github.com

hybridgroup/go-aravis/blob/aravis-0.8/Dockerfile

FROM golang:1.15-buster AS build
WORKDIR /src

# build essential, Gig-EV dependencies from manual, plus some util packages (vim, less)
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential sudo \
    vim-tiny less nano git ninja-build python3-pip cmake libglib2.0-dev \
    libxml2-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev 

RUN python3 -m pip install meson

RUN git clone https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis.git /opt/aravis && \
    cd /opt/aravis && \
    git checkout master && \
    ls -a && \
    meson -Dviewer=disabled -Dintrospection=disabled -Dgst-plugin=disabled -Ddocumentation=disabled build && \
    cd build && \
    ninja && \
    ninja install && \
    ldconfig
