# Compiling
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
In order to compile librespot, you will first need to set up a suitable Rust build environment, with the necessary dependencies installed. You will need to have a C compiler, Rust, and the development libraries for the audio backend(s) you want installed. These instructions will walk you through setting up a simple build environment.
|
||
|
||
### Install Rust
|
||
The easiest, and recommended way to get Rust is to use [rustup](https://rustup.rs). Once that’s installed, Rust's standard tools should be set up and ready to use.
|
||
|
||
#### Additional Rust tools - `rustfmt`
|
||
To ensure a consistent codebase, we utilise [`rustfmt`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) and [`clippy`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy), which are installed by default with `rustup` these days, else they can be installed manually with:
|
||
```bash
|
||
rustup component add rustfmt
|
||
rustup component add clippy
|
||
```
|
||
Using `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` is not optional, as our CI checks against this repo's rules.
|
||
|
||
### General dependencies
|
||
Along with Rust, you will also require a C compiler.
|
||
|
||
On Debian/Ubuntu, install with:
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo apt-get install build-essential
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
On Fedora systems, install with:
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo dnf install gcc
|
||
```
|
||
### Audio library dependencies
|
||
Depending on the chosen backend, specific development libraries are required.
|
||
|
||
*_Note this is an non-exhaustive list, open a PR to add to it!_*
|
||
|
||
| Audio backend | Debian/Ubuntu | Fedora | macOS |
|
||
|--------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------------|-------------|
|
||
|Rodio (default) | `libasound2-dev` | `alsa-lib-devel` | |
|
||
|ALSA | `libasound2-dev, pkg-config` | `alsa-lib-devel` | |
|
||
|GStreamer | `gstreamer1.0-plugins-base libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-good libgstreamer-plugins-good1.0-dev` | `gstreamer1 gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-good` | `gstreamer gst-devtools gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good` |
|
||
|PortAudio | `portaudio19-dev` | `portaudio-devel` | `portaudio` |
|
||
|PulseAudio | `libpulse-dev` | `pulseaudio-libs-devel` | |
|
||
|JACK | `libjack-dev` | `jack-audio-connection-kit-devel` | `jack` |
|
||
|JACK over Rodio | `libjack-dev` | `jack-audio-connection-kit-devel` | `jack` |
|
||
|SDL | `libsdl2-dev` | `SDL2-devel` | `sdl2` |
|
||
|Pipe & subprocess | - | - | - |
|
||
|
||
###### For example, to build an ALSA based backend, you would need to run the following to install the required dependencies:
|
||
|
||
On Debian/Ubuntu:
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev pkg-config
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
On Fedora systems:
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo dnf install alsa-lib-devel
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Getting the Source
|
||
|
||
The recommended method is to first fork the repo, so that you have a copy that you have read/write access to. After that, it’s a simple case of cloning your fork.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/librespot.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Compiling & Running
|
||
|
||
Once your build environment is setup, compiling the code is pretty simple.
|
||
|
||
### Compiling
|
||
|
||
To build a ```debug``` build with the default backend, from the project root run:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And for ```release```:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build --release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You will most likely want to build debug builds when developing, as they compile faster, and more verbose, and as the name suggests, are for the purposes of debugging. When submitting a bug report, it is recommended to use a debug build to capture stack traces.
|
||
|
||
There are also a number of compiler feature flags that you can add, in the event that you want to have certain additional features also compiled. The list of these is available on the [wiki](https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/wiki/Compiling#addition-features).
|
||
|
||
By default, librespot compiles with the ```rodio-backend``` feature. To compile without default features, you can run with:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build --no-default-features
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Similarly, to build with the ALSA backend:
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build --no-default-features --features "alsa-backend"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Running
|
||
|
||
Assuming you just compiled a ```debug``` build, you can run librespot with the following command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
./target/debug/librespot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
There are various runtime options, documented in the wiki, and visible by running librespot with the ```-h``` argument.
|
||
|
||
Note that debug builds may cause buffer underruns and choppy audio when dithering is enabled (which it is by default). You can disable dithering with ```--dither none```.
