# How to build MediaInfo

## Build under macOS and Linux

First, you must create a directory which will receive the MediaInfo directory, and ZenLib and MediaInfoLib if you decide to compile them yourself.

In this document, this directory will be referred as $BUILD_DIR.

### Dependencies under macOS

#### MacPorts

Some dependencies are available with MacPorts. To install MacPorts:
https://guide.macports.org/#installing

```sh
port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig zlib wxWidgets-3.0
```

*MediaArea tools*
* [libzen](#zenlib)
* [libmediainfo](#mediainfolib)

### Dependencies under Linux

```sh
dpkg -i libmediainfo* libzen*
```

*GUI only dependencies*

```sh
apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev
```

#### OpenSUSE

```

*MediaArea tools*

Go to https://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo/Download/openSUSE and download the libmediainfo0, libmediainfo-devel, libzen0 and libzen-devel packages corresponding to your OpenSuse version. Then install them with :

```sh
rpm -i libmediainfo* libzen*
```

*GUI only dependencies*

```sh
zypper install libqt4-devel libQtWebKit-devel update-desktop-files
```

### Build MediaInfo CLI

When you have done all the prerequisites for your configuration, then build MediaInfo. We start with the CLI.

```sh
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfo.git
cd MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI
./autogen.sh
```

##### Then, under macOS:

```sh
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
```

##### Under Linux:

```sh
./configure --enable-shared
make
```

Or for statically linked executable, if you also build ZenLib and MediaInfoLib:
```sh
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
```

#### Launch the CLI

```sh
./mediainfo
```

### Build MediaInfo GUI

If you have already built the CLI, no need to run git twice. In fact, if you re-run git with an existing MediaInfo directory, git will complain and exit.

To compile MediaInfo GUI under macOS and Linux:

```sh
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfo.git
cd MediaInfo/Project/GNU/GUI
./autogen.sh
```

##### Then, under macOS:

```sh
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxWidgets/3/0/bin
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
```

##### Under Linux:

```sh
./configure --enable-shared
make
```

Or for statically linked executable, if you also build ZenLib and MediaInfoLib:
```sh
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
```

#### Launch the GUI

```sh
./mediainfo-gui
```

### Optional : build ZenLib and MediaInfoLib

#### ZenLib

To compile ZenLib under macOS and Linux:

```sh
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/ZenLib.git
cd ZenLib/Project/GNU/Library
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-static
make
```

#### MediaInfoLib

To compile MediaInfoLib under macOS and Linux:

```sh
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib.git
cd MediaInfoLib/Project/GNU/Library
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-static
make
```
