Building from source

Dev environment

Visual Studio Code with rust-analyzer extension.
For working with QML I recommend to use Qt Creator and load all QML files there, as it has auto-complete and syntax highlighting. The project also supports UI live reload, it's a super quick way of working with the UI. Just change live_reload = true in gyroflow.rs and it should work right away. Now every time you change any QML file, the app should reload it immediately.

Building steps

Windows
macOS
Linux
Android
iOS
  1. 1.
    Get latest stable Rust language from: https://rustup.rs/​
    • Please make sure to check the English language pack option when installing the C++ build tools from Visual Studio Installer
  2. 2.
    Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow.git
  3. 3.
    Install dependencies to the ext directory: cd gyroflow/ext
    • Qt 6.4.2 or higher: pip3 install -U pip & pip3 install aqtinstall then aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.4.2 win64_msvc2019_64 -m qtshadertools or use the official installer​
    • FFmpeg 5.1: download ffmpeg 5.1 lite and unzip it to ext/ffmpeg-master-windows-desktop-vs2022-gpl-lite
    • vcpkg: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git & .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat -disableMetrics
    • OpenCV: .\vcpkg\vcpkg install "opencv[core]:x64-windows-release"
    • OpenCL: .\vcpkg\vcpkg install "opencl:x64-windows-release"
    • LLVM: download and install LLVM​
  4. 4.
    Make sure you have 7z in PATH.
  5. 5.
    Setup the environment in powershell (or set the same variables in cmd): ./__env.ps1 - I do this in VS Code built-in terminal
    • some machines might have issue that scripts are forbidden to run, try to set-executionpolicy remotesigned in powershell with admin
  6. 6.
    Compile and run: cargo run --release
  1. 1.
    Get latest stable Rust language from: https://rustup.rs/​
  2. 2.
    Install Xcode command line tools: xcode-select --install
  3. 3.
    Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow.git
  4. 4.
    Install dependencies: cd gyroflow/ext && ./install-deps-mac.sh
  5. 5.
    Setup the environment in terminal: source __env-macos.sh or . ./__env-macos.sh - I do this in VS Code built-in terminal
  6. 6.
    Compile and run: cargo run --release
  7. 7.
    If it fails to run, do: ./_deployment/deploy-macos.sh once
  1. 1.
    Get latest stable Rust language from: https://rustup.rs/​
  2. 2.
    Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow.git
  3. 3.
    Install dependencies: cd gyroflow/ext && ./install-deps-linux.sh (Debian based apt)
  4. 4.
    Setup the environment in terminal: ./__env-linux.sh - I do this in VS Code built-in terminal
  5. 5.
    Compile and run: cargo run --release
  1. 1.
    Android is not well supported yet, but the app can be built and somewhat works. So far only building on Windows was tested
  2. 2.
    Install Qt for Android: aqt install-qt windows android 6.4.2 android_arm64_v8a and aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.4.2 win64_mingw
  3. 3.
    Install cargo-apk: cargo install --git https://github.com/rust-windowing/android-ndk-rs.git cargo-apk
  4. 4.
    Add a Rust target: rustup target add aarch64-linux-android
  5. 5.
    Update paths in _deployment/build-android.ps1
  6. 6.
    Run .\_deployment\build-android.ps1 in Powershell
  1. 1.
    iOS is not well supported yet, work in progress
  2. 2.
    Get latest stable Rust language from: https://rustup.rs/​
  3. 3.
    Install Xcode command line tools: xcode-select --install
  4. 4.
    Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/gyroflow/gyroflow.git
  5. 5.
    Install dependencies: cd gyroflow/ext && ./install-deps-ios.sh
  6. 6.
    Setup the environment in terminal: source __env-ios.sh or . ./__env-ios.sh - I do this in VS Code built-in terminal
  7. 7.
    Compile and run: cargo build --target aarch64-apple-ios --release
  8. 8.
    Rest of the steps not figured out yet. Now need to package the app, create .ipa and sign it

Profiling

Windows
QML
  1. 1.
    Install and run Visual Studio Community Edition
  2. 2.
    Compile and run Gyroflow with the profile profile: cargo run --profile profile
  3. 3.
    In Visual Studio, go to Debug -> Performance Profiler...
    • Under Target, open Change Target and select Running Process..., select the running gyroflow.exe process
  1. 1.
    Uncomment config.define("QT_QML_DEBUG", None); in build.rs
  2. 2.
    Comment cli::run() in gyroflow.rs
  3. 3.
    Run in debug mode with QML debugger args: cargo run -- "-qmljsdebugger=port:1234,block,services:CanvasFrameRate,EngineControl,DebugMessages"
  4. 4.
    In Qt Creator go to Analyze -> QML Profiler (Attach to Waiting Application) and enter port 1234
