This includes a universal API to connect to multimedia devices, as well as sharing multimedia files between applications. &lfs91_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &pipewire-md5sum; Download size: &pipewire-size; Estimated disk space required: &pipewire-buildsize; Estimated build time: &pipewire-time; Pipewire Dependencies Required , , , , , , , , and Optional , and (for documentation), JACK, Vulkan, and xmltoman User Notes: Install pipewire by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && meson --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ -Djack=false \ -Dpipewire-jack=false \ -Dvulkan=false \ .. && ninja To test the result, issue: ninja test. Now, as the root user: ninja install -Djack=false: This switch prevents building the JACK plugin since JACK is not in BLFS. -Dpipewire-jack=false: This switch prevents building JACK support into pipewire since JACK is not in BLFS. -Dvulkan=false: This switch prevents building Vulkan API support into pipewire since Vulkan is not in BLFS. -Ddocs=true: This switch enables the generation of HTML documentation. The optional dependencies for documentation need to be installed for this to work. -Dman=true: This switch enables the generation of manual pages. The optional dependencies for documentation need to be installed for this to work.
