he user with no other option than a vendor-specific closed-source solution. To address this problem the Linux media community has very recently started collaboration with the industry to develop a camera stack that will be open-source-friendly while still protecting vendor core IP. libcamera was born out of that collaboration and will offer modern camera support to Linux-based systems, including traditional Linux distributions, ChromeOS and Android. .. section-end-libcamera .. section-begin-getting-started Getting Started --------------- To fetch the sources, build and install: :: git clone git://linuxtv.org/libcamera.git cd libcamera meson build ninja -C build install Dependencies ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following Debian/Ubuntu packages are required for building libcamera. Other distributions may have differing package names: A C++ toolchain: [required] Either {g++, clang} Meson Build system: [required] meson (>= 0.55) ninja-build pkg-config If your distribution doesn't provide a recent enough version of meson, you can install or upgrade it using pip3. .. code:: pip3 install --user meson pip3 install --user --upgrade meson for the libcamera core: [required] python3-yaml python3-ply python3-jinja2 for IPA module signing: [required] libgnutls28-dev openssl for the Raspberry Pi IPA: [optional] libboost-dev Support for Raspberry Pi can be disabled through the meson 'pipelines' option to avoid this dependency. for device hotplug enumeration: [optional] libudev-dev for documentation: [optional] python3-sphinx doxygen graphviz for gstreamer: [optional] libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev for cam: [optional] libevent-dev for qcam: [optional] qtbase5-dev libqt5core5a libqt5gui5 libqt5widgets5 qttools5-dev-tools libtiff-dev for tracing with lttng: [optional] liblttng-ust-dev python3-jinja2 lttng-tools for android: [optional] libexif libjpeg libyaml Using GStreamer plugin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To use GStreamer plugin from source tree, set the following environment so that GStreamer can find it. export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=$(pwd)/build/src/gstreamer The debugging tool ``gst-launch-1.0`` can be used to construct a pipeline and test it. The following pipeline will stream from the camera named "Camera 1" onto the default video display element on your system. .. code:: gst-launch-1.0 libcamerasrc camera-name="Camera 1" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink .. section-end-getting-started Troubleshooting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Several users have reported issues with meson installation, crux of the issue is a potential version mismatch between the version that root uses, and the version that the normal user uses. On calling `ninja -C build`, it can't find the build.ninja module. This is a snippet of the error message. :: ninja: Entering directory `build' ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory This can be solved in two ways: 1) Don't install meson again if it is already installed system-wide. 2) If a version of meson which is different from the system-wide version is already installed, uninstall that meson using pip3, and install again without the --user argument.
