Dependencies for building on Linux

To build on Linux, you will typically need clang, g++ (for libstdc++) and make. On a Debian-based distribution, such as Ubuntu, those packages can be installed by running the following terminal command:

When using wp.py to build plug-ins on Linux, you can use either python or python3. Make sure to install the required packages as described in wp.py First-time Setup.

If you are cross-compiling to 32-bit from a 64-bit system, you will also need to install the g++ multilib package. On a Debian-based distribution, you can install it by running:

Building SDK samples and source code

Generic makefiles are provided; some environment variables must be defined to build for a given target. Here are the settings to use for various targets:

• Linux_x32 (Intel x86 32-bits)
  • AK_LINUX_ARCH=x32
  • CFLAGS=-msse2
• Linux_x64 (Intel x86 64-bits)
  • AK_LINUX_ARCH=x64
• Linux_armeabi-v6-hf (Raspberry Pi)
  • AK_LINUX_ARCH=armeabi-v6-hf

Additionally, the config environment variable can be set to debug, profile, or release to select the corresponding build configuration; if not specified, the debug configuration will be used.

Note: When using wp.py for building plug-ins on Linux, the configuration can be specified using the -c argument instead.
