How to Compile rkmedia on a Linux Board

Introduction

rkmedia is a multimedia library for the Rockchip Linux platform that encapsulates the underlying media module interfaces, providing common multimedia solutions. rkmedia supports video input, video output, video encoding and decoding, audio input and output, audio encoding and decoding, image processing, and other functions.

To compile rkmedia on a Rockchip Linux board, you need to first download the source code of rkmedia and configure the cross-compiler and related dependencies. The specific steps are as follows:

Compile

Copy the Source Code

cp -rf SDK/external/rkmedia /home/neardi/

Install the Compilation Environment

sudo apt install libv4l-dev libasound2-dev build-essential cmake

Compile easymedia

Since easymedia is a dependency of rkmedia, you need to compile easymedia before compiling rkmedia.

cd /home/neardi/rkmedia
cmake ./

neardi@LPA3399PRO:~/rkmedia$ cmake ./
-- cmake version 3.16.3
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:11 (cmake_policy):
  The OLD behavior for policy CMP0025 will be removed from a future version
  of CMake.

  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
  policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.


CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:12 (cmake_policy):
  The OLD behavior for policy CMP0042 will be removed from a future version
  of CMake.

  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
  policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.
