PipeWire -------- PipeWire is a server and user space API to deal with multimedia pipelines. This includes: - Making available sources of video (such as from a capture devices or application provided streams) and multiplexing this with clients. - Accessing sources of video for consumption. - Generating graphs for audio and video processing. Nodes in the graph can be implemented as separate processes, communicating with sockets and exchanging multimedia content using fd passing. Building -------- Pipewire uses the Meson and Ninja build system to compile. If you're not familiar with these tools, the included "autogen.sh" script will automatically run the correct meson/ninja commands, and output a Makefile. It follows that there are two methods to build Pipewire, however both rely on Meson and Ninja to actually perform the compilation: $ ./autogen.sh $ make or the Meson/Ninja native method: $ meson build $ cd build $ ninja You can see the available meson options in meson_options.txt file.
