Debian

Use the following commands to create a Debian package:

sudo apt-get build-dep . # to install build dependencies
sed "s/#DIST#/$(lsb_release -cs)/g" debian/changelog.in > debian/changelog
dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign # omit this argument if you have a private key to sign with

This builds the following binary packages:

  • libcec8 — the shared library (named after the SONAME; supersedes the old libcec4-libcec7 names)
  • libcec8-dev — headers, the pkg-config and CMake package config, and the static library
  • cec-utils — the cec-client and cecc-client example clients
  • python-libcec — the Python 3 bindings
  • libcec-dotnet — the cross-platform LibCecSharp .NET binding and its NuGet package
  • node-libcec — the native Node.js (N-API) binding, installed as a global node module
  • librust-libcec-dev — the Rust binding, as crate sources under /usr/share/cargo/registry
  • libcec — a meta package pulling in the shared library

The libcec-dotnet package requires the .NET 8 SDK (dotnet-sdk-8.0) at build time and the .NET 8 runtime at install time; the build enables it via -DENABLE_DOTNET_LIB=1 (see debian/rules). The build also enables the Linux kernel CEC framework, Exynos and AOCEC backends.

The node-libcec package is built with node-gyp (build-deps: nodejs, libnode-dev, node-gyp, node-addon-api) rather than cmake's ENABLE_NODE_LIB option, which uses npm and would need network access. debian/rules builds the addon against the freshly-staged libCEC via PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR and installs it as a global node module under /usr/lib/<triplet>/nodejs/libcec.

The librust-libcec-dev package does use its cmake option (-DENABLE_RUST_LIB=1, build-deps: cargo, rustc), because the crate has no dependencies of its own and therefore builds --offline with no vendored registry. Rust has no stable ABI, so what ships is the crate source, in the layout dh-cargo produces: /usr/share/cargo/registry/libcec-<version>/. Consume it by pointing cargo at that directory in ~/.cargo/config.toml or the project's .cargo/config.toml:

[source.crates-io]
replace-with = "debian"

[source.debian]
directory = "/usr/share/cargo/registry"
