libYafaRay uses CMake for the building process in Linux, Windows and MacOSX systems.
See directory "building" for example procedures to build libYafaRay
Dependencies:
-
Required
- C++11 compliant compiler
-
Optional, depending on options selected in CMake:
- meganz/mingw-std-threads
- >=zlib-1.2.8
- >=libxml2-2.9.1
- >=opencv-3.1.0
- >=freetype-2.4.0
- >=libpng-1.2.56
- >=jpeg-6b
- >=tiff-4.0.3
- >=ilmbase-2.2.0
- >=openexr-2.2.0
- >=python-3.5
- >=ruby-2.2
- >=qt-5
Notes about dependencies:
- ZLib is needed if LibXML2, libPNG or OpenEXR are used.
- LibXML2 is used to allow import of XML files (usually by building YafaRay XML Loader)
- OpenCV is used to do some image processing, most importantly texture mipmaps for Trilinear or EWA interpolations.
- Python is used only if the Python bindings are built (for example for the Blender Exporter)
- Ruby is used if the Ruby bindings are built (for example to create the Sketchup plugin)
- Qt is optional, used for the Sketchup plugin for example
