Please provide OS X binaries

[alexhelder]

Not everyone with OS X can run homebrew. For example, enterprise management software may block homebrew.

[rom1v]

It would be great if there was an option to build scrcpy statically (with relevant parts of ffmpeg and sdl included). (#1624)

This would be easier to distribute a binary for other platforms.

[walkthunder]

Anybody working on this issue? Really need it.

[walkthunder]

I wanna work it out, but I'm not familar with the build system. So could you pls give me some hints, like:

how to prepare the dependencies(ffmpeg).

would this be helpful? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-build/-/blob/master/subprojects/FFmpeg.wrap I can see It generates each library's pkg_config file, inside it's meson.build

This way pkg_config knows where to find libavcodec/libavformat/.etc when building scrcpy.

would that work? @rom1v or what else need to be noticed?

[Biswa96]

I am not familiar with macOS but will this work https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ffmpeg?

[walkthunder]

@Biswa96 In this way ffmpeg linked as shared library. But here we need a static version of libavformat/libavcodec instead of dylibs.

And some related header files are also necessary, with which we can declare dependencies.

[Genxster1998]

+1 , its really ridicules to install 1GB+ source setup and other system overheads to use scrcpy on MacOS using brew . I don't know how it got popular even though it pulls Gigabytes to just update its database .

[rom1v]

https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy#macos Is it the same with MacPorts?

On macports , macports default base installation size. is 500MB. On executing sudo port install scrcpy

[Genxster1998]

Could scrcpy be build with static libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libsdl2 and relevent headers ?

[Coool]

scrcpy for macOS

[LeeBinder]

@Coool just in case the news didn't reach you: scrcpy v.1.2.5 is out 🥇

[Coool]

@LeeBinder I know. Can't keep up with all crap. Build scrcpy v1.25 release. Is it working?

[LeeBinder]

Great. We're here for fun not on the run .. ;) YES, working fine in Catalina, WELL DONE @Coool ! (can test in Ventura in a few days.)

Now most libs are compiled right into the binary, just leaving libSDL2-2.0.0 and libusb-1.0.0 as external dylibs. From what I know that usually indicates speed increase.

[Coool]

I will try statically integrate other two, too. But still in progress to figure out.

[LeeBinder]

@Coool just for the sake of knowing: did you also use MacPorts in any way during the process of building/ compiling your fork?

[Coool]

@LeeBinder, No. Build all dependencies from original sources at compile time.

[LeeBinder]

Gotcha. Have you tried compiling v.2.0 yet? Would like to compare differences with my MacPorts build.

[Coool]

@LeeBinder, scrcpy v2.0 for macOS.

P.S. Report on which macOS version binary is working!

[LeeBinder]

Great, thank you @Coool . Less than 9MB compressed, that's impressive. It might be until Sunday nite that I can test in Ventura, Monterey and Big Sur and will let you know then 👍

[Coool]

@LeeBinder, what your opinion do I need to create new issue suggestion which configure parameters to use for ffmpeg, SDL2 and libusb to optimize binary size? So we can squeeze more 👍.

[rom1v]

which configure parameters to use for ffmpeg

You can use the same as the ones used for the Windows release: https://github.com/rom1v/scrcpy-deps/

[Coool]

@rom1v, are those parameters minimal required to scrcpy functional or we can disable some more not needed libraries function to squeeze as much as we can?

P.S. Anyway great work. I will try my best to translate documentation to Latvian. Already started with 1.2x, but you have made big progress on 2.0 documentation, so I need to catch up with your great categorized doc, help, wiki.

[rom1v]

are those parameters minimal required to scrcpy functional

It is the very minimal FFmpeg configuration with only the features used by scrcpy. The total size of the resulting dlls for Windows is 4.7Mb.

[Coool]

Why do you need on Windows?

• CFLAGS=-static-libgcc
• LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc

[rom1v]

Without it, it fails at runtime with missing dll libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll.

https://github.com/rom1v/scrcpy-deps/blob/85d93b375a594574241a05a061d4fba9f522fa57/build_ffmpeg_windows.sh#L13

[Coool]

@rom1v, check out scrcpy FFmpeg build script for macOS.

P.S. Strange can't compile scrcpy with your FFmpeg build parameters. All works great only with --disable-shared and --enable-static.

undef: _SecTaskCreateFromSelf undef: _SecTaskCopyValueForEntitlement Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_SecTaskCreateFromSelf", referenced from: _darwin_detach_kernel_driver in libusb-1.0.a(darwin_usb.o) "_SecTaskCopyValueForEntitlement", referenced from: _darwin_detach_kernel_driver in libusb-1.0.a(darwin_usb.o)

[LeeBinder]

@Coool your build (even though compiled in the old macOS High Sierra) runs fine all the way up to the latest Ventura 13.3.1 (also tested in Monterey, Big Sur and Catalina). Apparently your FFmpeg build parameters are fine for macOS.

One suggestion regarding the path to scrcpy-server: can you make it relative rather than static to /Android/scrcpy/scrcpy-server? You can query the current path of the scrcpy binary with a command like cd "$(dirname "$0")" or simply pwd - depending on usage inside your code by assigning a variable like DIR=$( cd $(dirname $0) ; pwd). Then both binaries, scrcpy and scrcpy-server, could be on the same level ("next to each other").

Also, in a second step, if you can assign a relative path in a way that the scrcpy binary looks for scrcpy-server in ../Resources, it might be possible to package both into an app package scrcpy.app 👍

In case you're curious about that, I've attached an app template zip for that purpose :)

[hellokuan]

@Coool we need you help , come on

[LeeBinder]

@hellokuan how do people usually react when someone is being pushy on them? Right, they most likely retract..

Also it's highly unlikely that it's possible to compile for Apple Silicon in the old macOS High Sierra.

Anyway, look here.

[Coool]

@hellokuan, based on Stack Overflow article, you need at least Xcode version 12.2. Is it true, I don't know. Until you don't test yourself, don't trust anything what published on web. I'm using Xcode Version 10.1 (10B61) which is latest supported on macOS 10.13.6+ (High Sierra). I will check if it is feasible.
