To develop a .Net Framework application that uses LibCecSharp:
- download the latest binary version from our website
- add a reference to LibCecSharp.dll for the target architecture (x86/amd64). It's installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Pulse-Eight\USB-CEC Adapter\netfxby default - the minimum .Net Framework version required for LibCecSharp is 4.0
An example implementation can be found on Github.
To develop a .Net Core application that uses LibCecSharp:
- download the latest binary version from our website
- add a reference to LibCecSharpCore.dll for the target architecture (x86/amd64). It's installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Pulse-Eight\USB-CEC Adapter\netcoreby default - the minimum .Net Core version required for LibCecSharpCore is 3.1
An example implementation can be found on Github.
To compile libCEC on Windows, you'll need the following dependencies:
- p8-platform 2.0 or later
- cmake 3.12 or newer
- Visual Studio 2019 (v16) or newer, with the following options selected: Universal Windows Platform development, Desktop development with C++, .NET Core cross platform development
- .Net Core 3.1
- To create an installer, you'll need Nullsoft's NSIS
- You also need two versions of Python to build an installer: Python 2.7.13 for x86, required by the EventGhost plugin and Python 3.6 or newer for x64
The build scripts have been configured for building with Visual Studio 2019. To use another version Visual Studio, pass the verion number as parameter: windows\visual-studio.cmd 2019
To only compile libCEC, follow these instructions:
git submodule update --init --recursive- run
windows\build-all.cmdto build libCEC and LibCecSharp
To develop for libCEC in Visual Studio:
git submodule update --init --recursive- run
windows\visual-studio.cmd
To build an installer on Windows:
git submodule update --init --recursive- run
windows\create-installer.cmd - the installer is stored as
build\libCEC-VERSION.exe
