Accelerated Computing Intelligent Video Analytics DeepStream SDK
#1

Hi,
What is the recommended setup for an IDE to develop new applications based on the DeepStream SDK?
GNU make is inconvenient, to say the least. Is there a good starting point for using some IDE with CMake, for instance?
How about using VSCode or Visual Studio from Windows?
The sample applications are nice, but I can’t find any information on how to get started developing without using antiquated makefiles.

Thanks
Pavel

Hi,
I know that CLion works well with Deepstream and CMake.

Thanks

Deepstream uses GNU Make. I wish it used CMake

Hi,
You can write a CMakeLists.txt file for Deepstream code and use cmake.

See below example for building dsexample:
(from https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029650/cmake-deepstream-nvgstiva-app_sources/)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(gst_dsexample_sources2)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS “-Wall -g”)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

find_package(PkgConfig)

find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
#pkg_check_modules( OpenCV REQUIRED opencv)
#pkg_check_modules(GST REQUIRED gstreamer-1.0>=1.4)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER REQUIRED gstreamer-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-APP REQUIRED gstreamer-app-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-AUDIO REQUIRED gstreamer-audio-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-PBUTILS REQUIRED gstreamer-pbutils-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-FFT REQUIRED gstreamer-fft-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-VIDEO REQUIRED gstreamer-video-1.0)
pkg_check_modules(GSTREAMER-BASE REQUIRED gstreamer-base-1.0)
