mcgi5sr2 af51b7c477 cmake: make video backend optional via VIDEO_BACKEND flag
Add VIDEO_BACKEND cmake option (default ON) that controls whether FFmpeg
is required and video playback is compiled in. When OFF, VideoBackend.cpp
is excluded from the build and all video code paths in Background are
gated by HYPRLOCK_HAS_VIDEO, allowing a no-FFmpeg build for packagers
who want to ship without the dependency.

Docs / Configuration

See the wiki

Arch install

pacman -S hyprlock # binary x86 tagged release
# or
yay -S hyprlock-git # compiles from latest source

Building

Deps

You need the following dependencies

  • cairo
  • hyprgraphics
  • hyprlang
  • hyprutils
  • hyprwayland-scanner
  • mesa (required is libgbm, libdrm and the opengl runtime)
  • pam
  • pango
  • sdbus-cpp (>= 2.0.0)
  • wayland-client
  • wayland-protocols
  • xkbcommon

Sometimes distro packages are missing required development files. Such distros usually offer development versions of library package - commonly suffixed with -devel or -dev.

cmake --no-warn-unused-cli -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -S . -B ./build
cmake --build ./build --config Release --target hyprlock -j`nproc 2>/dev/null || getconf _NPROCESSORS_CONF`

Installation:

sudo cmake --install build
