Getting started (Tutorial 1)

In this tutorial we show the basics of a simple PipeWire application. Use this tutorial to get started and help you set up your development environment.

Initialization

Let get started with the simplest application.

#include <pipewire/pipewire.h>                                                  

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	pw_init(&argc, &argv);

	fprintf(stdout, "Compiled with libpipewire %s\n"
                        "Linked with libpipewire %s\n",
                                pw_get_headers_version(),
                                pw_get_library_version());
	return 0;
}

Before you can use any PipeWire functions, you need to call pw_init().

Compilation

To compile the simple test application, copy it into a test1.c file and use:

gcc -Wall test1.c -o test1 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libpipewire-0.3)

then run it with:

# ./test1
Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.5
Linked with libpipewire 0.3.5
#
