MussaGL Build Info
Test (temp)
General Requirements
- Qt4.1.1 - Linux | Mac OS X | Windows (Note: You can build with Qt4.1.0 but you won't have any icons)
- Boost C++ Libraries (program_options, test, python modules)
- Mussagl Source (See download section)
- CMake or qmake (part of qt)
Windows XP Requirements
- MingGW (gcc compiler and tools for Windows... Qt4.1 installer will install it for you).
CMake Build commands
CMake has several advantages over qmake or standard make files for multiplatform development. One advantage is that it lets one build out of source (which makes clean up if a build goes wrong much easer.)
After installing cmake, change to the mussa source directory and do the following.
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make qui/mussagl
(Yes its annoying that the executable is dropped in a subdirectory, I hope that as I learn more about cmake I can fix that).
To run the unittests from with in the build directory type
make test
or
ctest
Some useful alternate modes for cmake are:
make VERBOSE=1
which will show the actual commands being used to compile the program, and
ctest -VV
which will show the output of the various test programs.
QMake Build Command
Building with qmake (this can only build mussagl, it doesn't build the python interface or the unittests)
qmake make
Troubleshooting
If running make generates a large number of error messages, you mostly likely ran the qt3 version of qmake.
qmake -version
should report
QMake version: 2.00a Using Qt version 4.1.0 in [wherever qt4 was installed]
