The easiest way to make sure that you install the right dependencies for
unpackaged software like 3DTK on Debian based distributions is to build a
meta package using the equivs tool. For 3DTK we ship the control information
of such a meta package in this repository so that you can use the equivs tool
to build and install a meta package which will then in turn make sure that you
have all the required dependencies on your system. The advantage compared to
installing all dependencies manually is that by removing the meta package
3dtk-build-deps you created can also automatically remove all the
dependencies that were installed with it and are not needed anymore.
Run apt-cache policy to find out whether you have the universe and multiverse
repositories enabled. If not, run:
$ echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe multiverse | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
$ sudo apt-get update
To download 3DTK and install its dependencies, run:
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends equivs subversion
$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/slam6d/code/trunk slam6d-code
$ cd slam6d-code
$ equivs-build doc/equivs/control.ubuntu.xenial
$ sudo dpkg -i 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install --no-install-recommends
$ make
You can now use 3DTK, for example by running these tools:
$ bin/slam6D dat
$ bin/show dat
Ninja builds 3DTK faster than GNU Make and will automatically build in
parallel. Follow the steps above, but before running make, install Ninja:
$ sudo apt-get install ninja-build
Then tell our Makefile to use Ninja:
$ CMAKE_GENERATOR=Ninja make
Read and follow the instructions for Ubuntu 16.04, do not add the Ubuntu universe and multiverse repositories, and make the following adaptions:
$ equivs-build doc/equivs/control.debian.jessie
Before compiling ($make) disable (switch to OFF) the options:
WITH_GLFW, WITH_QT
The easiest way to install all required dependencies is to use Homebrew. You can install Homebrew as follows:
$/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
for more information about Homebrew have a look at Homebrew. After this, the commands to install the dependencies and build are:
$ brew update
$ brew bundle
$ export PATH="/usr/local/opt/qt/bin:$PATH"
$ mkdir .build
$ cmake -H. -B.build -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF -DWITH_OPENMP=OFF -DWITH_FTGL=OFF $CMAKEOPTS -G "Ninja"
$ cmake --build .build
$ dnf install make gcc gcc-c++ libzip-devel ann-devel boost-devel opencv-devel mesa-libGL-devel freeglut-devel libXmu-devel libXi-devel suitesparse-devel
