Compiling - abroun/text_mapping GitHub Wiki

The text_mapping project is reasonably easy to compile on Linux, and a little bit tricky to compile on Windows. The trickiness on Windows is because the text_mapping project uses a number of 3rd party libraries, which have to be downloaded and compiled first. These are

• VTK
• QT4
• Boost

Linux

The text_mapping project has been tested with Ubuntu 12.04, and so the versions of the dependencies that come with this distribution can be considered safe to use.

CMake and GCC are used to build the project. If you're familiar with other CMake projects then the build process should be fairly straightforward.

• Install the dependencies with the package manager
• Build in a separate build folder by executing the following in the main directory
  mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
