SlsSetector major release 5 and/or 6

[lrlunin]

Dear esrf-bliss team,

first of all I want to thank you for provide a library for the detectors. There was a couple of major updates of slsDetector API version after the last commit in this repository. So, this plug-in cannot be further used. Could you update this library accroding to the actual release?

Dear @lrlunin,

Glad to know that you are interested in the Lima plugin of the PSI SLS-Detectors. I have just pushed the branch slsdetectorpackage-6.0, which supports the latest major release. Please remember that we use a modified version of the slsReceiver software, which you will find in the external-frame-assembler branch of our slsDetectorPackage fork repository.

Regards

Alejandro

Dear @alejandrohomsp,

thank you very much for a quickly response. There was a couple of issues with git submodule commands, but I downloaded all required packages per hands. However, I am not able to compile the library with the multiple errors referred to c++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Waddress-of-packed-member'.

My machine runs RHEL 7.9 and gcc -v output is gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44) (GCC) . So far as I know it is not possible to install a newer version because this version is the latest stable (accroding to Red Hat).

Thanks in advance
Leonid

Dear @lrlunin,

I strongly recommend you to manually install a recent gcc version on your system; we are currently working with v11.2.0 from conda-forge, but v9.x should also do the job. I recently had a hard experience with gcc v7.5.0; I had to disable some Jungfrau geometry code in order to make it work. You can have a look to branches gcc-7.5.0 on both our slsDetectorPackage fork and Lima-camera-slsdetector for the necessary hacks.

Regards

Alejandro
