Building With python script

The simplest way to build the project is by running the build.py script.

usage: build.py [-h] [--generator GENERATOR] [--build-location BUILD_LOCATION]
                [--install-location INSTALL_LOCATION] [--build-debug]
                [--build-release] [--build-relwithdebug]
                [--build-args [BUILD_ARGS [BUILD_ARGS ...]]] [-j JOBS]
                [--force FORCE_CLEAN_BUILD]
                workspace_location

1. Install prerequisites

• Required:
  • C++ compiler:
    • Gcc
    • Xcode
    • Microsoft Visual Studio
  • CMake
  • Python
• Optional
  • Ninja

2. Build location

By default the build directory is created in the workspace_location but the location can change to where ever you want by setting the --build-location flag.

3. Build Log

Build log log.txt is generated inside the build directory.

4. CMake Generator

It is up to the user to select the Cmake Generator of choice.To use the Ninja Generator, you need to first install the Ninja binary from https://ninja-build.org/ You then need to set the generator flag to Ninja and the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM variable to the Ninja binary you downloaded.

Building With CMake on Windows & Mac OS X

1. Clone this project
2. Generate Visual Studio solution or Xcode project:
   • cd into cloned project directory
   • make a directory called build/
   • cd into the build/
   • on windows run cmake .. -G "YOUR VISUAL STUDIO VERSION Win64"
   • on mac run cmake .. -G "Xcode" -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64
   • if you want release build, simply pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Building With CMake on RedHat & Debian

1. Install all needed tools, libraries, and compilers.

Debian

sudo apt-get install cmake clang xorg-dev libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx  libgl1-mesa-dev uuid-dev gtk+3.0

RedHat

sudo dnf -y install cmake clang libX11-devel libX11-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel libXcursor-devel mesa-libGL gtk3-devel uuid-devel

2. Generate UNIX Makefile:

   • cd into cloned project directory
   • make a directory called build/
   • cd into the build/
   • run cmake ..
   • if you want release build, simply pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   • make -j4 ( pass -j flag if you want to use more processors for compiling )
   • cd bin/
   • ./ThreeMFApp
