Dependencies

While we value few dependencies some libraries are required in order to not have to reinvent the wheel. Due to the state of package management in C++ we decided to bundle some of them with our source code. These are found in the libs/ directory.

Core

To use the basic building blocks, meaning sls_detector_get/put and the shared libraries these are needed:

• Linux, preferably recent kernel (currently no cross platform support)
• CMake > 3.12
• C++11 compatible compiler. (We test with gcc and clang)
• ZeroMQ version 4

GUI

The GUI is currently using Qt4 but watch out for an upgrade to 5.

• Qt 4.8
• Qwt 6.1

Python bindings

• Python > 3.6
• pybind11 (packaged in libs/)

Documentation

The documentation that you are reading now is built with

• Doxygen (to extract C++ classes etc.)
• Breathe (Sphinx plugin to handle doxygen xml)
• Sphinx with sphinx_rtd_theme

Packaged in libs/

• catch2 (unit testing)
• rapidjson (streaming from receiver)
• pybind11 (python bindings)
