Dependencies

Compilation

Compiling can be done in two ways. Either with the convenience script cmk.sh or directly with cmake for more control.

1. Compile using script cmk.sh

These are mainly aimed at those not familiar with using ccmake and cmake.

    The binaries are generated in slsDetectorPackage/build/bin directory.

    Usage: ./cmk.sh [-c] [-b] [-p] [e] [t] [r] [g] [s] [u] [i] [m] [n] [-h] [z] [-d <HDF5 directory>] [-l Install directory] [-k <CMake command>] [-j <Number of threads>]
    -[no option]: only make
    -c: Clean
    -b: Builds/Rebuilds CMake files normal mode
    -p: Builds/Rebuilds Python API
    -h: Builds/Rebuilds Cmake files with HDF5 package
    -d: HDF5 Custom Directory
    -k: CMake command
    -l: Install directory
    -t: Build/Rebuilds only text client
    -r: Build/Rebuilds only receiver
    -g: Build/Rebuilds only gui
    -s: Simulator
    -u: Chip Test Gui
    -j: Number of threads to compile through
    -e: Debug mode
    -i: Builds tests
    -m: Manuals
    -n: Manuals without compiling doxygen (only rst)
    -z: Moench zmq processor

    
    # get all options
    ./cmk.sh -?

    # new build  and compile in parallel:
    ./cmk.sh -bj5

2. Compile without script
Use cmake to create out-of-source builds, by creating a build folder parallel to source directory. This would create a debug build with address sanitizers.

    $ mkdir build
    $ cd build
    $ cmake ../slsDetectorPackage  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DSLS_USE_SANITIZER=ON
    $ make -j12 #or whatever number of threads wanted

To install binaries using CMake

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/slsDetectorPackage.git
    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake ../slsDetectorPackage -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/install/path
    make -j12 #or whatever number of cores you are using to build
    make install
