Installation Instructions

Dependencies

This library builds on top of Eigen 3, a C++ template library for linear algebra (http://eigen.tuxfamily.org). To work properly, it must be installed on your system.

You also need the Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neighbors (FLANN) (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/research/flann).

The installation of OpenCV (http://opencv.org) is optional.

Linux

On Linux systems the above mentioned software packages are often availabe through the system's package management software. On Ubuntu or Debian-based systems just run:

$ apt-get install libeigen3-dev
$ apt-get install libflann-dev
$ apt-get install libopencv-dev (optional)

Build Instructions

Linux

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
$ make && make install

If you also want to build the unit tests, change the cmake command as follows:

$ cmake -D BUILD_TEST=1 -G "Unix Makefiles" ..

The default installation location on Unix-like systems is /usr/local. Thus the default installation directories are

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/include/TRTK

You can change this by setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/christoph/usr/local .

Windows (Visual Studio 2010 or above)

From the Visual Studio command line run the following commands inside the trunk folder:

> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 10" ..

Alternatively, you can run cmake-gui.

You can adapt the properties as necessary.

Start the solution and buid the project. By building the subproject "INSTALL" the library is installed.

The default installation location on Windows is C:\Program Files.
