Installation Instructions

Table of Contents : Introduction to the Open-Sessame Framework

This page contains installation instructions for Linux, Windows, Embedded Computers, and Installing Libraries.

For more info see section Troubleshooting Installation.

Requirements

The following programs are required or suggested for using and developing with the Open-Sessame Framework:

• Doxygen
  • GraphViz (Another)
• GNU GCC
• GnuPlot
• CVS

Building the libraries

Linux

1. Grab the current software via 2 methods, CVS or a bundled ZIP file:
   1. CVS
      • Make sure that CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) is installed on your system.
      • Run the following command from the directory where you want to store the project files:

         cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/spacecraft co spacecraft 

      • If you receive an error like: "cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server cvs.sourceforge.net" just keep trying to checkout, the anonymous server is over-worked.
   2. ZIP File
      • Download the source bunde from Files.
      • Unzip the bundle or source file:

         gunzip OpenSessame-##_bundle.zip 

        (where ## is the current version number)
2. Change to the spacecraft root directory:

    cd spacecraft/ 

3. Run the make file to compile the libraries:

    make 

   • If you see the following error: {verbatim}make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/mkspecs/linux-g++/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.{verbatim} it means you don't have QT or qmake installed or the environment variable set. Make sure QT is installed and then type the following at the command line: {verbatim}export QTDIR="/usr/share/qt"{verbatim}
4. Compile the documentation:

    make doc 

5. Change to the test directory:

    cd src/test/ 

6. Build a test file:

    make testPropagation 

7. Run the test program. If it runs okay, your installation is finished:

    ./testPropagation 

Windows

Embedded Computers
