Maintainer: Ralf Kaestner [email protected]

License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)

Operating system(s): Debian-based Linux

Package PPA: ppa:ethz-asl/drivers

Description

This project provides a driver library and basic command-line utilities for operating Seek Thermal imaging devices under Linux.

Installation

Installing from packages (recommended for Ubuntu LTS users)

The maintainers of this project provide binary packages for the latest Ubuntu LTS releases and commonly used system architectures. To install these packages, you may follow these instructions:

  • Add the project PPA to your APT sources by issuing

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethz-asl/drivers

    on the command line

  • To re-synchronize your package index files, run

    sudo apt-get update

  • Install all project packages through

    sudo apt-get install libseekthermal*

    or selected packages using your favorite package management tool

Building from source

To build from source, this project requires the CMake build system with an open-source macro extension called ReMake.

Preparing the build system

If you already have installed ReMake on your build system, you may skip this step. Otherwise, before attempting to build this project the traditional CMake way, you must install ReMake following these instructions.

Installing build dependencies

The build dependencies of this project are available from the standard package repositories of recent Ubuntu releases. To install them, simply use the command

sudo apt-get install doxygen pkg-config

Building with CMake

Once ReMake is available on your build system, you may attempt to build this project the CMake way. Assuming that you have cloned the project sources into PROJECT_DIR, a typical out-of-source build might look like this:

  • Create a build directory using

    mkdir -p PROJECT_DIR/build

  • Switch into the build directoy by

    cd PROJECT_DIR/build

  • In the build directory, run

    cmake PROJECT_DIR

    to configure the build

  • If you want to inspect or modify the build configuration, issue

    ccmake PROJECT_DIR

  • Build the project using

    make

  • If you intend to install the project, call

    make packages_install

    (from packages on Debian-based Linux only) or

    make install

API documentation

This project generates its API documentation from source. To access it, you may either inspect the build directory tree after the project has been built using make or install the documentation package through

sudo apt-get install libseekthermal-doc
