Building the Digimesh Wrapper

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/heronsystems/MACEDigiWrapper

In the directory where the wrapper was cloned, create three new directories: MACEDigiWrapper/lib, MACEDigiWrapper/bin, and MACEDigiWrapper/include.

There are two options when building the Digimesh wrapper. Follow the instructions for your preferred method:

Qt Creator IDE build

Using the Qt Creator IDE, open the MACEDigiWrapper.pro file, making sure to configure the project using a MinGW enabled kit. Go to the Projects tab and select Build.

Qt_ProjectsTab

Add a build step using the dropdown and select Make.

Qt_MakeDropdown

In the Make arguments: box, add install. Generated headers and libraries should install to the /include and /lib directories off the root of the project made prior to building.

Qt_MakeInstall

Command line build

Navigate to /MACEDigiWrapper and use qmake to generate Makefiles. Then make the libraries and install header files with the following commands:

$ cd /_code/MACEDigiWrapper
$ qmake
$ make
$ make install

Digimesh Environment Variables

To build MACE later, you will need to set environment variables for the MACEDigiWrapper. The steps to do so are different between Windows and Linux.

Windows

Open the Windows Control Panel and search for "Environment Variables." Select Edit the system environment variables and select "Environment Variables..." You should see the "Environment Variables" window appear:

EnvironmentVariables

Select "New..." and add an environment variable with the name MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER and the value set to the root directory such that %MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER%/include and %MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER%/lib resolves to the appropriate directories. If the library was cloned into C:/Code, the variable value would be C:/Code/MACEDigiWrapper. There is no need to add anything to the PATH environment variable at this point.

Linux

Open the ~/.bashrc file with your preferred text editor and add the following lines to the end of the file:

export MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER="/_code/MACEDigiWrapper"

Make sure to run source ~/.bashrc to have the changes take effect. This edit to the .bashrc file will have the MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER set in every terminal. The above path (i.e. /_code/MACEDigiWrapper) is an example, however this path should reflect wherever the root directory of the MACEDigiWrapper repository is. The MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER environment variable should be set such that %MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER%/include and %MACE_DIGIMESH_WRAPPER%/lib resolves to the appropriate directories.
