Linux

A simple map application and test suite for Linux based on Mapbox GL Native and GLFW.

We are using Ubuntu for development. While the software should work on other distributions as well, we are not providing explicit build instructions here.

This process gives you a Linux desktop app built on a Linux host system.

Prerequisites

Install GCC 4.9+ if you are running Ubuntu 14.04 or older. Alternatively, you can also use Clang 3.5+.

sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
export CXX=g++-4.9

Ensure you have git and other build essentials:

sudo apt-get install curl git build-essential zlib1g-dev automake \
                     libtool xutils-dev make cmake pkg-config python-pip \
                     libcurl4-openssl-dev libpng-dev libsqlite3-dev \
                     libllvm3.9

Ensure you have cmake 3.x:

sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-data

Install glfw3 dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libxi-dev libglu1-mesa-dev x11proto-randr-dev \
                     x11proto-xext-dev libxrandr-dev \
                     x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev libxxf86vm-dev \
                     libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev

Node.js 4.2.1 or later is also required.

ccache is optional, but improves recompilation performance.

Build

Clone the git repository:

 git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native.git
 cd mapbox-gl-native

Note that this repository uses Git submodules. They'll be automatically checked out when you first run a make command, but are not updated automatically. We recommended that you run git submodule update after pulling down new commits to this repository.

Set the environment variable MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN to your Mapbox access token:

export MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=MYTOKEN

Optionally, you can specify a custom style to the test application:

export MAPBOX_STYLE_URL=MYSTYLEURL

Then, you can then proceed to build the test application:

make glfw-app

Set an access token as described below, and then run:

make run-glfw-app

Test

  • make test-* Builds and runs all tests. You can specify individual tests by replacing * with their name (e.g. make test-Sprite.CustomSpriteImages).

The zsh will treat the * in this command as a glob, so you'll need to run make "test-*" instead.

Usage

Keyboard shortcuts for testing functionality are logged to the console when the test app is started.
