How to build MARMEAS

You need:

• C++ tool chain (compiler, linker, ..
• QT4 libraries
• QT4 Utilities (like to create help, etc)
• cmake version 2.8.6 or higher
• cppunit 0.11 or higher
• doxygen
• NullSoft Installer toolkit (windows only)
• MinGW environment (windows only)

Build Procedure (for outband build)

• get source and extract it into a directory e.g. 'marmeas'
• create a 'build' directory
• change to the build directory
• call cmake 'marmeas' you can modify some of the cmake default settings using ccmake or cmakegui
• (on linux) call make all ; make install ; make package

Help/Documentation

• will be created during the build procedure
• user documentation is done facilitating the QT Help system
• developer documentation is done by using doxygen; the result are html documents stored into the source-docs directory

Plugins

• MARMEAS uses a plugin concept and encapsulates objects to be measured (like line, circle, polygone, etc into libraries that are loaded at runtime.
• Primitive objects are created during the build, still it is possible to develop plugins independently upon the development of the application

UnitTests

• MARMEAS assures major portions of the desired behavior by unittests.
• you can execute the unit tests after you build/installed all by calling the 'marmeas-xxx-testrunner' application. All tests must successfully pass.
