Building ParticleAnalyser on Linux

Max Sommer edited this page Aug 13, 2014 · 2 revisions

This is a list of steps required to set up a build environment for the ParticleAnalyser and build it. They require that you have a local copy of the sources stored locally.

  1. Install the required packages. They are: build-essential, cmake
  2. Download cspice. Choose the version that you want to build for (x86 or x64) here. The download also contains the source in case you want to re-build it yourself.
    Unpack everything into .../CometTrails/Particle_Analyser/Code/cspice/.
  3. Inside of the Code-Directory, run "cmake .".
    If there are no error messages, compile and link the project by typing make.
  4. Find the executable and copy it to your working directory. By default (unless you tell CMake to place it elsewhere), it will be located at .../CometTrails/Particle_Analyser/Code/PAnalyser.
