Prerequisites
If you haven’t yet done so, please install the application package and the SDK.
Copy the example files
We recommend creating a copy of the examples directory tree provided with the SDK so you can easily edit and build the example programs.
Let’s assume you’ve installed the SDK as described under point 2 above. The
examples directory tree can now be found as
<instdir>/share/examples/. To create a copy of it to, for instance,
eyevec/examples/ proceed as follows:
mkdir eyevec cp -a <instdir>/share/eyevec/examples eyevec
The examples directory is organized like this:
| Files | Description |
|---|---|
|
Top-level directory |
|
Brief README |
|
Top-level makefile for building all examples |
|
Symbols and rules for compiling under/for Linux |
|
Symbols and rules for compiling under/for Windows |
|
Symbols and rules for compiling under Linux for Windows |
|
Defines which of the above |
|
Brief README for example <n> |
|
Makefile for example <n> |
|
Source file(s) for example <n> |
|
Source files and Makefile for utility functions shared by the examples |
Select the target platform
Edit examples/setup.mk and uncomment the line that applies. The default
choice assumes you’re working under Linux:
include $(EXAMPLES_DIR)/linux.mk #include $(EXAMPLES_DIR)/windows.mk #include $(EXAMPLES_DIR)/linux-mingw.mk
So if you’re on Windows comment out the 'linux' line and uncomment the 'windows' line.
Define where to find the EyeVec library
Edit examples/linux.mk, examples/windows.mk or examples/linux-mingw.mk
(whichever applies) and set the EYEVEC_INCDIR, EYEVEC_LIBDIR and
EYEVEC_BINDIR symbols as appropriate. The default definitions are:
EYEVEC_INCDIR = $(BASEDIR)/include EYEVEC_LIBDIR = $(BASEDIR)/lib EYEVEC_BINDIR = $(BASEDIR)/bin
This means that for a standard installation simply defining the BASEDIR
symbol to the installation location might suffice too.
If everything has been installed properly you should be able to build example 1. See Initialization and cleanup to find out.
