| [64d37a3] | 1 | Installing Survex on Unix
|
|---|
| 2 | =========================
|
|---|
| [8a64c35] | 3 |
|
|---|
| [4a320aa] | 4 | If you are using Debian Linux or Ubuntu Linux or a distribution based
|
|---|
| [0211218a] | 5 | on one of these, you will find it easier to install one of the
|
|---|
| 6 | prepackaged versions of Survex.
|
|---|
| [6c7fbd5] | 7 |
|
|---|
| [cbc9803a] | 8 | Otherwise you'll need to build from source. These instructions assume you're
|
|---|
| 9 | building from released tar archive - if you want to build from by checking out
|
|---|
| 10 | code from the git repository then you'll need additional tools installed,
|
|---|
| 11 | documented at: https://survex.com/cvs.html
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | First of all, you need to make sure you have the required libraries installed.
|
|---|
| 14 | Where possible it's usually easier to install these using your Linux
|
|---|
| 15 | distribution's package manager.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 17 | Note that C/C++ library packages are usually split into runtime and
|
|---|
| 18 | development, usually with similar names but with a -dev or -devel or similar
|
|---|
| [d938adcc] | 19 | suffix on the development one. You'll need both installed to build Survex,
|
|---|
| 20 | but typically installing the development package will automatically install
|
|---|
| 21 | the corresponding runtime package too.
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 22 |
|
|---|
| [fd0e32a] | 23 | * The main dependency is wxWidgets 3.2 or later - if there's a suitable
|
|---|
| [d938adcc] | 24 | wxWidgets package for your platform, then just use that.
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | Otherwise download the source code from https://wxwidgets.org/ and
|
|---|
| 27 | follow their build instructions. IMPORTANT: You must enable OpenGL
|
|---|
| 28 | support by adding --with-opengl to the configure command line.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| [fd0e32a] | 30 | The last release to support wxWidgets 3.0 was Survex 1.4.17.
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| [b58dbb4] | 32 | * You'll also need a working C and C++ compiler (with support for C99 and
|
|---|
| 33 | C++11), and also the OpenGL development libraries if these aren't pulled in
|
|---|
| 34 | by installing wxWidgets.
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 35 |
|
|---|
| [67f9739] | 36 | * Version 7.2.0 or later of the PROJ library is needed for coordinate
|
|---|
| 37 | conversion functionality.
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 38 |
|
|---|
| [82a5db1] | 39 | * Optionally, GDAL is used to support reading geodata files. If not available
|
|---|
| 40 | this feature is disabled.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| [cf62988] | 42 | * Optionally, FFMPEG is used if available to implement Aven's movie export
|
|---|
| 43 | feature. If not available this feature is disabled.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | Then at a shell prompt, unpack the source code, cd into the directory, and
|
|---|
| 46 | enter the following commands:
|
|---|
| [55302e3] | 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | ./configure
|
|---|
| 49 | make
|
|---|
| [8a64c35] | 50 | make install
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| [7a0710c] | 52 | By default 'make install' will try to install Survex under /usr/local,
|
|---|
| 53 | which means you'll probably need to become root for the 'make install' stage.
|
|---|
| 54 | If you use sudo to manage root access, then:
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | sudo make install
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | You can tell configure to install Survex elsewhere (e.g. under your home
|
|---|
| [0211218a] | 59 | directory) like so:
|
|---|
| [55302e3] | 60 |
|
|---|
| [8a64c35] | 61 | ./configure --prefix=/home/olly/survex
|
|---|
| 62 | make
|
|---|
| 63 | make install
|
|---|
| [0211218a] | 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | If your wxWidgets installation isn't picked up automatically, or you
|
|---|
| 66 | have more than one version installed and want to select a particular
|
|---|
| 67 | one, then you can specify this like so:
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| [4a320aa] | 69 | ./configure WX_CONFIG=/opt/bin/wx-config
|
|---|
| [0211218a] | 70 |
|
|---|
| [4a320aa] | 71 | You can use both --prefix and WX_CONFIG= if necessary.
|
|---|
