Building isegHAL from source

Windows

Currently the project can be build with the MinGW compiler only.

The development takes place with Qt 5.5.1 and MinGW 4.9.2 32-Bit.

Runtime requirements

The iseg HAL Remote Server uses secure sockets for communication.

For the Windows remote example, the Windows OpenSSL libraries are needed.

Linux

To build isegHAL, the following packages are needed:

C++ Compiler and related tools ("build-essential")
Qt-dev-tools (qmake) Qt-Creator is recommended
libsocketcan-dev (see next section)

Building libsocketcan

If the distribution does not contain libsocketcan, it can be compiled from source:


wget 
http://www.pengutronix.de/software/libsocketcan/download/libsocketcan-0.0.10.tar.bz2

tar xjvf libsocketcan-0.0.10.tar.bz2

cd libsocketcan-0.0.10

./configure

make

sudo make install

Ubuntu Linux


sudo apt-get install g++

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev

sudo apt-get install libsocketcan-dev

Building with Qt Creator

Open the project file isegHAL.pro in Creator. Creator asks to setup a shadow-build directory, which should be accepted. Then the project can be build with build all (Ctrl+Shift+B).

Building by hand

Shadow-building (i.e. the build is done outside the source directory) is recommended. Qmake needs the build directory to be in parallel to the source directory (i.e. on the same directory depth), e.g.:


/home/user/src/isegHAL <-- the sources

/home/user/src/isegHAL-build <-- the build directory

[/home/user/src]

mkdir isegHAL-build

cd isegHAL-build

qmake ../isegHAL/isegHAL.pro

make

Post build

The library isegHAL.so (and it's symbolic links) must be copied to the system libraries (/usr/lib) to use them with user software (e.g. iseg Control).

If the library is not in the system library directory, then the library search path has to be extended, e.g. for the current directory:


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./isegControl
