Ubuntu

This Tutorial is currently under development. It is written using Ubuntu 13.04 - Raring Ringtail. Other Ubuntu Versions and Linux distributions are yet untested but may work thou.

Required dependencies

Dependencies provided by default Repository

You need the following packages from the Ubuntu Repository: git, cmake, libboost-all-dev, libcppunit-dev

apt-get install git, cmake, libboost-all-dev, libcppunit-dev

jsoncpp

apt-get install scon
wget "http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsoncpp/files/jsoncpp/0.6.0-rc2/jsoncpp-src-0.6.0-rc2.tar.gz/download"
tar -xvzf jsoncpp-src-0.6.0-rc2.tar.gz
cd jsoncpp-src-0.6.0-rc2
scons platform=linux-gcc

Jsoncpp doesn't seem to install itself, so you'll have to manually copy the library and header files wherever you want them when you're building applications that use the library.

sudo cp -r include/json /usr/local/include/
sudo cp libs/linux-gcc-*/libjson_linux-gcc-*_libmt.so /usr/lib/libjson.so

libOVR (Oculus SDK)

The latest version of the Oculus SDK is available at http://developer.oculusvr.com. Please see the Oculus SDK Overview in the OculusSDK/Doc/ directory for more information.

After building the SDK you have to move the resulting Libraries to a folder where the SocketDwarf project may find them. Where this is exactly will be documented soon.

Building it with Eclipse CDT

  1. Create Eclipse Workspace with cmake cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ./

  2. Import the resulting Project as Existing Code as Makefile Project

  3. Build it and find the results in the build/bin folder
