Hello,
I tried to build v3d on my desktop but the build file is far from being perfect. I got a bunch of errors :

../basic_c_fun/mg_image_lib.h:47:42: error: ../common_lib/include/tiffio.h: No such file or directory
I don't know if we are supposed to use the standard file but in any case, it would be better to either copy the file or update mg_image_lib.h to use the standard header file.

I also get some errors but it might be related to the first one :
[: 27: ==: unexpected operator
[: 27: ==: unexpected operator
build_plugindemo.sh: 27: Bad substitution
cp: cannot stat `v3d/plugins': No such file or directory
sh: Can't open v3d/v3d

The problem was that we removed tiff and boost , assuming someone like you should know how to build them. However, I have just added another script called build.linux at the root folder of the V3D system. You can try now.

just type "sh build.linux" and you should be all set, and should be able to see V3D launches automatically with all default plugins. You need to build V3D-ITK plugins separately, of course.

Thanks for adding the script at the top.

There is still something missing to get
it to work in Ubuntu.


When I ran:

sh build.linux -B -j4

this is what I get in my Ubuntu 9.10 installation:
(the end of the error messages).

which version of qt are you using?

My Ubuntu for this test was fresh (as I reinstalled everything yesterday evening). I then downloaded qt 4.6.3 and built from scratch with the option "./configure -nomake examples".

The missing arthurwidget is in the qt demo. If you don't want to rebuild qt, then probably you can set the include path.

Or, you can directly go to v3d_main/v3d and find v3d.pro, run "qmake v3d.pro", followed by "make". This is exactly the same as the one we used before w/o the new script. If this does not work, then sth must change on your machine (as it worked before on your machine, right?).

Luis and I didn't build qt but we installed it from the repository and apparently the libdemo is built in a separate file if you get qt from the repository. That's why Luis and I updated the v3d.pro file during the Hackathon so that we can link with libdemo_shared.a :
-L/usr/lib/qt4/demos/shared -ldemo_shared

A potential problem is that a user may not have qt4 installed.

In that case, if the user (you) uses the QtCreator, you need to figure out where is the demo files (ArthurWidget).

Or, just rebuild qt as I suggest, which is very easy:

(1) download qt src code
(2) run "./configure -no-make examples"
(3) make -j8
(4) sudo make install
(5) set the PATH environment variable to include the compiled QT, so that "qmake" is visible
(6) finally build v3d

That's another way to do it but I think many users don't like compiling libraries.

I just managed to compile and link v3d on my desktop with Ubuntu 8.04 (that's one more reason for releasing the source code cause I could't run v3d on my desktop before ;-). I had to make a few changes that I'm listing below (it might be useful for somebody else) :

sudo apt-get install qt4-demos
sudo apt-get install libqt4-opengl-dev
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt4/demos/shared/arthurwidgets.h /usr/include/arthurwidgets.h
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt4/demos/shared/arthurstyle.h /usr/include/arthurstyle.h

In build.redhat :
replaced qmake v3d.pro $QARGS by qmake-qt4 v3d.pro $QARGS
(you also need to edit build_plugindemo.sh)

I have the same problem with the new build (as of today) on my Ubuntu 10.4 machine. I run ./build.linux -B -j4 and get this:

a few days ago, with 2.503 build it worked ok.

Ihor

see aurelien's solution. that should work.

or, re-build qt. that can also ensure the correctness.

Just edit the v3d.pro file to make sure the following line is NOT commented out :
-L/usr/lib/qt4/demos/shared -ldemo_shared

I have updated the v3d.pro file in the repository.

as of today, build.linux (2.513) works without any changes that were proposed after I posted the problem
