Both development environment and GCS are supported on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
The first step is to Install all OS specific prerequisites.
Install XCode and its relatated command line tools (follow Apple documentation). Install git, curl and p7zip.
You can use brew with brew install git curl p7zip
or macport with sudo port install git curl p7zip
.
sudo apt-get install git build-essential curl gdb wget debhelper p7zip-full unzip flex bison libsdl1.2-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libc6-i386 mesa-common-dev
Install Msys2
Follow the instructions on the web site. You can either install the i686 (Win32) or x86_64 (Win64) version. It is recommended to go for the Win64 Shell if possible. The x86_64 version has both Win32 and Win64 shells and it is possible to build both i686 and x86_64 applications.
Add the following lines at the end of your /etc/pacman.conf file:
[librepilot-mingw]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://download.librepilot.org/repo/mingw
Start a MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell or a MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell.
pacman -Sy
pacman -S --needed git unzip tar mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-i686-ccache mingw-w64-i686-qt5 mingw-w64-i686-SDL mingw-w64-i686-mesa mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-gdal-minimal mingw-w64-i686-OpenSceneGraph mingw-w64-i686-osgearth
Optionally install debug packages:
pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-i686-OpenSceneGraph-debug mingw-w64-i686-osgearth-debug
Start a MinGW-w64 Win64 Shell.
pacman -Sy
pacman -S --needed git unzip tar mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-ccache mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5 mingw-w64-x86_64-SDL mingw-w64-x86_64-mesa mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-gdal-minimal mingw-w64-x86_64-OpenSceneGraph mingw-w64-x86_64-osgearth
Optionally install debug packages:
pacman -S --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-OpenSceneGraph-debug mingw-w64-x86_64-osgearth-debug
NOTE On Windows you need to run the mingw version of make, which is mingw32-make
The all_sdk_install
target will automatically retrieve and install all needed tools (qt, arm gcc, etc.) in a local folder /path/to/LibrePilot_root/tools
make all_sdk_install
make package
mingw32-make all_sdk_install
mingw32-make package
The package
target will build the complete installable package for the current platform.
You can build the all
target to just build the software.
Run make
with no arguments to show the complete list of supported targets.
