How to build

Remarks

If for any reason you do not make use of our delivered prebuilt packages, we recommend using cmake together with conan on which the source code is based.
You will find the required scripts/conan/build/conanfile.py within the source package.

Build Environment

This package has been built and tested only under following compilers and operating systems (native/container):

Windows Desktop (x86_64)

Note

The packages can be used OS version independent, prefered together with conan.
We recommend our used and tested platform Microsoft Windows 11 64 Bit.
On any other Windows 64 Bit platform (e.g. Windows 7, 10 or Server) make sure that it fulfills the following requirements

• Visual C++ 2019 (at least CXX Compiler MSVC 19.29) / Visual C++ 14.2 (VC142 Toolchain at least 14.29)

• CMake at least 3.23

Linux Desktop (x86_64)

Note

The packages can be used OS version and distribution independent, prefered together with conan.
We recommend our used and tested platform Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64 Bit or higher.
On any other distributions (e.g. Fedora, Debian) make sure that it fulfills the following requirements

• gcc >= 7
• libc >= 2.27
• libstdc++ >= 6.0.25
• CMake at least 3.23
• build-essential libarchive-dev mesa-common-dev mesa-utils libglib2.0-0 libxcb-xinerama0

Linux for ARMv8 (AArch64)

Note

The packages can be used OS version and distribution independent, prefered together with conan.
We recommend our used and tested platform Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64 Bit or higher.
On any other distributions (e.g. Fedora, Debian) make sure that it fulfills the following requirements.
Our reference hardware is nVidia Jetson TX2 Board (compatible to e.g. nVidia Drive PX 2 or Jetson AGX XAVIER)

• gcc >= 7
• libc >= 2.27
• libstdc++ >= 6.0.25
• CMake at least 3.23
• build-essential libarchive-dev mesa-common-dev mesa-utils libglib2.0-0

Note: Our entire code is prepared for cross-compiling (as we do as well). See cmake/conan documentation for how to.
