The following is a typical walk through the installation of wxWidgets and the steps neccessary to build the SACAMOS GUI for Ubuntu Linux version 16.04.2 INSTALL wxWidgets ================= 1. Download the wxWidgets source from: https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ Note: The latest stable release is the recommended version version 3.0.2. 2. Extract the source code and enter the root folder, then do: ./configure Inspect the output and make note of any reported missing dependancies and install, typically for a fresh Ubuntu install this would be GTK+2.0 e.g To install GTK+3.0: sudo apt-get install gtk+3.0 Once ./configure runs succesfully: make This could take some time... Following a succesful make sudo make install 3. cd /usr/local/lib/wx/config/ sudo dos2unix gtk*-unicode-3.* where the wildcard * can be replaced by information specific to your version of GTK+. Build SW1 ========= Download the SW1 source (for Linux) from: http://www.sacamos.org/downloads Extract the archive into a folder within your home directory e.g. /home/[your user name]/SACAMOS_SRC Open a terminal and navigate to the SACAMOS_SRC folder, e.g: cd SACAMOS_SRC Build SW1 make -f makefile.simple Copy the SW1 binary executable to the folder [SACAMOS]/BIN e.g.: cp SW1 [SACAMOS]/BIN this will copy the SW1 executable to the SACAMOS /BIN folder (the location of the of the command line tools).
