CIBC:Seg3D2:Linux Builds
Deprecated: applies to Seg3D 2.1.5 and earlier.
Contents
Building Seg3D2 on Linux platforms
- Qt 4.6 or better (Qt 4.7.x is recommended) is required to build Seg3D2.
- g++ <4.7 is required, as g++ 4.7 disables boost threads, thus causing compilation errors
If you are using the SDK rather than vendor packages, set QT_DIR to <qtsdk directory>/qt. You may also have to delete Qt configure variables (such as QT_BINARY_DIR, QT_HEADERS_DIR, QT_MKSPECS_DIR etc.) that were set during the first configure step when using ccmake because CMake will find Qt settings in system directories by default. Once QT_DIR is set and incorrect configure variables are deleted, configure again and verify that Qt configure variables are referencing the location where the SDK is installed.
We also strongly recommend making sure that graphics drivers are up-to-date.
Possible Qt issues on Ubuntu
Some users have had problems with the file and directory browser crashing on Ubuntu 11.x due to bugs in the Qt system libraries We will attempt to fix these problems in an upcoming release, but in the meanwhile, linking against a local static Qt build appears to work:
- Download Qt 4.7.4 from http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.4.tar.gz.
- Configure with the '-static' flag.
- Configure the build for the open source version.
- After building and installing, add the install path bin directory the PATH environment variable.
- Build Seg3D from scratch.

Deployment using CPack
Source Archive
By default, CPack creates a target for generating a source archive:
make package_source
This creates compressed archives with the naming scheme <project name>-Source.tar.<archive ext> containing all the directories and files under CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR.
Archive creation can be controlled using the following CPack options in CMake:
- CPACK_SOURCE_TBZ2
- CPACK_SOURCE_TGZ
- CPACK_SOURCE_TZ
- CPACK_SOURCE_ZIP
RPM
Turn on building RPM using CPACK_BINARY_RPM. CPack creates a target for creating a binary package:
make package
Debian Package
Turn on building Debian package using CPACK_BINARY_DEB. CPack creates a target for creating a binary package:
make package
