The configure script for this package includes code generated from Steven G. Johnson's autoconf files, acx_latex.m4 and acx_blas.m4. Distribution of this generated code is permitted under the terms of the associated license (GPLWithACException). The actual files acx_lapack.m4 and acx_blas.m4 should not be included in this distribution. If you would like access to these files, they are available from http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net.
dlrCommon dlrPortability dlrNumeric dlrLinearAlgebra lapack blas (and possibly, g2c)
In order to build the unit tests for this library, you must install the dlrTest library.
You should be able to get dlrPortability, dlrCommon, dlrLinearAlgebra, and dlrTest from the same place you got this library. Lapack and blas are included with most linux distributions and other unix-ish operating systems, such as OS X. Most linux distributions also include optimized versions of lapack and blas named atlas or atlas3. You can use these instead of the reference versions for higher performance. Non-free versions of lapack and blas which are optimized for intel CPUs are available for various platforms from http://www.intel.com. You may be able to find pre-built lapack binaries for your architecture at http://www.netlib.org/lapack/archives/. Libg2c is included as part of the gnu compiler collection. Depending on your OS distribution, it may be prepackaged for you, in its own package, or bundled with g77.
./visualc/dlrComputerVision.sln
Building this file will put libraries in
"C:\Program Files\dlr_libs\{Release,Debug}"
and put include files in
"C:\Program Files\dlr_libs\include"
You can override these default installation locations from within visual studio. Note that if you do so, you may also have to update the build files for other libraries in the dlr_libs suite so that they know where to find the installed files from this library.
NOTE: Microsoft's compiler considers much of the C++ Standard Library to be deprecated. Building this code under recent versions of VC++ generates lots of warnings telling you to use the use the confusingly named "Safe Standard C++ Library," which isn't standard at all, and as far as I know isn't portable to any other platforms. It's possible to disable these warnings. I encourage you to do so by adding "/D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" and "/D_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE" to the compiler command line via the "properties" dialog for the .vcproj file within Visual Studio. I've done this for the .vcproj files included with dlr_libs, but you may find these warnings popping up in your own code when you include dlr_libs header files. Don't be fooled.
Please be aware that I hardly ever use windows, so the .sln/.vcproj files are usually a little out of date. I occasionally check that friends who use these libraries under windows are still happy, but I don't get patches too often. Let me know if you have any trouble, and please feel free to email with updates. Also note that the .vcproj files are all configured to build multi-threaded code. This may cause some trouble if you're linking with projects that use single threaded code. See the code generation page of the project properties dialog to change this.
> tar -xvf dlrcomputervision-x.y.z.tar.gz > cd dlrcomputervision-x.y.z > ./configure > make > make install
If you're using the source files from subversion, you need to add a step:
> [get source from svn]
> ./bootstrap
> ./configure
> make
> make install
Of course, you may want to specify an installation directory:
> [get source from cvs and run ./bootstrap, or unpack tarball]
> ./configure --prefix=/home/jfisher/software
> make
> make install
Or some compiler options:
> [get source from cvs and run ./bootstrap, or unpack tarball] > env CXXFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure \ --prefix=/home/jfisher/software > make > make install
For more information on configure options:
> ./configure --help
