Building And Deploying %AtCore

Building %AtCore is broken up into to main steps Configuration and Building. Deploying %AtCore is also covered here.

Configuration

In order to configure your build you will need cmake and extra-cmake-modules.

%AtCore Build Options Are:

  • -DBUILD_GUI = ( ON | OFF ) Build the test client (Default is OFF)
  • -DBUILD_DOCS = (ON | OFF ) Build the Documentation (Default is OFF)
  • -DBUILD_TESTS = ( ON | OFF ) Build and Run Unittests (Default is OFF)
  • -DDEPLOY_PLUGINS_WITH_BINARY ( ON | OFF ) Deploy the plugins to bin/plugins (Default is OFF, Turn on for win/mac)

Recommended CMake Command

Linux

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib CMakeLists.txt

Mac OS/ Windows

cmake -DDEPLOY_PLUGINS_WITH_BINARY=ON CMakeLists.txt

Building

After Configuring you Should be able to run make to build all targets.

make

Dependencies

In addition to a working development enviroment for your system you will need the following to build %AtCore

  • qt5-base
  • qt5-serialport
  • qt5-widgets
  • qt5-charts

Building The Documentation adds the following dependency:

Installing Dependencies on Windows and Mac OS

Mac Os

Mac Os users could use homebrew to install both cmake and cmake-extra-modules using.

brew update
brew install cmake
brew tap KDE-mac/kde;
brew install kf5-extra-cmake-modules

Then can download and install Qt

Windows

Windows users could install chocolatey and do something like

choco install cmake
choco install ninja
git clone -q git://anongit.kde.org/extra-cmake-modules.git
cd extra-cmake-modules
cmake -G "Ninja" . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= <CMAKE_INSTALL_ROOT>
ninja install

Then Download and install Qt

Deploying %AtCore

After you build you may wish to deploy atcore on your system for use

Linux

From the build dir the command below to install atcore with its plugins to the system (assuming cmake used above)

sudo make install

Finding Plugins

AtCore will check each directory below for plugins.

1. QApplication::applicationDirPath/plugins
2. QApplication::applicationDirPath/AtCore
3. QApplication::applicationDirPath/../PlugIns/AtCore
4. INSTALL_PREFIX/KDE_PLUGIN_DIR/AtCore
5. QT_Plugin_Path/AtCore
6. KDE_PLUGIN_DIR/AtCore
7. BUILDDIR for plugins.

For Locations starting with 'QApplication::applicationDirPath' atcore will look next to the binary using atcore. Usually this is in a directory next to the program

atcore_test_GUI\atcore-gui.exe
atcore_test_GUI\AtCore.dll
atcore_test_GUI\plugins\repetier.dll

But on Mac OS this is in the app bundle

atcore-gui.app/Contents/MacOS/atcore-gui
atcore-gui.app/Contents/MacOS/AtCore.dylib
atcore-gui.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/repetier.dylib
