Table of Contents

Here you may find the instructions to install the library on your environment.

Linux

The library is distributed as libCAENMCA.so.

Requirements

Supported architectures:

  • x86
  • x86-64
  • armhf (gnueabihf)

Compiler:

  • gcc or clang (any version supporting C99)

Additional libraries required:

  • libxml2 (version >= 2.6)
  • libgssdp-1.0 (version >= 0.2)

To install the dependencies on the main Linux distributions:

Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives:

$ sudo apt install gcc make pkg-config
$ sudo apt install libxml2-dev libgssdp-1.0-dev

RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/SL and derivatives:

$ sudo yum install gcc make pkgconf-pkg-config
$ sudo yum install libxml2-devel gssdp-devel

Arch/Manjaro and derivatives:

$ sudo pacman -S gcc make pkgconf
$ sudo pacman -S libxml2 gssdp

Install

When all the dependencies are satisfied, extract the source code from the compressed archive, enter the source folder (libcaenmca-X.Y.Z), and there compile the library executing the usual commands:

$ tar xfvz libcaenmca-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
$ cd libcaenmca-X.Y.Z
$ ./configure [--prefix=<installdir>]
$ make
$ sudo make install
Note
If not set, the default <installdir> is set to /usr.

This will install both library and headers in the system folders.

The library is distributed as CAENMCA.dll (and the import library CAENMCA.lib).

Requirements

Supported architectures:

  • x86
  • x64

Minimum platform toolset: Visual Studio 2015 (14.0).

The library requires libxml2, that is included in the installer. No additional library is required.
