Make directory: navitrack

  • Create this directory anywhere you want on your machine
  • This directory will be the root directory for your NaviTrack

Download NaviTrack source code

  • Change directory to navitrack you just created
  • Run the following command to check out NaviTrack source tree:
svn co --username ivs --password ivs https://ariser.uio.no/svn/navitrack/branches/nt-brp NaviTrack 

Configure NaviTrack for compiling

  • In the directory navitrack, create a new directory NaviTrack-build. Now navitrack has two sub-directories: NaviTrack and NaviTrack-build
  • Change directory to NaviTrack-build
  • Run this command to configure NaviTrack:
cmake ../NaviTrack
(Note: Make sure you have CMake 2.4 or later installed on your system. If you don't, here is the website to get it:

Build NaviTrack

  • To compile NaviTrack, in the same directory, e.g. NaviTrack-build, run:
make

Windows Notes

Prerequisite software

You need to get the following packages prior to compiling NaviTrack. While still experimental, it should work on a properly configured windows environment. Current requirements are:

  • Developer studio 8 Visual C++ Express which is free from Microsoft - be sure to install the Platform SDK and follow the ridiculous manual steps to set up the paths (see below).
    • Other releases of visual studio also work (7 and 7.1)
  • Cygwin with the following packages
    • svn

Information on Free Microsoft C++ Compiler on Windows

Be sure to follow all the steps on Microsoft link. Yes it means you need to download the compiler and sdk.
