Ubuntu

Ubuntu 15.04+

Install prerequisites

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libassimp-dev qtbase5-dev

Download and build Sceneview

git clone https://github.com/ashuang/sceneview
cd sceneview
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Install prerequisites. The version of Qt 5 shipped with stock Ubuntu 14.04 is too old, so you need to install an newer version from elsewhere. The way we recommend is:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt55-trusty
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt-latest

Install the other dependencies and build tools

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libassimp-dev libgl1-mesa-dev

Download and build Sceneview. You'll need to point CMake to the nonstandard install location for Qt5 in /opt.

git clone https://github.com/ashuang/sceneview
cd sceneview
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt55 ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

OS/X (via Homebrew)

Install prerequisites

brew install qt5 assimp cmake

Does anyone know how to automatically point CMake to the qt5 install location?

Otherwise:

git clone https://github.com/ashuang/sceneview
cd sceneview
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.5.1 ..
make
make install

If you have a version of Qt5 other than 5.5.1, then replace the version number as appropriate.

Compiling and linking against Sceneview

Sceneview provides a pkg-config file. You can obtain the required compiler flags by running:

``` pkg-config –cflags sceneview ```

The linker flags can be obtained by: ``` pkg-config –libs sceneview ```

Including header files

The easiest way include all the right header files for Sceneview is to include the master header file:

``` #include <sceneview/sceneview.hpp> ```

If you want to slightly optimize compile times, you can optionally include only the header files you need. The class documentation indicates what headers to include for each Sceneview class.
