Howto

This is a tutorial on how to install the various dependencies needed to work on this project.

Tools

Before starting, you will need to install the following tools :

  • build-essential (or the windows equivalent with at least a compiler and make)
  • git (You are probably reading this on github anyway...)
  • CMake
  • Doxygen

This tutorial assumes that you know how to use these tools.

Dependencies

As mentioned in the README, you will need the following libraries to build the project :

We'll go through them one by one.

### Boost

Windows 7

  • Download the last version from the boost website.
  • Unpack it.
  • With the console, move to the directory where you unpacked boost and compile/install it using b2. Don't forget to indicate the proper toolset. If you are using mingwg, you will need to type b2 toolset=gcc. The complete list of toolsets can be found here.

Note that on Windows, LibOVR is currently (2014-03-27) only suppports vc++. A thread exists on the Oculus forum if you want to build it with mingw. Otherwise, use the msvc toolset.

Ubuntu/Mint

Install with sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev.
