Building DSI Studio using CMake

This note is brief review of how I built DSI Studio, using CMake.

I used a Mac running MacOS 11.6.1 BigSur, but things should be similar at least for Linux flavors.

I have not tested this on any other system than my Mac so far. Your Mileage May Vary

Getting the dependent libraries.

  • Get Qt Open Source Distribution version 6.2.2 from The Qt Company and install using the GUI Installer

    On my Mac the installation left several versions on my computer in ~/Qt. To get to the right version I needed to use ~Qt/6.2.2/clang_64 as the root directory for Qt or (I will refer to it as <QT_ROOT> and ignore the other stuff there (there were also IOS and Android versions).

  • Get TIPL from The TIPL GitHub Repository -- Install this using CMake into some directory (we will call the installation directory <TIPL_ROOT>) as follows

    $ cd TIPL
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --install . --prefix <TIPL_ROOT>

Configure the CMake Build for DSI Studio

  • Set up the CMake Prefix Path (I assume we are using bash)
 export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<TIPL_ROOT>:<QT_ROOT>:<BOOST_ROOT>
  • Make a build directory parallel to the cloned Source directory
 mkdir DSI_Studio_build; cd DSI_Studio_build
  • Invoke CMake and build
  cmake ../DSI_Studio
  cmake --build . -j 4 -v

After a successful build the executable should be available in the top level of the build directory

TODO

  • Installation and packaging
  • Cross platform building (e.g. Windows, Linux, Currently hampered by my lack of access to Windows)
