1.8 Quickstart 27
1.8.2.3 Linux
The following (additional) packages will be needed to use all features of mvIMPACT Acquire:
• libwxbase3.0-0v5
• libwxbase3.0-dev
• libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
• libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
• libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-0v5
• libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev
• wx3.0-headers
• build-essential (meta package)
• libgtk2.0-dev
• gcc 4.8.5 (4.9.4 for ARM versions) environment or newer
Note
The names of the packages as mentioned above are the Ubuntu specific ones. Other distributions (e.g.
Debian, Arch, Redhat, ...) might use different names.
The installation script will ask if the packages should be downloaded during the installation process. If some of
the packages are not installed some features might not be available. If the e.g. wxWidgets related packages are
missing on the target system then all GUI application coming as part of the mvIMPACT Acquire installation won't be
available.
To use a (camera) device in Linux (capture images from it and change its settings), a driver is needed, consisting of
several libraries and several configuration files. These files are required during run time.
To develop applications that can use the device an API is needed, containing header files, makefiles, samples, and
a few libraries. These files are required at compile time.
Both file collections are distributed in a single package which is available in the Support section of the MATRIX
VISION website. In addition to that an installation script is provided which can be downloaded from the same
location. Using this script makes installing the driver package a lot easier.
Note
The following table shows the supported platforms and the corresponding package and installation script
name:
Architecture Package Installation Script
ARM64 mvGenTL_Acquire-ARM64_gnu-n.n.n.tgz install_mvGenTL_Acquire_ARM.sh
x86_64 mvGenTL_Acquire-x86_64_ABI2-n.n.n.tgz install_mvGenTL_Acquire.sh
The following example explains the installation process for the x86_64 package. The installation process for
other packages will work almost identical except different names as mentioned in the previous table.
• Please start a console and change into the directory where the installation script and the installation package
are located e.g.
/home/username/Downloads
:
cd /home/username/Downloads
