Note
This directory is only used for the files that are
run time
required.
The files required at compile time are always installed in "$HOME/mvimpact-acquire-n.n.n" . The script
also creates a convenient softlink to this directory:
mvimpact-acquire -> mvIMPACT_acquire-1.12.45
If this argument is not specified, or is "." , the driver will be placed in the current working directory.
The version argument is entirely optional. If no version is specified, the most recent mvBlueFOX-x86_AB
←
-
I2-n.n.n.tgz found in the current directory will be installed.
You can now start wxPropView (p. 77), after installing the hardware (p. 39) like
wxPropView
because the installer script added the needed symbolic links.
Note
If you want to install the mvBlueFOX Linux driver without installer script manually, please have a look at the
following chapter:
7.2.2.1 Installing the mvIMPACT Acquire driver manually
Note
We recommend to use the installer script to install the mvBlueFOX driver (p. 33).
The mvBlueFOX is controlled by a number of user-space libraries. It is not necessary to compile kernel modules for
the mvBlueFOX.
1. Logon to the PC as the "root" user or start a super user session with "su" . Start a console with "root"
privileges.
2. Determine which package you need by issuing the following command in a terminal window:
gcc -v
This will display a lot of information about the GNU gcc compiler being used on your system. In case of the
version number you have to do following:
