3.5.1 Build examples
To build the examples requires CMake version > v3.14 and a build environment. The steps to build the
examples are the same for both
Windows
and
Linux
:
1) Open the CMake GUI and select the examples root directory as the source folder of your project.
(
“Where is the source code”)
2) Next select a directory where to generate the project files, should be somewhere outside the
source tree.
(
“Where to build the binaries”)
3) Press the
“Configure” button. After the first configuration it is required to manually set the path
to the CSGenICam CMake configuration files:
4) Press
“Configure” again and “Generate” afterwards. The project is now configured and can be
opened and built from the directory selected in
“Where to build the binaries”.
