Building OSRail under Linux with CodeBlocks

To build a CODEBLOCKS build under Linux, create a directory CODEBLOCKS in the “/branch/tag or trunk directory” and get a command prompt in the CODEBLOCKS sub-directory, type the command: “cmake -GCodeBlocks .. “. The cmake scripts will check that all 3rd party libraries are installed and build some required utilities for OSRail. The cmake script will create the workspace file OSRail.workspace.

Building OSRail under Linux with Make

To build a MAKE build under Linux, create a directory MAKE in the “/branch/tag or trunk directory” and get a command prompt in the MAKE sub-directory, type the command: “cmake .. “. The cmake scripts will check that all 3rd party libraries are installed and build some required utilities for OSRail. The cmake script will create Makefile. Run make in the MAKE sub-directory.
