cangaroo

open source can bus analyzer

written by Hubert Denkmair hubert@denkmair.de

building on linux

  • to install all required packages in a vanilla ubuntu 16.04:
    • sudo apt-get install build-essential git qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev libnl-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev
  • build with:
    • qmake -qt=qt5
    • make
    • make install

building on windows

  • Qt Creator (Community Version is okay) brings everything you need
  • except for the PCAN libraries.
    • Get them from http://www.peak-system.com/fileadmin/media/files/pcan-basic.zip
    • Extract to .zip to src/driver/PeakCanDriver/pcan-basic-api
    • Make sure PCANBasic.dll (the one from pcan-basic-api/Win32 on a "normal" 32bit Windows build) is found when running cangaroo, e.g. by putting it in the same folder as the .exe file.
  • if you don't want Peak support, you can just disable the driver: remove the line "win32:include($$PWD/driver/PeakCanDriver/PeakCanDriver.pri)" from src/src.pro
  • if you want to deploy the cangaroo app, make sure to also include the needed Qt Libraries. for a normal release build, these are: Qt5Core.dll Qt5Gui.dll Qt5Widgets.dll Qt5Xml.dll
