Sendero Server is the main component of Sendero, developed in C++ with OpenFrameworks. It is in charge of blending and distributing the lighting patterns (generated by Sendero Clients) that feed the artwork.
OpenFrameworks is a cross-platform tool, but (for now) Sendero Server has only been compiled in Linux.
Ubuntu
-
Download, unpack and install dependecies of OpenFrameworks 0.9.3 through the
<OF_dir>/scripts/linux/ubuntu/install_dependencies.shscript of the framework.If the
gcc >= 5.0.0(default in latest Ubuntu versions) is installed, make sure you access to recompile Poco libraries when theinstall_dependencies.shasks to. -
Install other needed libraries:
sudo apt-get install opencl-headers liblz4-dev liblapack-dev liblas-dev
-
Install the following OF addons:
-
Clone this repository in
<OF_dir>/apps/myApps/OF subfolder. -
Compile the project running
make Debug. -
To run Sendero Server execute
make RunDebug.
Sendero Server's configurations are made in bin/data/serverConf.xml file. The following commented xml file is a fragment of a working Sendero configuration. The entire file can be found in bin/data/serverConf.xml.
