Get and build source code

Prerequisites

only needed if the WITH_GUI option is enabled (disabled by default)

only needed if either the WITH_HDF5 option or any HDF5-based I/O plugin are enabled (disabled by default)

CMake 3.* installed on your system
you have read and accepted the terms and conditions stated in our LICENSE, in particular for what concerns the publications you should cite in your papers

Clone the repository from the git shell to your designated <source> folder

$ git clone https://github.com/abria/TeraStitcher

or, alternatively, download the TAR ball or ZIP file and extract it to your designated <source> folder
Launch CMake and set the source code directory to the <source> folder created in Step 1. Then, set your <build> folder where you want to place your C++ project and binaries (choose a folder different from <source>)
Press "Configure" button and choose your desired project output (e.g. Unix Makefile, Visual Studio solution, Eclipse project) from the list.

For Visual Studio projects, please choose a "Win64"-labeled entry to enable 64-bit compilation.

Press "Finish" button and CMake will check your configuration before your can generate the output project. Then, your screen should look like this (click to enlarge):

From this screen, you can
- include/discard I/O plugins (which are automatically discovered from the <source>/iomanager/plugins folder)
- include/discard utilities (which are automatically discovered from the <source>/utils folder)
- include/exclude support to HDF5 using the WITH_HDF5 option
- include/exclude the Qt-based Graphical User Interface using the WITH_GUI option
Press "Generate" button and CMake will create your output C++ project in your <build> folder.
Build your generated project using your IDE (or MakeFile). Binaries will be generated in the <build>/bin folder.
