MacOSX Build

ossimPlanet is being initially developed on the OSX platform with the XCode developer tools.

Binary Installer

The easiest way to get up and running is to install the latest binary installer. During initial development, a fairly recent version of the software will be available at ​http://download.osgeo.org/ossim/installers/mac/ Look for and download the dmg file which will should mount after download. Double click the package installer and the libararies and frameworks will be installed in standard locations:

1. Open up a terminal

2. Make a development directory in /Users/Shared/

mkdir /Users/Shared/Development/

3. Change the directory to /Users/Shared/Development/
cd /Users/Shared/Development/

4. Check out all of the OSSIM modules using SVN

svn co http://svn.osgeo.org/ossim/trunk . (note the trailing dot)

5. Download the OSSIM Dependencies
http://ossim.telascience.org/ossimdata/MacOSX/ossim_dependencies.tgz (click the link to download)

6. Move the ossim_dependencies.tgz to /Users/Shared/Development/
mv /users/davidlucas/Downloads/ossim_dependencies.tar /Users/Shared/Development/

7. Extract the ossim_dependencies.tgz using tar
tar -xvf ossim_dependencies.tar

8. Remove the ossim_dependencies.tgz (optional)
rm ossim_dependencies.tgz

9. Xcode Build Instructions

Select Run Menu / Run

Problems with the Build?

• Make sure you have downloaded the latest ossim_dependencies. The folder should be placed at /Users/Shared/Development/ossim_dependencies .

• Set the Configuration in xcode to the Release build

• Do a clean all under build with the ossim project

• open a terminal and rm -rf /var/tmp/ (forces rebuild of all of the qt gui widgets)

• under xcode make sure the project is ossim, the target is All, the configuration is Release, Active executable ossimplanet

Package Building

Here are some quick notes on building and packaging. After building the All target, select the build_package_dir target and build. This target creates a package directory in the xcode build directory. Applications, tools, frameworks, support files and dependencies are then staged into the package directory.

Next, in the Developer/Applications/Utilities folder open up PackageMaker and open the ossim package maker file that is located in the ossim_package_support directory. Note that the ossim_package_support directory is available as a module checkout at www.remotesensing.org:/cvs. It contains geoids and initial reference images for the packaging. Once you have opened the ossim packagemaker file, select build and an installer package will be generated. Optionally, you can use a utility such as DropDMG to create a dmg disk image for distribution. This is a universal installer for ossim applications and frameworks.
