Build Linux

Last Updated on January 20, 2020

Please read the general build guide for information on dependencies required for all platforms. Only Linux specific instructions are found in this file.

Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 specific build guide

Ubuntu 16.04 only

Add the following line to .bash_profile
export QT_QPA_FONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/

Ubuntu 18.04 server only

Add the universe repository:
(This is not enabled by default on the server edition)

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update

Install build tools:

  • First update the repositories:
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
  • git
sudo apt-get install git -y

Verify by git --version

  • g++
sudo apt-get install g++ -y

Verify by g++ --version

  • Ubuntu 18.04 cmake
sudo apt-get install cmake -y

Verify by cmake --version

  • Ubuntu 16.04 cmake
wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.14/cmake-3.14.2-Linux-x86_64.sh
sudo sh cmake-3.14.2-Linux-x86_64.sh --prefix=/usr/local --exclude-subdir

Install build dependencies:

  • OpenSSL:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Verify with openssl version

  • OpenGL:
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev -y
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.346.35 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0
  • Verify OpenGL:
    • First install mesa-utils with the command sudo apt install mesa-utils -y
    • Then run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"

To compile interface in a server you must install:

sudo apt-get -y install libpulse0 libnss3 libnspr4 libfontconfig1 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libxtst6 libxslt1.1
  • Misc dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libasound2 libxmu-dev libxi-dev freeglut3-dev libasound2-dev libjack0 libjack-dev libxrandr-dev libudev-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
  • Install Python 3 and required packages:
sudo apt-get install python python3 python3-distro
  • Install node, required to build the jsdoc documentation:
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Get code and checkout the branch you need

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena.git

To compile a DEV version checkout the branch you need. To get a list of all tags:

git fetch -a

Then checkout the main branch with:

git checkout kasen/core

Compiling

Create the build directory:

cd project-athena
mkdir build
cd build

Prepare makefiles:

cmake ..
  • If cmake fails with a vcpkg error - delete /tmp/hifi/vcpkg.

Start compilation of the server and get a cup of coffee:

make domain-server assignment-client

To compile interface:

make interface

The commands above will compile with a single thread. If you have enough memory, you can decrease your build time using the -j flag. Since most x64 CPUs support two threads per core, this works out to CPU_COUNT*2. As an example, if you have a 2 core machine, you could use:

make -j4 interface

In a server, it does not make sense to compile interface.

Running the software

Domain server

Running domain server:

./domain-server/domain-server

Assignment clients

Running assignment client:

./assignment-client/assignment-client -n 6

Interface

Running interface:

./interface/interface

Go to localhost in the running interface.

Notes

If your goal is to set up a development environment, it is desirable to set the directory that vcpkg builds into with the HIFI_VCPKG_BASE environment variable. For example, you might set HIFI_VCPKG_BASE to /home/$USER/vcpkg. By default, vcpkg will build in the system /tmp directory.

Ubuntu 18.04 only

In Ubuntu 18.04 there is a problem related with NVidia driver library version.

It can be worked around following these steps:

  1. Uninstall incompatible nvtt libraries:
    sudo apt-get remove libnvtt2 libnvtt-dev

  2. Install libssl1.0-dev:
    sudo apt-get -y install libssl1.0-dev

  3. Clone castano nvidia-texture-tools:
    git clone https://github.com/castano/nvidia-texture-tools
    cd nvidia-texture-tools/

  4. Make these changes in repo:

  • In file VERSION set 2.2.1
  • In file configure:
    • set build="release"
    • set -DNVTT_SHARED=1

  1. Configure, build and install:
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

  2. Link compiled files:
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnvcore.so /usr/lib/libnvcore.so
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnvimage.so /usr/lib/libnvimage.so
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnvmath.so /usr/lib/libnvmath.so
    sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libnvtt.so /usr/lib/libnvtt.so

  3. After running these steps you can run interface:
    interface/interface
