This is the main documentation page for the VISR project.

Project Status

The project supports three platforms

Version Control

A GIT repository http://git-scm.com/ is set up to host the project project.
For an introduction to git, see the GIT book http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
At the moment, the GIT server location is ssh.soton.ac.uk/home/af5u13/repos/visr#
As soon as the S3A storage space becomes available, the master reposiutory will be moved to this location (also on ssh.soton.ac.uk, enabling access to all team members.

For detailed instructions for setting up the development machines see Build Instructions.
The project is built using the platform-independent build sytem CMake http://www.cmake.org/
In most cases, it is preferable to use the graphical user interface cmake-gui:
- Create a separate build directory (within or outside your working copy)
- Specify both the root of your working copy and the build directory.
- Run "Configure"
- After that, you are able to change the variables (e.g., enabling or disabling options in the group "BUILD".
- Rerun "Configure"
- Run "Generate" to generate build files for the target platform.
After that, the project can be built using the native build system for the platform, i.e.,
- GNU make on Linux
- Makefiles for Eclipse projetcs if Eclipse is used as IDE
- Visual Studio projects/solutions on Windows
- XCode projects on MacOS
