Installation from source

Before you install

Install the following libraries:

• zlib, http://www.zlib.net (required)
• libbz2, http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/ (optional)
• libpng, http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html (required)
• JPEG lib, ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz (required)
• NetPBM, ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/graphics/convert/netpbm-10.11.10.tgz (optional)
• Tiff library, http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff (optional)
• dklibs libraries (version 1.20.4 or above required, 1.20.6 or above strongly recommended), http://dklibs.sourceforge.net/ (required)

On Linux distributions you can install the most of these libraries (except dklibs) using your distribution's package management. Make sure to install developer support for the libraries too, developer support contains the header files needed by the compiler.

Download bmeps

Bmeps is available at SourceForge, see http://sourceforge.net/projects/bmeps.

Unpack, compile and install bmeps

Use

gzip -dc bmeps-2.0.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -

to unpack the source archive. Change into the bmeps-2.0.0 directory and run

./configure
make
make install

to build and install the software.

Create shared libraries

Use

./configure
make -f Makefile-shared-linux
make -f Makefile-shared-linux install

to create libdkbif.so and libbmeps.so instead of libdkbif.a and libbmeps.a.

Installation package prefix

Use

./configure
make
make pp=/tmp/bmeps-files install

to create a binary which is running from /usr/local/bin but install a directory structure in /tmp/bmeps-files. This can be used to prepare a directory structure for rpm or other binary packag generation.

Installation on Windows

Windows users should download the dklibs-win32-*-*.exe executable setup file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dklibs. The dklibs-win32-*-user.exe files are for those who simply want to run the software. The The dklibs-win32-*-dev.exe files are made for developers, they are significantly larger.
The dklibs-win32-*-*.exe do not only contain the dklibs libraries but also some of my programs using these libraries. Bmeps is one of them.
