Version Requirements

Following are the minimum required versions for the tools and libraries you need for building Breadboard for Linux:

cmake: 2.8.12 or newer
Python: 2.7.x

Prior to building, install the following components using the Linux distribution's package manager:

cmake: You can also manually install from cmake.org.
Python: 2.7.x

For example, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install cmake python

Building

When building Breadboard, you can either build the library as part of another project, or you can build it as a stand-alone library. To simply build the library (and the sample project) do the following:

Generate makefiles from the cmake project in the breadboard directory.
Execute make to build the library and sample.

For example:

cd breadboard
cmake -G'Unix Makefiles' .
make

To build Breadboard from another project, add the following to your project's CMakeLists.txt:

add_subdirectory("${path_to_breadboard}" breadboard)
include_directories(${path_to_breadboard}/include)

Additionally, if you are making use of the module_library packaged with Breadboard, you will need to include additional directories, both the module_library's include folder as well as the generated include folder if you are making use of the Flatbuffer-based GraphFactory.

include_directories(${path_to_breadboard}/module_library/include)
get_property(BREADBOARD_MODULE_LIBRARY_FLATBUFFERS_GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR
             TARGET breadboard_module_library_generated_includes
             PROPERTY GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR)
include_directories(${BREADBOARD_MODULE_LIBRARY_FLATBUFFERS_GENERATED_INCLUDES_DIR})

Additionally, ensure that you are linking the library and it's dependencies when running target_link_libraries:

target_link_libraries(breadboard)
