__TOC__


== Intro ==
'''Users of recent Debian/Ubuntu distributions are advised to use the binary packages as described in [[Installation/Linux]].'''


The goal of this page is to clarify about which version of each piece of software has to be compiled, where to find that software, patches needed to make it compile on Linux 64Bit. This includes compiling all paparazzi-dev, paparazzi-arm7 and paparazzi-bin software on a 64Bit machine, running an Ubuntu Lucid Lynx or later Linux distribution or maybe even OSX. The Text below has it's origins from http://paparazzi.enac.fr/w/index.php?title=User:Roirodriguez and the OpenUAS internal Wiki.
<span style="color:#FF0000">'''WARNING! Only use if you are proficient in working with Linux!'''</span>


Sometimes you see 'QUESTION:' at the beginning of the lines that represent questions still open, patches unsure to be accurate, etc. This way everyone can improve the page a little easier.
== Intro ==
 
== Paparazzi-dev packages ==


For Ubuntu users, you can install the following packages from standard repository:
Users of other Linux flavors or anyone needing manual control of each individual package can install them independently. <br/>
The list of dependencies of the Debian package is located in the [https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi-portability-support/blob/master/debian/paparazzi-dev/debian/control <tt>debian/control</tt>] file and may help users of other distributions.


=== Ocaml and libraries ===
Some corresponding source tarballs can be downloaded from [https://launchpad.net/~paparazzi-uav/+archive/ppa/+packages paparazzi-uav ppa] on launchpad. (maybe building the packages from source is more reliable in view of dependencies)


Ocaml, short for Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language. The Paparazzi GCS and some of it's tools are crafted in this language.
For distributions using RPM packaging, the [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/alien alien] tool can be used to convert a .deb package into a .rpm package.


* ocaml, ocaml-camlimages-devel, ocaml-lablgtk2-devel, ocaml-xml-light-devel
As with all Wiki pages, also this page is a work in progress. Try to be a big help to the Paparazzi project and improve this page whenever you can. If you have a distribution different from Ubuntu which doesn't satisfy any other dependency and have instructions about compiling it, packaging it, feel free to add any reference on how to do that on this wikipage.


$ sudo aptitude install ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml lablgtk2-ocaml libxml-light-ocaml
== Goal ==


=== Boa ===
The goal of this page is to clarify about which version of each piece of software has to be compiled, where to find that software, patches needed to make it compile on Linux, maybe even FreeBSD or OSX.


Lightweight and high performance web server, a single-tasking HTTP server.
== Fedora 19  ==


$ sudo aptitude install boa
To build paparazzi-uav on Fedora 19, you must install the next packages from the official repository:
* ocaml
* ocaml-findlib
* ocaml-xml-light
* ocaml-ocamlnet
* ocaml-lablgtk-devel
* libxml2-devel
* SDL-devel
* libusb-devel


=== Gnome canvas Library ===
Paparazzi-uav needs to include some ocaml headers when it compiles the simulator, then please be sure that they are included. If not, edit sw/simulator/Makefile and add:


The GnomeCanvas is an engine for structured graphics that offers a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful, high level API. This widget can be used for flexible display of graphics and for creating interactive user interface elements.
  CAML_CFLAGS = -I/usr/lib64/ocaml


$ sudo aptitude install libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev
The following packages must be built from source code (they are not included in the official repository):
* ivy-c
* ivy-ocaml


=== USB Library ===
Paparazzi-uav was successfully compiled using ivy-c 3.14 and ivy-ocaml 1.2. Please note that the ivy-c version is an unstable version!


The libusb project aims to create a library for use by user level applications to access USB devices regardless of OS. http://www.libusb.org
Additionally, you need install the next RPMs to build ivy-c:
* pcre-devel
* libXt-devel
* tcl-devel
* glib2-devel


$ sudo aptitude install libusb-dev
Don't forget to set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG before building ivy-ocaml, e.g:


=== Ocaml PCRE ===
  $ export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig


This OCaml-library interfaces the PCRE (Perl-compatibility regular expressions) C library. it can be used for matching regular expressions which are written in Perl style.
== Fedora 24  ==
NOTE: Built upon Fedora 19 instruction, unnecessary instructions may occour.


$ sudo aptitude install libpcre-ocaml libpcre-ocaml-dev
1. Install dependencies:
  $ sudo dnf install ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-xml-light ocaml-ocamlnet ocaml-lablgtk-devel ocaml-camlp4-devel libxml2-devel SDL-devel libusb-devel pcre-devel libXt-devel tcl-devel tk-devel glib2-devel gsl-devel


=== Glade Library ===
2. Edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable in your ~/.bashrc file to accomondate /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (default for ivy libs)


Libglade is a library that performs a similar job to the C source output routines in the GLADE user interface builder. Whereas GLADE's output routines create C source code that must be compiled, libglade builds the interface from an XML file (GLADE's save format) at runtime. This can allow modifying the user interface without recompiling.
3. Edit all the ivy specific .pc files in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, changing line 3 from "libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib" to "libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib64"


$ sudo aptitude install libglade2-0 libglade2-dev
4. Install ivy-python via pip and compile and istall ivy-c and ivy-ocaml from source as shown [[Installation/FromScratch#IVY]]


=== Make ===
Note: dependencies for compiling ivy-c and ivy-ocaml are already covered above (except toolchain!).


GNU Make is an utility which controls the generation of executables and other target files of a program from the program's source files.
5. Compile and install [[JSBSim|JSBsim from source]]


$ sudo aptitude install make
Hacks: Link libivy and libJSBsim after compiling
  $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/lib
  $ sudo ln -s /opt/jsbsim/lib/libJSBSim.so.0 /usr/lib
  $ sudo ldconfig


=== Build essential ===
== Arch Linux ==


$ sudo aptitude install build-essential
This is a dirty hacked together (not really according to "the Arch Way") install, but works on a fresh installed Archbang GNU/Linux.


=== Subversion Client ===
'''NOTE: following issues '''
# Only written and tested for Archbang and Manjaro, not tested on vanilla Arch Linux yet.
# It seems that the error "unbound module GnoCanvas" can be resolved by installing lablgtk2 via yaourt first and then conf-gnomecanvas over opam.
# No symlink from liblglibivy.so.3 and liblglibivy.so.3 to libglibivy.so.3.15, so can't find these files.
# If pkg-config can't find some .pc files, a pkg-config path might not be set and exported properly. Use "pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config" to check if the path containing the ''ivy-c.pc'', ''ivy-glib.pc'' and ''ivy-tcl.pc'' files is found.
# "ocamlfind: Package `netclient' not found" -> seems that the opam packages need to be installed in a specific order... (try ocamlnet first, then lablgtk.2.16)


Subversion, also known as SVN, is a version control system. Version control systems allow many individuals to collaborate on the paparazzi source code. This is needed to retrieve the latest sourcecode from various packages and Paparazzi sourcecode itself.

=== Newlib ===
IVY is a simple protocol and a set of open-source libraries and programs that allows applications to broadcast information through text messages, with a subscription mechanism based on regular expressions. The project can be found at: https://ivybus.gitlab.io/ 


Newlib is a C library intended for use on embedded systems. It is a conglomeration of several library parts, all under free software licenses that make them easily usable on embedded products.
In the paparazzi project, Ivy is used to send telemetry data to where ever you want.


== Start with the rest ==
NOTE: Do not confuse this IVY with the Apache Ivy project.  
 
To install the rest we make a special directory "develop". You can give it another name ofcourse.
 
$ mkdir ~/develop


=== Ivy-python ===


== LPC21ISP ==
The ivy-python package makes it possible to use the IVY libraries from within the Python programming language. The ivy-python package is architecture independent, so it can be downloaded from the Ubuntu or Debian paparazzi repository.


LPC21ISP is an in-circuit programming (ISP) tool for the microcontroller used on the Paparazzi autopilot boards. The lpc21isp project is hosted on sourceforge and one can find the source packages at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpc21isp/  
The easiest way to instally it on non Debian based systems is using [https://pip.pypa.io/ pip] to install the [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ivy-python ivy-python package] from [https://pypi.python.org/pypi PyPi - the Python Package Index].
pip install ivy-python


Get the SVN version via
Or install from the source repository via  
   
   
  $ mkdir ~/develop/lpc21isp
  git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-python.git
  $ cd ~/develop/lpc21isp
  cd ivy-python
  $ svn co https://lpc21isp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lpc21isp lpc21
  ./setup.py install


To compile go into the source directory and then do
=== Ivy-c ===


$ cd lpc21
To be able to use ivy-c, the libraries need to be installed.
$ make -f Makefile clean all


To install
Required packages (Debian based):
* tk-dev
* libpcre3-dev
* libxt-dev
* pkg-config
* libglib2.0-dev


$ sudo cp lpc21isp /usr/bin/
Download source, compile and install libraries:


== IVY ==
  # mkdir -p /opt/ivy-c
# cd /opt/ivy-c
# git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-c.git
# cd /opt/ivy-c/trunk/src
# make
# make install


IVY is a simple protocol and a set of open-source libraries and programs that allows applications to broadcast information through text messages, with a subscription mechanism based on regular expressions. The project can be found at: http://www2.tls.cena.fr/products/ivy/ 
It is possible you get errors of the test module when compiling, just ignore the messages, it is not important for the Paparazzi project. Contact the IVY team to help them also to resolve also the testing makefile issue.


In the paparazzi project, Ivy is used to send telemetry data to where ever you want.
==== troubleshooting ====


NOTE: Do not confuse this IVY with the Apache Ivy project.  
Error message:
gcc -c -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -fPIC -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -DTCL_CHANNEL_INTEGRATION  ivytcl.c
ivytcl.c:28:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory


=== Ivy-python ===
The Makefile cannot read the tcl-dev version you have installed and assumes that version 8.4 is installed, but can't find the appropriate folder.<br/>
Edit the line 57 of the Makefile from TCLVERS=8.4 according to your installed version, or just delete the 8.4, both work.


The ivy-python package makes it possible to use the IVY libraries from within the Python programming language. The ivy-python package is architecture independent, so it can be downloaded from the Ubuntu or Debian paparazzi repository. However since this is the from scratch page we will to download it from the official source repository via
$ mkdir ~/develop
$ mkdir ~/develop/ivy-python/
$ cd ~/develop/ivy-python/
$ svn co http://svn.tls.cena.fr/svn/ivy/ivy-python/trunk


Now we can build and install
Can't find 64bit libs:
Your ivy libs were probably installed to /usr/local/lib64 and you have to make symbolic links so that they will be found:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/lib
or
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/local/lib


$ cd ~/develop/ivy-python/trunk
$ sudo ./setup.py install


=== Ivy-c ===
=== Ivy-OCaml ===


To be able to use IVY-c, the libraries need to be installed. Source packages of ivy-c can be downloaded via:
ivy-ocaml provides OCaml bindings for ivy-c and is needed for most of the ground segment agents that are written in OCaml like [[Server]] and [[GCS]].


$ mkdir ~/develop/ivy-c
Download source, compile and install libraries:
$ cd ~/develop/ivy-c
$ svn co http://svn.tls.cena.fr/svn/ivy/ivy-c/trunk


To compile
# mkdir -p /opt/ivy-ocaml
# cd /opt/ivy-ocaml
# git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-ocaml.git
# cd /opt/ivy-ocaml/trunk
# make
# make install


$ cd ~/develop/ivy-c/trunk/src
==== ivy-ocaml via OPAM ====
$ make
Or use OPAM: While the source repository and debian package is named ''ivy-ocaml'', in OPAM it is only named ''ivy'' (since it is obviously for OCaml).


It is possible you get errors of the test module when compiling, just ignore the messages, it is not important for the Paparazzi project. Contact the IVY team to help them also to resolve also the testing makefile issue.
$ opam update
$ opam install ivy


Now install the compiled libraries
== LPC21ISP ==


$ sudo make install
lpc21isp is only needed to serially flash the LPC2148 based autopilots (e.g. [[Lpc21BootloaderUpload bootloader]] for tiny, twog, umarim). LPC21ISP is an in-circuit programming (ISP) tool for the microcontroller used on the Paparazzi autopilot boards. The lpc21isp project is hosted on sourceforge and one can find the source packages and information at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpc21isp/


=== Ivy-OCAML ===
Get the SVN version via
$ mkdir -p /opt/lpc21isp
$ cd /opt/lpc21isp
$ svn co https://lpc21isp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lpc21isp lpc21


The Ivy-ocaml is a Library that make it possible to use Ivy via de Ocaml language.
To compile go into the source directory and then do


$ mkdir ~/develop
  $ cd lpc21
$ mkdir ~/develop/ivy-ocaml
  $ make -f Makefile clean all
  $ cd ~/develop/ivy-ocaml/
  $ svn co http://svn.tls.cena.fr/svn/ivy/ivy-ocaml/trunk


NOTE: If the above SVN repository does not work due ti API incompatibilities get the ivy-ocaml source via
To install


  $ wget http://paparazzi.enac.fr/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/ivy-ocaml_1.1-10.tar.gz
  $ exportline="PATH=$PATH:/opt/lpc21isp"
$ if grep -Fxq "$exportline" ~/.profile; then echo nothing to do ; else echo $exportline >> ~/.profile; fi
$ source ~/.profile


Now we need to compile the source via
== Paparazzi-dev Debian/Ubuntu packages ==


$ cd ~/develop/ivy-ocaml/trunk
For Ubuntu users, you can install the following packages from standard repository. You can just copy the line(s) and paste into your terminal. But do not copy the $ sign, this symbol is just added on this page to show that it is to be pasted at a normal terminal prompt.
$ make


Compilation that doesn't work on 64bit systems, if you just run 'make'
=== Whole lot in one ===


/usr/bin/ld: civyloop.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `timer_cb' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
  sudo apt-get install ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gl-ocaml-dev \
                      liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml-dev libxml-light-ocaml-dev libocamlnet-ocaml-dev libpcre-ocaml \
                      libpcre-ocaml-dev libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev libglade2-0 libglade2-dev make build-essential \
                      git gnuplot m4 libtool libftdi-dev libmpfr-dev tcl8.5-dev xutils-dev


That's solved by just editing the Makefile. Change the line containing
=== Ocaml and libraries ===


.c.o:
Ocaml, short for Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language. The Paparazzi Ground Control Station (GCS) and some of it's tools are crafted in this language.
        $(CC) -Wall -c $(OCAMLINC) $(GLIBINC) $<
to


.c.o:

        $(CC) -Wall -c -fPIC $(OCAMLINC) $(GLIBINC) $<


$ sudo apt-get install ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gl-ocaml-dev \
                        liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml-dev libxml-light-ocaml-dev libocamlnet-ocaml-dev


TODO:
=== Gnome canvas Library ===
File a defect to the ivy-ocam development team: A proper patch for the original sources would be one that checks if the system is a 64bit system, and if so set FPIC env variable. The following code at the beginning of the Makefile needs to be added just as it is done in the ivy-c Makefile


PERHAPS64:= $(shell uname -m | perl -ne "print /64/? '64' : '';")''
The GnomeCanvas is an engine for structured graphics that offers a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful, high level API. This widget can be used for flexible display of graphics and for creating interactive user interface elements.
ifeq ($(PERHAPS64), "64")
        FPIC=
else
        FPIC=-fPIC
endif


And then let the rule to compile all .c and .o files be like the following:
$ sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev


.c.o:
=== USB Library ===
        $(CC) -Wall -c $(FPIC) $(OCAMLINC) $(GLIBINC) $<


=== Paparazzi Main sourcecode ===
The libusb project aims to create a library for use by user level applications to access USB devices regardless of OS. [http://www.libusb.org]


To run the GCS, to beable to create airborne code and more one needs to get the Paparazzi source via
$ sudo apt-get install libusb-dev


$ svn co svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/paparazzi/paparazzi3/trunk paparazzi3
=== Ocaml PCRE ===


Compilation
This OCaml-library interfaces the PCRE (Perl-compatibility regular expressions) C library. it can be used for matching regular expressions which are written in Perl style.


If you enter the sources directory and simply run ''make'' you will get the following error in an amd64 system:
$ sudo apt-get install libpcre-ocaml libpcre-ocaml-dev


cd sw/ground_segment/multimon; make PAPARAZZI_SRC=/home/roi/Codigo/paparazzi-dev/lenny_versions/paparazzi/temp PAPARAZZI_HOME=/home/roi/Codigo/paparazzi-dev/lenny_versions/paparazzi/temp
=== Glade Library ===
CC hdlc.c
hdlc.c:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set


This is because the code in sw/ground_segment/multimon/filter-i386.h which contains optimizations for some functions gets included and it doesn't work on amd64. filter.h says that filter-i386.h gets included if:
Libglade is a library that performs a similar job to the C source output routines in the GLADE user interface builder. Whereas GLADE's output routines create C source code that must be compiled, libglade builds the interface from an XML file (GLADE's save format) at runtime.

  #ifdef ARCH_I386
  $ sudo apt-get install libglade2-0 libglade2-dev

                  -falign-functions=2 -DARCH_I386
endif


We'll have to change it to not define ARCH_I386, not optimize for i486 and add -fPIC. So we need to leave the above lines like:
Also the some utils are required to compile and install Ivy.


  CFLAGS          =-Wall -fPIC -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/X11R6/include -I `ocamlc -where`
  $ sudo apt-get install xutils-dev
ifeq ($(DEBUG),y)
CFLAGS          +=-g -O -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 \
                  -falign-functions=2
else
CFLAGS          +=-O3 -falign-loops=2 -falign-jumps=2 \
                  -falign-functions=2
endif


Note that leaving the sources like this won't apply the optimizations if now you take the modified source and compile it in a 32bit system... Once my paparazzi-bin deb package (see below) works well i'll provide better patches for all the modifications explained here.

=== FTDI library ===


== The depriciated -mapcs-32 option ==
libftdi is a library that talks to FTDI's 232 type chips, including the popular bitbang mode, using libusb. A library to be able to use with a debugging Autopilot hardware boards.


The option "-mapcs-32" is only available with very old tool chain versions e.g. GCC-3.3.x. More recent tool chains will either require "-mabi=apcs-gnu" (non-EABI-compliant) or "-mabi=aapcs-linux" (EABI-compliant). To have an overview of all flags go here
$ sudo apt-get install libftdi-dev


http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-1.3.1/ref/gnupro-ref/arm/ARM_COMBO_ch01.html
=== MPFR library ===


By changing -mapcs-32 with -Wa,-mapcs-32 compilation will work with more recent compilers and we have backward compatibility with the old flag for older compilers. The option -Wa,-mapcs-32 is doing the following: ''-Wa,option'' : Pass option as an option to the assembler. If option contains commas, it is split into multiple options at the commas.
The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. MPFR is based on the GMP multiple-precision library. The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined semantics.


The -mapcs-32 option generates code for a processor running with a 32-bit program counter and conforming to the function calling standards for the APCS 32-bit option. If interested in depth what APCS is read the following: http://www.openuas.org/site/APCS.txt
$ sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev


The gcc flag -mapcs-32 was deprecated since gcc-3.4.0 and finally removed in gcc-4.0.0 which unconditionally generates 32bit ARM code. You should not need to pass this flag to the assembler either but it might not hurt for backwards compatibility with older compilers, so it's best to leave it in with the -Wa, option metho

Debian packages
https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/


The source we downloaded above is debianized. For 32bit systems you just need to:
https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi-portability-support


cd ivy-c_3.8.1
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GNU_arm-toolchain
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us


And done. You'll get your .deb packages in the directory containing ivy-c_3.8.1 (up one level).
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.5.0/gcc/ARM-Options.html#ARM-Options


For 64bit systems there's a problem: The Makefile at src/Makefile sets the relative path for the target libraries in the variable LIB. This is set to 'lib' or 'lib64', this last for 64bit systems. However, if you take a look at those debian/ivy-c.dirs and debian/ivy-c.install files there's no files being installed for usr/lib64 or usr/X11R6/lib64 (just usr/lib and usr/X11R6/lib libraries are installed in the debian package).
http://mcuprogramming.com/forum/arm/gnu-arm-toolchain-installer/


We'll modify debian/rules to override the LIB environment variable when calling make to equal 'lib' always (even if your system is a 64bit one, /usr/lib64 will be just a symbolic link to /usr/lib). Just change the line (debian/rules, remember):
http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/cross-toolchain-osx.html


cd src && $(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp PREFIX=/usr
http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/building-an-arm-cross-toolchain-with-binutils-gcc-newlib-and-gdb-from-source
 
By:
 
cd src && $(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp PREFIX=/usr LIB=/lib
 
And done, now you can run dpkg-buildpackage as usual.


You can find the sources for 3.8 already properly debianized for 64bit systems by me at http://imasdtrade.x10hosting.com/paparazzi/ivy-c_3.8.1-2.tar.gz. There you can find the .deb packages for ivy-c and ivy-dev (amd64) too. I've changed the debian/changelog file too...

Installation/FromScratch

Installation/MacOSX
Installation/Windows10

Users of recent Debian/Ubuntu distributions are advised to use the binary packages as described in Installation/Linux.

WARNING! Only use if you are proficient in working with Linux!

Intro

Users of other Linux flavors or anyone needing manual control of each individual package can install them independently.
The list of dependencies of the Debian package is located in the debian/control file and may help users of other distributions.

Some corresponding source tarballs can be downloaded from paparazzi-uav ppa on launchpad. (maybe building the packages from source is more reliable in view of dependencies)

For distributions using RPM packaging, the alien tool can be used to convert a .deb package into a .rpm package.

As with all Wiki pages, also this page is a work in progress. Try to be a big help to the Paparazzi project and improve this page whenever you can. If you have a distribution different from Ubuntu which doesn't satisfy any other dependency and have instructions about compiling it, packaging it, feel free to add any reference on how to do that on this wikipage.

Goal

The goal of this page is to clarify about which version of each piece of software has to be compiled, where to find that software, patches needed to make it compile on Linux, maybe even FreeBSD or OSX.

Fedora 19

To build paparazzi-uav on Fedora 19, you must install the next packages from the official repository:

  • ocaml
  • ocaml-findlib
  • ocaml-xml-light
  • ocaml-ocamlnet
  • ocaml-lablgtk-devel
  • libxml2-devel
  • SDL-devel
  • libusb-devel

Paparazzi-uav needs to include some ocaml headers when it compiles the simulator, then please be sure that they are included. If not, edit sw/simulator/Makefile and add: 

 CAML_CFLAGS = -I/usr/lib64/ocaml

The following packages must be built from source code (they are not included in the official repository):

  • ivy-c
  • ivy-ocaml

Paparazzi-uav was successfully compiled using ivy-c 3.14 and ivy-ocaml 1.2. Please note that the ivy-c version is an unstable version!

Additionally, you need install the next RPMs to build ivy-c:

  • pcre-devel
  • libXt-devel
  • tcl-devel
  • glib2-devel

Don't forget to set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG before building ivy-ocaml, e.g: 

 $ export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Fedora 24

NOTE: Built upon Fedora 19 instruction, unnecessary instructions may occour.

1. Install dependencies: 

 $ sudo dnf install ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-xml-light ocaml-ocamlnet ocaml-lablgtk-devel ocaml-camlp4-devel libxml2-devel SDL-devel libusb-devel pcre-devel libXt-devel tcl-devel tk-devel glib2-devel gsl-devel

2. Edit the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable in your ~/.bashrc file to accomondate /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ (default for ivy libs)

3. Edit all the ivy specific .pc files in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, changing line 3 from "libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib" to "libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib64"

4. Install ivy-python via pip and compile and istall ivy-c and ivy-ocaml from source as shown Installation/FromScratch#IVY

Note: dependencies for compiling ivy-c and ivy-ocaml are already covered above (except toolchain!).

5. Compile and install JSBsim from source

Hacks: Link libivy and libJSBsim after compiling 

 $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/lib
 $ sudo ln -s /opt/jsbsim/lib/libJSBSim.so.0 /usr/lib
 $ sudo ldconfig

Arch Linux

This is a dirty hacked together (not really according to "the Arch Way") install, but works on a fresh installed Archbang GNU/Linux.

NOTE: following issues

  1. Only written and tested for Archbang and Manjaro, not tested on vanilla Arch Linux yet.
  2. It seems that the error "unbound module GnoCanvas" can be resolved by installing lablgtk2 via yaourt first and then conf-gnomecanvas over opam.
  3. No symlink from liblglibivy.so.3 and liblglibivy.so.3 to libglibivy.so.3.15, so can't find these files.
  4. If pkg-config can't find some .pc files, a pkg-config path might not be set and exported properly. Use "pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config" to check if the path containing the ivy-c.pc, ivy-glib.pc and ivy-tcl.pc files is found.
  5. "ocamlfind: Package `netclient' not found" -> seems that the opam packages need to be installed in a specific order... (try ocamlnet first, then lablgtk.2.16)

Requirements:

  1. Up to date system
    • pacman -Syyu
  2. Install Yaourt

Install Paparazzi:

  1. Packages base-devel, yajl and general dependencies 
    # pacman -S base-devel yajl subversion git libusb pcre ocaml camlp4 tcl tk python python-pip sdl glade
  2. Check if the PKG_CONFIG_PATH points to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, otherwise set and export it 
    $ echo 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/' >> ~/.bashrc
  3. Build and install Ivy-C from Source 
    $ git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-c.git /home/$USER/temp/ivy-c 
$ cd /home/$USER/temp/ivy-c/src 
$ make 
$ sudo make install
  4. Dirty All the ivy libs are installed in /usr/local/lib64 and not /usr/local/lib as the .pc files point to currently.
    Change in the third line (libdir) in the ivy-c.pc, ivy-glib.pc and ivy-tcl.pc file from lib to lib64 and the fourth line (includedir) from include to include/Ivy
  5. DirtyFor libgivy, libivy and libtclivy (.so and .so.3 ending) is a link directing to the lib with .so.3.15 availaible, but not for libglibivy.
  6. Create these links for libglibivy 
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libglibivy.so.3.15 /usr/local/lib64/libglibivy.so 
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libglibivy.so.3.15 /usr/local/lib64/libglibivy.so.3
  7. Install opam (OCaml packet manager) via yaourt 
    $ yaourt -S opam
  8. Initialize opam 
    $ opam init 
$ f 
$ ~/.bashrc 
$ echo 'eval `opam config env`' >> ~/.bashrc
  9. Install and pin lablgtk.2.16.0 (2.18.0 will not work) 
    $ opam install -v lablgtk.2.16.0 
$ opam pin add lablgtk 2.16.0
  10. Install OCaml packets via opam 
    $ opam install ocamlfind ocamlnet xml-light pcre ivy
    If this fails at Ivy related parts check the notes on top of this guide.
  11. Install ivy-python via pip 
    $ sudo pip install ivy-python
  12. Install the Toolchain for Paparazzi (e.g. gcc-arm-none-eabi-bin from the AUR) 
    $ sudo pacman -S gcc-arm-none-eabi-bin

Optional:

  1. Install flashing utilities if needed
$ yaourt stlink-git dfu-util
  1. Install JSBSim for NPS

Download and build Paparazzi

Installing the Cross compiler toolchain

There are currently two different toolchains available that can be used on Linux based systems with Paparazzi. For more information see Installation/Linux#ARM_embedded_toolchain

Installing OCaml packages using OPAM

One possibility to install and manage OCaml packages is OPAM (OCaml Package Manager):
Please first check the official OPAM install guide for the simplest method.
To install it from the latest git tree run: 

git clone https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam.git
cd opam
./configure && make
sudo make install

opam init
eval `opam config env`

Update your shell environment as per opam init's instructions. E.g. add to your ~/.profile: 

eval `opam config env`

Build and install OCaml libs: 

opam install ocamlfind xml-light pcre ocamlnet
opam install -v lablgtk

IVY

IVY is a simple protocol and a set of open-source libraries and programs that allows applications to broadcast information through text messages, with a subscription mechanism based on regular expressions. The project can be found at: https://ivybus.gitlab.io/

In the paparazzi project, Ivy is used to send telemetry data to where ever you want.

NOTE: Do not confuse this IVY with the Apache Ivy project.

Ivy-python

The ivy-python package makes it possible to use the IVY libraries from within the Python programming language. The ivy-python package is architecture independent, so it can be downloaded from the Ubuntu or Debian paparazzi repository.

The easiest way to instally it on non Debian based systems is using pip to install the ivy-python package from PyPi - the Python Package Index. 

pip install ivy-python

Or install from the source repository via 

git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-python.git
cd ivy-python
./setup.py install

Ivy-c

To be able to use ivy-c, the libraries need to be installed.

Required packages (Debian based):

  • tk-dev
  • libpcre3-dev
  • libxt-dev
  • pkg-config
  • libglib2.0-dev

Download source, compile and install libraries: 

# mkdir -p /opt/ivy-c 
# cd /opt/ivy-c
# git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-c.git
# cd /opt/ivy-c/trunk/src
# make
# make install

It is possible you get errors of the test module when compiling, just ignore the messages, it is not important for the Paparazzi project. Contact the IVY team to help them also to resolve also the testing makefile issue.

troubleshooting

Error message: 

gcc -c -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -fPIC -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -DTCL_CHANNEL_INTEGRATION  ivytcl.c
ivytcl.c:28:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory

The Makefile cannot read the tcl-dev version you have installed and assumes that version 8.4 is installed, but can't find the appropriate folder.
Edit the line 57 of the Makefile from TCLVERS=8.4 according to your installed version, or just delete the 8.4, both work.


Can't find 64bit libs: Your ivy libs were probably installed to /usr/local/lib64 and you have to make symbolic links so that they will be found: 

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/lib

or 

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so /usr/local/lib64/libivy.so.3 /usr/local/lib


Ivy-OCaml

ivy-ocaml provides OCaml bindings for ivy-c and is needed for most of the ground segment agents that are written in OCaml like Server and GCS.

Download source, compile and install libraries: 

# mkdir -p /opt/ivy-ocaml
# cd /opt/ivy-ocaml
# git clone https://gitlab.com/ivybus/ivy-ocaml.git
# cd /opt/ivy-ocaml/trunk
# make
# make install

ivy-ocaml via OPAM

Or use OPAM: While the source repository and debian package is named ivy-ocaml, in OPAM it is only named ivy (since it is obviously for OCaml). 

$ opam update
$ opam install ivy

LPC21ISP

lpc21isp is only needed to serially flash the LPC2148 based autopilots (e.g. Lpc21BootloaderUpload bootloader for tiny, twog, umarim). LPC21ISP is an in-circuit programming (ISP) tool for the microcontroller used on the Paparazzi autopilot boards. The lpc21isp project is hosted on sourceforge and one can find the source packages and information at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpc21isp/

Get the SVN version via 

$ mkdir -p /opt/lpc21isp
$ cd /opt/lpc21isp
$ svn co https://lpc21isp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lpc21isp lpc21

To compile go into the source directory and then do 

$ cd lpc21
$ make -f Makefile clean all

To install 

$ exportline="PATH=$PATH:/opt/lpc21isp"
$ if grep -Fxq "$exportline" ~/.profile; then echo nothing to do ; else echo $exportline >> ~/.profile; fi
$ source ~/.profile

Paparazzi-dev Debian/Ubuntu packages

For Ubuntu users, you can install the following packages from standard repository. You can just copy the line(s) and paste into your terminal. But do not copy the $ sign, this symbol is just added on this page to show that it is to be pasted at a normal terminal prompt.

Whole lot in one

 sudo apt-get install ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gl-ocaml-dev \

Ocaml and libraries

Ocaml, short for Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language. The Paparazzi Ground Control Station (GCS) and some of it's tools are crafted in this language.

  • ocaml, ocaml-camlimages-devel, ocaml-lablgtk2-devel, ocaml-xml-light-devel, ocamlnet-ocaml-devel
$ sudo apt-get install ocaml libcamlimages-ocaml liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gl-ocaml-dev \
                       liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml-dev libxml-light-ocaml-dev libocamlnet-ocaml-dev

Gnome canvas Library

The GnomeCanvas is an engine for structured graphics that offers a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a powerful, high level API. This widget can be used for flexible display of graphics and for creating interactive user interface elements. 

$ sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-dev

USB Library

The libusb project aims to create a library for use by user level applications to access USB devices regardless of OS. [1] 

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-dev

Ocaml PCRE

This OCaml-library interfaces the PCRE (Perl-compatibility regular expressions) C library. it can be used for matching regular expressions which are written in Perl style. 

$ sudo apt-get install libpcre-ocaml libpcre-ocaml-dev

Glade Library

Libglade is a library that performs a similar job to the C source output routines in the GLADE user interface builder. Whereas GLADE's output routines create C source code that must be compiled, libglade builds the interface from an XML file (GLADE's save format) at runtime. This can allow modifying the user interface without recompiling. 

$ sudo apt-get install libglade2-0 libglade2-dev

Tcl/Tk

$ sudo apt-get install tcl-dev

Also the some utils are required to compile and install Ivy. 

$ sudo apt-get install xutils-dev

Make

GNU Make is an utility which controls the generation of executables and other target files of a program from the program's source files. 

$ sudo apt-get install make

Build essential

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Libtool

GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of using shared libraries behind a consistent, portable interface. Creating the files for Paparazzi software building becomes less cumbersome by using this tool. 

$ sudo apt-get install libtool

libpcre3-dev

Required for compiling Ivy-C. 

$ apt-get install libpcre3-dev

Git Client

Git is a version control system. Version control systems allow many individuals to collaborate on the Paparazzi source code. This is needed to retrieve the latest sourcecode from various packages and Paparazzi sourcecode itself. 

$ sudo apt-get install git

Subversion

Version control system, required for cloning the ivy packages. 

$ apt-get install subversion

GNU Plot

A command-line driven interactive plotting program. Unknow if it is used 

$ sudo apt-get install gnuplot

Meld

Meld is a graphical front end to the diff program. It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two files. It is used by the Paparazzi Center when configuration changes are not yet saved and the option comes along where one either can keep or view changes made in aircraft- and other configuration files. 

$ sudo apt-get install meld

The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined semantics. 

$ sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev

ImageMagick

ImageMagick is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. Being able to modify image based map pictures is a feature that may come in handy one time. 

$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick

Optional on an older OS

If you have an older OS distribution it never hurts to install the following... 

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-6 libx11-dev texinfo libncurses5 libncursesw5 libncursesw5-dev zlibc
