Building from Source¶

At this time no binaries for PVTUI are provided so you must build it from source.

Dependencies¶

C++17 compiler (e.g. GCC 8+)
CMake
FTXUI
EPICS Base

Building¶

Clone PVTUI from GitHub and build with cmake

git clone https://github.com/BCDA-APS/pvtui
cd pvtui
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

PVTUI makes available several optional flags when running cmake

-DEPICS_BASE: (Default from environment) The path to EPICS base installation
-DFETCH_FTXUI: (Default ON) Whether or not to clone and compile FTXUI
-DBUILD_APPS: (Default ON) Whether or not to build applications in apps/ directory
-DBUILD_TESTS: (Default OFF) Whether or not to build tests in tests/ directory
-DBUILD_DOCS: (Default OFF) Whether or not to build Doxygen documentation

To install the cmake configuration files so other cmake projects can find the PVTUI library, set an install prefix with cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/prefix and then run make install.
