STEP 6: Compiling CCV on Ubuntu 10.04

Now we are going to compile CCV for Ubuntu 10.04.

Make sure you DO NOT start here. You need to start at the beginning of the blog and follow from there, if you try to do this tutorial BEFORE this one, your ps3 eye will NOT work with CCV.

The following is a modified tutorial based off of x29a's post on the nui group forums.

Enter the following commands:

• sudo apt-get install subversion
• sudo su
• cd /opt
• svn co http://nuicode.svnrepository.com/svn/tbeta/trunk/tbeta/Linux/ ccv-Linux
• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/scripts/ubuntu
• chmod +x *.sh
• ./install_codeblocks.sh
• ./install_dependencies.sh
• apt-get install libpoco-dev
• apt-get install gpp

• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/
• cd apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux/

Now Download the following zip file. It contains the files I modified so that it will build on ubuntu 10.04: http://mt-dev.googlecode.com/files/codeblocks.tar

Unzip it to your Documents folder.

Back in your terminal enter the following command:

• nautilus

Navigate to /opt/ccv-Linux/apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux
and delete the following files:

1. Community Core Vision.cbp
   
2. Community Core Vision.depend
   
3. Community Core Vision.layout
4. Makefile

Now navigate to where you unziped my file. Select and cut the 4 files and paste them in the /opt/ccv-Linux/apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux folder.

Close Nautilus. Back in the terminal enter the following commands:


• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/libs/fmodex/lib
• rm libfmodexp.so libfmodex.so
• ln -s libfmodex-4.22.00.so libfmodex.so
• ln -s libfmodexp-4.22.00.so libfmodexp.so

• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux/bin/libs
• rm libfmodexp.so libfmodex.so
• ln -s libfmodex-4.22.00.so libfmodex.so
• ln -s libfmodexp-4.22.00.so libfmodexp.so
  

• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/
• codeblocks apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux/Community\ Core\ Vision.cbp

Now in codeblocks click Build --> Build.
You may get some errors, just click OK and ignore them.
CCV should now have successfully built. Close Codeblocks and go back to your terminal and enter the following commands:


• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux/bin
• gedit start.sh
  

In gedit copy and paste the following:

#!/bin/sh
echo $(pwd)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/libs/
./Community_Core_Vision



Click File --> Save. Now close gedit. Now enter the following commands into your terminal:


• chmod +x start.sh
• cd data
• gedit config.xml

In the Camera settings change UseCamera to 1. Click File --> Save. Close gedit.

To Start CCV enter the following commands in your terminal:



• cd /opt/ccv-Linux/apps/addonsExamples/Codeblocks_8_linux/bin
• ./start.sh

Congrats! You are now running CCV with the ps3 eye! if the camera feed is not from your ps3 eye but from another camera on your computer don't fear! Go back to the terminal in which your ran /start.sh and scroll up till you see the list of video capture devices, take note of which device your ps3 eye is and change the device number in config.xml to that and restart CCV with start.sh! Thats it! Hope this helps all those out there who want to develop MT on linux with CCV and a ps3 eye. Please comment if my instructions don't work anywhere in this blog.
