LCA Vision Download

by streeter last modified 2007-03-30 05:07

The most current version of LCA Vision Release 2.0 can be found here. To help ensure that LCA Vision Release 2.0 runs correctly, please read the following:

LCA Vision Release 1.0, compatible with Irix 6.5 and higher and Linux and weighing in at roughly 35 Megs post-compile, is available via anonymous checkout at the cactuscode CVS pserver. Just type the following in your terminal:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.cactuscode.org:/packages login
the password is anon. Then, again all one line
cvs -d :pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.cactuscode.org:/packages checkout LCAVision1.0

Note: now that we have autoconf, we have discontinued our heretofore practice of making precompiled binaries available directly. Because now, for Linux and most SGI users, it is a better idea for yours and our sakes if you just follow the full instructions for downloading and installing the required libs and the LCAVision program. We made the procedure painless enough now from our stampoint so that installing and building LCAVision locally yourself with all its libs should be the least hassle we could possibly make it.

Having the same libs on your system already that we're using lets us just release our source code meaning faster turn-around time for new developments and fixes and less time for everybody trying to decipher subtle nuances between different environments that cause precompiled distributions to work poorly or often not at all.

The code provided as-is should work if you follow the instructions, or else there is something on your end that does not meet the requirements laid out in this website. So we don't have to maintain separate copies, it would be nice if we could have the source available from a CVS repository, too...

Because the help docs in this site are currently under major revision, this site and current help documentation is not yet ready in a tarball. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in the short term.

From Where to Download the Other Utilities and Open Source Libraries LCAVision Requires

If you don't have them available already and haven't by this point surmised, you'll need the following basic utilities on your system to set up all the libraries and LCAVision.

And, of course, the following libraries:

vtk, the Visualization Toolkit is available at available at http://www.kitware.com/vtk.html
fltk, the Fast Light (Graphical User Interface) Toolkit is available at http://www.fltk.org, although we highly recommend (especially for the movie macros recording feature) using an older copy of the library we used when developing which you can download here: fltk-1.0.11-source.tar.gz

flexio (the newest copy and the one that works with LCAVision) is available via anonymous checkout from the cactuscode CVS pserver. Instructions

HDF 4.1 release 3 or later is available at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu
tcpxx is available via anonymous checkout at the cactuscode pserver's CVS repository. Just type the following in your terminal:
cvs -d :pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.cactuscode.org:/packages login
the password is anon
cvs -d :pserver:cvs_anon@cvs.cactuscode.org:/packages checkout TCPXX
