KDevelop
Using KDevelop with Elphel cameras software
It is now possible to use KDevelop (Integrated Development Environment) with Elphel cameras software. KDevelop provides graphical user interface to what was console environment only.
Installing
In order to use this feature you first need to install Elphel software - either the latest release from the Sourceforge (not yet released) or from CVS (i.e. downloading, unzipping and runningelphel353_install_from_cvs.sh).
After the software is installed (it takes some time to run ./install_elphel) you may navigate to the project root directory and run
./prep_kdevelop.php --strict
This script will require several pieces of the software to be installed - the first one is PHP (>=5.0.0) itself (including php5-cli). If PHP is installed in other than
/usr/local/php
directory, you may run the script with the following command:
php prep_kdevelop.php --strict With the '--strict' option this script will terminate if any of the required programs is missing (and output what exactly is needed to be installed). If all dependencies are satisfied the script will continue and create/modify several files:
- elphel353.kdevelop - KDevelop project, you may open it with KDevelop application by mouse-clicking this file in the file manager
- tags - ctags index file, used by KDevelop to locate where the current name is declared or defined
- ctags_excludes - list of directories (with wildcards) to exclude from ctags indexing (i.e. drivers for other architectures)
- Doxyfile - Doxygen configuration (including the list of the subdirectories to scan) - used to generate documentation
- templates - directory for custom file templates (headers for the new files)
- templates/c - template for the C source files
- templates/cpp - template for the C++ source files
- templates/h - template for the C/C++ header files
- templates/php - template for the PHP files
- templates/v - template for the Verilog HDL source files
- templates/tf - template for the Verilog HDL test fixture files
- templates/ucf - template for the user constraint files (used with Verilog files)
- ~/.kde/share/config/kdeveloprc - KDevelop configuration file
