Build SimpleGazeTracker (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS)

OpenCV and SDL are necessary to build SimpleGazeTracker. Install following packages in advance. Other packages may be necessary depending on your environment.

• automake

• libopencv-dev

• libsdl2-dev

• libsdl2-net-dev

• libsdl2-ttf-dev

• libusb-1.0.0-dev

~$ sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

Expand gzipped tarball and change working directory to the created directory. Generate 'configure' script using autoconfig automake.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ aclocal
~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ autoheader
~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ autoconf
~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ automake --add-missing

Execute 'configure' script. If error message is displayed, check missing files and install corresponding packages. Ubuntu package search (<http://packages.ubuntu.com/>) is useful to search contents of packages.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ ./configure

If 'configure' script finish successfully, build and install SimpleGazeTracker.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ make
~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ sudo make install

By default, simplegazetracker is installed at /usr/local/simplegazetracker. Type as following to comfirm SimpleGazeTracker has been correctly installed. If it works correctly, ~/SimpleGazeTracker directory is created at the home directory. SimpleGazeTracker will show error message and terminate automatically if you have not connected camera unit in advance.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ /usr/local/simplegazetracker/sgtsrv

Build SimpleGazeTracker Flycapture2 edition

Install Flycapture2 SDK in advance. Procedure of building FlyCapture2 edition is the same as that of OpenCV edition except running configure script with --with-flycapture.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ ./configure --with-flycapture

Name of the executable file of Flycapture2 edition is sgtsrv-flycap, not sgtsrv.

Build SimpleGazeTracker Spinnaker edition

Install Spinnaker SDK in advance. Procedure of building Spinnaker edition is the same as that of OpenCV edition except running configure script with --with-spinnaker.

~/SimpleGazeTracker-x.x.x$ ./configure --with-spinnaker

Name of the executable file of Spinnaker edition is sgtsrv-spinnaker.
