If you intend to generate an installation package of the Coin library on Windows, NSIS is required. DoxygenĪs the generation of the Coin documentation is enabled by default, Doxygen is required. On Linux prebuilt binaries for your distribution should be provided by the package manager. To find out how the Visual Studio version is related to the internal numbering have a look at Internal_version_numbering. Up to now Coin only uses the header only libraries, so downloading and installing the sources without building is sufficient.īoost binary packages are provided for Windows on sourceforge. Boostīoost C++ libraries are needed (at least version 1.45.0 from boost). Instead of doing so you need to clone the repository, e.g. git directory is not contained in the zip and therefore submodules are not be properly populated. The Git command git need to be available at the command line.ĭownloading the compressed sources from the Downloads section of the project won't work as the. To get the sources you need a Git client, Git, Git GUI clients, or TortoiseGit are a good choice.

On Microsoft Windows platforms, you don't need to install the Cygwin environment or something equivalent anymore to get through the build procedure.ĬMake will generate native projects for the build tools like Ninja, Make, XCode, or Microsoft Visual Studio/MSBuild. This means you need a build tool and a C/C++ compiler that is supported by CMake. The Build Environment CMakeĬoin uses CMake 3.0 or later for the configuration, building, and installation procedures. The Autotools build system is still maintained but at a significantly lower priority. We encourage you to use the CMake build configuration in favor of Autotools as all development efforts are directed to this path. It does not contain any information about installing binary distributions of Coin.

This document contains instructions for those who intend to build the Coin library from source and install it on their system.
