Building OSVR

Compiler: Clang or GCC or G++

  • need g++ 4.8 or newer

  • You will need to build jsoncpp and libfunctionality separately from OSVR-Core : see http://wiki.osvr.com/doku.php?id=startingcore

Required tools/libraries:

  • Boost libraries (1.44 or newer)
    • There is a bug in Boost 1.58.0 which makes it incompatible.
  • OpenCV
  • Git
  • CMake (3.0 or newer)
sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-dev markdown libsdl2-dev libboost-thread1.55-dev libboost-filesystem1.55-dev libboost-program-options1.55-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libopencv-dev 

Build these libraries first

mkdir ~/osvr 
cd osvr
  • libfunctionality library
git clone https://github.com/osvr/libfunctionality.git
cd libfunctionality
mkdir build ; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/libfunctionality
make -j8
sudo make install
  • jsoncpp library
cd ~/osvr
git clone --recursive https://github.com/VRPN/jsoncpp
cd jsoncpp
mkdir build ; cd build
cmake .. -DJSONCPP_WITH_CMAKE_PACKAGE=ON -DJSONCPP_LIB_BUILD_SHARED=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fPIC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/jsoncpp
make -j8
sudo make install
  • Adding below to .bashrc file
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/jsoncpp/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

##Ready to build OSVR-Core

git clone --recursive https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-Core.git
cd OSVR-Core
mkdir build ; cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/osvr
make -j8
sudo make install
  • this will run the server, with the default config file, right from within the build tree.
bin/osvr_server share/osvrcore/osvr_server_config.json
