# Supporting libraries for Terrasaur
The Terrasaur code is available at [GitHub](https://github.com/JHUAPL/Terrasaur.git). This directory contains these supporting libraries needed to build Terrasaur:
* [GSL](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/)
* [SPICE](https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov)
* [VTK](https://vtk.org)
* [OpenCV](https://opencv.org/)
# Shortcut
The support code may take a long time to compile (several hours in some cases). You can instead download a binary package for your architecture from [GitHub](https://github.com/JHUAPL/Terrasaur/releases). The compiled 3rd party products are found in the `lib` directory (e.g. `Terrasaur-YYYY.MM.DD/lib/Darwin_arm64`). Copy or move this directory to your source directory under `3rd-party`. For example:
```
mkdir 3rd-party
tar xfz Terrasaur-YYYY.MM.DD.tar.gz
ln -s Terrasaur-YYYY.MM.DD/lib/Darwin_arm64 3rd-party/
```
You can now compile the Terrasaur code using the released support files.
# Building the code
## Prerequisites
You may need to install the following packages with
your favorite package manager:
* [Apache Ant](https://ant.apache.org/) - needed for OpenCV Java support
* [CMake](https://cmake.org/) - used to build VTK and OpenCV
* [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html) - needed for lidar-optimize
## Build the packages
Each subdirectory has a build script which takes a single argument,
which is the installation location for the compiled libraries and
executables.
The `buildAll.bash` script will build and install the libraries and executables to the desired location. For example, this would install everything in a directory named for your system architecture (e.g. 3rd-party/Darwin_x86_64 on an intel macOS system):
```
./buildAll.bash ../3rd-party/$(uname -s)_$(uname -m)
```
### Note for macOS users
We have found that the VTK library will not compile with the XCode command line tools version 16.3 with clang-1700.0.13.3. We could successfully compile after downgrading to the Xcode 16 command line tools with clang-1600.026.3.
