Building NETSIM

Install from deb package on Debian / Ubuntu

The easiest way to install netsim is using Debian (stable and oldstable) and Ubuntu (currently supported LTS releases). Packages for these releases are built for the amd64, arm64, and armhf architectures and uploaded to http://packages.gobysoft.org

To install release packages on Ubuntu, run:

echo "deb http://packages.gobysoft.org/ubuntu/release/ `lsb_release -c -s`/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gobysoft_release.list

or for Debian:

echo "deb http://packages.gobysoft.org/debian/release/ `lsb_release -c -s`/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gobysoft_release.list

In both cases, then run:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 19478082E2F8D3FE
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libnetsim-dev netsim-apps

Build from source / Other distributions & releases

For other Linux distributions or releases, you will be required to build from source.

The list of build dependencies:

• Jack2 library (libjack-jackd2-dev on Debian/Ubuntu): https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2
• Goby3 core and moos libraries (and optionally gui library) (libgoby3-dev, libgoby3-moos-dev, libgoby3-gui-dev on Debian/Ubuntu): http://gobysoft.org/doc/3.0/html/
• CMake and a C++ compiler (GCC or Clang)

Once you have the dependencies installed:

cd netsim
./build.sh

You can pass command line parameters to CMake by setting the environmental variable NETSIM_CMAKE_FLAGS and to make as arguments to ./build.sh or in the environmental variable NETSIM_MAKE_FLAGS.

For example:

• To build with multiple cores:

  ./build.sh -j4
  # or equivalently
  NETSIM_MAKE_FLAGS=-j4 ./build.sh

• To enable building Doxygen documentation:

  NETSIM_CMAKE_FLAGS="-Dbuild_doc=ON" ./build.sh
