The CAEN Libraries need to download and install manually. The other libraries can be installed using the following command:
2023-05-24 16:04:32 -04:00
`sudo apt install qt6-base-dev libqt6charts6-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev elog`
2023-05-25 14:20:55 -04:00
The elog installed using apt is 3.1.3. If a higher version is needed. Please go to https://elog.psi.ch/elog/
The libcurl4 is need for pushing data to InfluxDB v1.8

# Compile
use `qmake6 -project ` to generate the *.pro
in the *.pro, add
` QT += core widgets charts printsupport`
2023-05-24 16:04:32 -04:00
` LIBS += -lCAENDigitizer -lcurl`
then run ` qmake6 *.pro` it will generate Makefile
then ` make`
if you want to use GDB debugger, in the *.pro file add
` QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -g`
## exclude some files from the auto-gen *.pro
The following files must be excluded from the *.pro, as they are not related to the GUI
- DataGenerator.cpp
- DataReaderScript.cpp
- EventBuilder.cpp
- test.cpp
- test_indep.cpp
Those file can be compiled using
`make -f Makefile_test`
