1.8 Quickstart 23
1.8.2.2 Linux
The following (additional) packages will be needed to use all features of mvIMPACT Acquire:
• libwxbase3.0-0v5
• libwxbase3.0-dev
• libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
• libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
• libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-0v5
• libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev
• wx3.0-headers
• build-essential (meta package)
• libgtk2.0-dev
• gcc 4.8.5 (4.9.4 for ARM versions) environment or newer
Note
The names of the packages as mentioned above are the Ubuntu specific ones. Other distributions (e.g.
Debian, Arch, Redhat, ...) might use different names.
The installation script will ask if the packages should be downloaded during the installation process. If some of
the packages are not installed some features might not be available. If the e.g. wxWidgets related packages are
missing on the target system then all GUI application coming as part of the mvIMPACT Acquire installation won't be
available.
Note
If you are going to install the mvIMPACT Acquire package on an ARM device, please read this (p. 34)
section first.
To use a (camera) device in Linux (capture images from it and change its settings), a driver is needed, consisting of
several libraries and several configuration files. These files are required during runtime.
To develop applications that can use the device an API is needed, containing header files, makefiles, samples, and
a few libraries.
Both file collections are distributed in a single package which is available in the Support section of the MATRIX
VISION website. In addition to that an installation script is provided which can be downloaded from the same
location. Using this script makes installing the driver package a lot easier.
Note
The following table shows the supported platforms and the corresponding package and installation script
