Ubuntu 9.04First, we will install necessary packages from the repository 1.sudo apt-get install build-essential 2.sudo apt-get install automake libtool 3.sudo apt-get install gfortran libreadline-dev 4.sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libswscale-dev libxml2-dev

Next, we will install all the external libraries that RTFTR depends on for its functionality. RTFTR uses the following libraries: fftw-3.2.1 : ftp://ftp.fftw.org/pub/fftw/fftw-3.2.1.tar.gz boost-1.37 : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=8041&release_id=637761 vigra1.6.0 : http://hci.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/vigra/vigra1.6.0.tar.gz octave-3.0.3 : ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/octave-3.0.3.tar.gz ffmpeg-0.5 : http://www.ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.5.tar.bz2 opencv-1.1pre1 : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22870&package_id=16948

Download all the library tarballs from their respective project pages

1.Installation of FFTW library: a.$ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-openmp && make b.$ sudo make install 2.Installation of Boost library a.$ ./configure && make b.$ sudo make install 3.Installation of Vigra library a.$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make b.$ sudo make install 4.Installation of Octave library a.$ ./configure --prefix=/usr && make b.$ sudo make install c.create a new file named "/etc/ld.so.conf.d/octave-i386.conf" and add the following line /usr/lib/octave-3.0.3 5.Now let us verify the installations of libraries, until now, using the following commands a.$ ls /usr/lib/libfftw3* b.$ ls /usr/lib/libboost* c.$ ls /usr/local/lib/libvigraimpex* d.$ ls /usr/lib/octave-3.0.3/lib* 6.Installation of ffmpeg library a.$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-shared --enable-swscale --prefix=/usr && make b.$ sudo make install c.$ ldd ./ffmpeg { to verify the installation } 7.Installation of opencv library

The location of header files for libavcodec of ffmpeg library, used by opencv to read AVI video files, had changed in ffmpeg-0.5 (Instead of location /usr/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h, the header file is placed in /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h). So to fix this issue, use the following command as a patch

$ cd opencv-1.1.0/

$ sed -e 's/ffmpeg\/avcodec.h/libavcodec\/avcodec.h/' -e 's/ffmpeg\/swscale.h/libswscale\/swscale.h/' -i configure

Now execute the configure script as

$ ./configure -prefix=/usr

Make the following changes to opencv-1.1.0/otherlibs/highgui/cvcap_ffmpeg.cpp

#include <libavformat/avformat.h> // old was <ffmpeg/avformat.h> #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h> // old was <ffmpeg/avcodec.h> #include <libswscale/swscale.h> // old was <ffmpeg/swscale.h>

Now compile the source

$ make $ sudo make install 8.Installation and compilation of RTFTR a.$ ./configure && make b.$ ./rtftr
