Consuming slsDetectorPackage

Depending on how you want to build your integration with slsDetectorPackage there are a few different ways to consume our package. The recommended way is to use one of the CMake approaches.

One can test with detector simulators before testing the API with a real detector or when a real detector is not at hand.

CMake: slsDetectorPackage as submodule in your project

If you are using CMake to build your integration and want to build everything in one go, we support adding slsDetectorPackage as a subfolder in your cmake project.

A minimal CMakeLists.txt could look like this:

project(myDetectorIntegration)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
add_subdirectory(slsDetectorPackage)

#Add your executable
add_executable(example main.cpp)
target_compile_features(example PRIVATE cxx_std_11)

#Link towards slsDetectorShared
target_link_libraries(example slsDetectorShared)

A fully working example can be found at:

https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/cmake-subfolder-example

CMake: find_package(slsDetectorPackage)

If you have compiled and installed slsDetectorPackage we also support find_package in CMake. If installed in a system wide location no path should be needed, otherwise specify cmake prefix path.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(myintegration)

find_package(slsDetectorPackage 5.0 REQUIRED)
add_executable(example main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example slsDetectorShared)

Then assuming the slsDetectorPackage is installed in /path/to/sls/install you should be able to configure and build your project in this way.

cmake ../path/to/your/source -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/sls/install
make

A minimal example is available at: https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/minimal-cmake

CMake: find_package and conda

Note

conda can also be used for installing dependencies such as zmq, Qt4 etc.

find_package(slsDetectorPackage) also works if you have installed slsDetectorPackage using conda. The only difference is that you point CMake to $CONDA_PREFIX

#assuming myenv contains slsdetlib
conda activate myenv
cmake ../path/to/your/source -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX
make

Depending on your system compiler you might also have to install gxx_linux-64 to compiled.

No tools minimal approach

While not recommended it is still possible to specify the include and library paths manually when invoking g++. This can sometimes be handy for a quick try.

#include "sls/Detector.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(){

    sls::Detector det;

    //Get all values and print them
    std::cout << "Hostname: " << det.getHostname() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Type: " << det.getDetectorType() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Udp ip: " << det.getSourceUDPIP() << "\n";


    //Get mac addr
    const int module = 0;
    auto mac = det.getSourceUDPMAC()[module];
    std::cout << "Mac addr of module "<< module <<  " is " <<  mac.str() << '\n';

}
