#GoPiGo in C
This repository contains source code, firmware and design materials for the GoPiGo in the C Language.
#####To Compile: gcc gopigo.c [your_file_name.c] -o gopigo -Wall #####To run: ./gopigo
Notes:
- The compile command uses the basic commands from gopigo.c library
- The output exectuable is the one followed by the -o argument, which is gopigo here (You can change it to something else if yuo want)
- the -Wall argument enable's all compiler warnings and is necessary for compiling the GoPiGo C example. Read more about it here: http://www.rapidtables.com/code/linux/gcc/gcc-wall.htm
If you want to use the library in a couple of different projects, it is recommended to install it globally. This also provides the information needed for pkg-config and CMake to automatically locate the library for more complex projects and build systems.
First, we create a dedicated build directory:
mkdir build
cd build
Now we can either create a Debian package
cmake ..
make package
and install it within Raspbian
sudo dpkg -i libgopigo-<version>-Linux-dev.deb
where <version> might be something like 1.6 (e.g., libgopigo-1.6-Linux-dev.deb).
Or, if you run the GoPiGo with any other non-Debian like Linux, it can be installed manually to an arbitrary folder:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/ ..
sudo make install
To use the install library directly with gcc, you need to link against it (-lgopigo) at compile time:
gcc basic_test_all.c -o gopigo -lgopigo -Wall
This way, the our new executable gopigo will use the previously install library libgopigo.so.1.6. Append -static to the above line, if you want to distribute the executable without the dependency on the gopigo library.
For using the library in a cmake project, change your CMakeLists.txt to locate the package via:
find_package(gopigo REQUIRED)
and link the library:
target_link_libraries(your_executable ${gopigo_LIBRARIES})
