CMake Options

Each of the following options may be specified when executing CMake by prefixing the option with -D (e.g., -Dwith_accel=OFF).

Modules

• with_accel (default: ON) - Build accelerometer support.
• with_analog (default: ON) - Build analog sensor support.
• with_audio (default: ON) - Build audio support.
• with_battery (default: ON) - Build battery support.
• with_botball (default: ON) - Build botball support.
• with_camera (default: ON) - Build camera support.
• with_compass (default: ON) - Build compass support.
• with_console (default: ON) - Build console support.
• with_create (default: ON) - Build iRobot Create 2 support.
• with_digital (default: ON) - Build digital sensor support.
• with_graphics (default: ON) - Build graphics support (requires X11 development files, such as x11proto-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).
• with_gyro (default: ON) - Build gyroscope support.
• with_magneto (default: ON) - Build magnetometer support.
• with_motor (default: ON) - Build motor support.
• with_network (default: ON) - Build network support.
• with_servo (default: ON) - Build servo support.
• with_tello (default: ON) - Build Tello support.
• with_thread (default: ON) - Build thread support.
• with_time (default: ON) - Build time support.
• with_wait_for (default: ON) - Build wait_for support.

Bindings

• with_python_binding (default: ON) - Build Python binding (requires Python 3+ development files, such as libpython3.10-dev on Debian/Ubuntu).

Miscellaneous

• with_documentation (default: ON) - Build documentation support (requires doxygen installed on system).
• with_tests (default: ON) - Build tests.

Dummy Build

• DUMMY (default: OFF) - Build a dummy build for use on computer

Cross-compiling to aarch64-linux-gnu (e.g., Wombat)

apt install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu
cd libkipr
cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$(pwd)/toolchain/arm-linux-gnueabihf.cmake .

Cross-compiling to JavaScript/WASM (e.g., Simulator)

Without Python Support

libkipr can be compiled to statically link to a C program that has been compiled to emscripten. The resulting libkipr.a should be used.

source emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
cd libkipr
emcmake cmake -Bbuild -Dwith_graphics=OFF -Dwith_camera=OFF -Dwith_tello=OFF -Dwith_python_binding=OFF .

With Python Support

libkipr can be compiled to dynamically link to a cpython that has been compiled to emscripten. The resulting kipr.wasm should be placed in cpython's virtual filesystem on the PYTHONPATH (see simulator for details).

source emsdk/emsdk_env.sh
cd libkipr
emcmake cmake -Bbuild -Dwith_graphics=OFF -Dwith_camera=OFF -Dwith_tello=OFF -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=$PYTHON_LIBRARY -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=$PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR -Dwasm=ON .

where:

• $PYTHON_LIBRARY is the libpythonVERSION.a file that has been compiled to emscripten-browser.
• $PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR is that python's include directory.
