Adding own source code to groops

[tmayerguerr]

Hi all,

Here is an short explanation of how to add your own source code to GROOPS.
The easiest way is to add your own new program:

1. Make a copy of programs/programTemplate.cpp , rename it accordingly e.g. programs/misc/myNewProgram.cpp and adjust it to your needs.
2. Add the source file in source/sourcesCXX.txt
3. Compile the code as described in the installation page (here for Windows): Open the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit terminal through Start Menu > MSYS2 64-bit > MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit.

cd /c/groops/source/build
cmake.exe .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\groops"
mingw32-make.exe -j4
mingw32-make.exe install

4. To see the new program in the GUI and in the documentation, GROOPS must be called with the following options:

cd /c/groops/
bin/groops.exe --xsd groops.xsd # create schema file used by the GUI
bin/groops.exe --doc docs/      # create documentation files

5. After reopening the GUI the program should be selectable.

This should give you an first idea of how to add your own code.

Best regards

Hi,

I want to add a cpp file with a header file (new.h and new.cpp). How should I add it for compilation?

Sincerely!

For example, I want to add a new type of observation equation.

Hi,

The steps are exactly the same. The header does not need to be in source/sourcesCXX.txt. You just need to modify the base class (classes/observation/observation.cpp) as well.

Best regards

Hi

I see, thank you very much. I will give it a try.

Sincerely!

Hi Torsten,

just wondering if it is possible to add a program written in FORTRAN into GROOPS.
