git clone https://github.com/aewallin/opencamlib
cd opencamlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -D CXX_LIB="ON"
make . # try make -j4 for a faster build if you have a multi-core machine
make install .or use a prebuilt release:
cd Downloads/
wget https://github.com/aewallin/opencamlib/releases/download/2023.01.11/linux-cxx-x86_64.zip
unzip linux-cxx-x86_64.zip && sudo cp -rpv prebuilds/linux-cxx-x86_64/* /usrand as root (su -):
echo '/usr/lib/opencamlib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencamlib.conf
ldconfigNext, checkout stl2ngc from git and run make and sudo make install:
git clone https://github.com/koppi/stl2ngc && cd stl2ngc
make
