====== User Software :: pyBDSM ======

WARNING:

PyBDSM cannot be found in LUS repository any more (10-02-2014). The documentation of PyBDSM can be found here

==== External dependencies ==== The following packages are required in order to __build__ pyBDSM: * Python * NumPy * WCSLIB * CFITSIO * port3 -- this is part of pyBDSM now * minpack -- this is part of pyBDSM now The following packages are required in order to __run__ pyBDSM: * SciPy * [[http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyfits|pyfits]] * **fortran stuff (to make faster)** * f2py ==== Installation procedure ==== - Check out source code from the LUS repository


svn co http://usg.lofar.org/svn/code/trunk lofarsoft

The components of the source code are organized as follows: lofarsoft `-- src `-- BDSM |-- doc .. Documentation directory |-- implement .. Source code compiled into library and executables | |-- bdsm .. Original Fortran BDSM | |-- minpack | |-- port3 | `-- pybdsm .. C-based Boost.Python wrappers `-- scripts .. Python scripts * fortran and c stuff to be compiled into libraries are in ''implement/pybdsm'' * anaamika is in ''implement/bdsm'' * port3 etc are in ''implement'' - Run the ''bootstrap'' script in the build directory:


cd build
./bootstrap

- Build //pyBDSM//: make bdsm This will also go through the list of required external packages and check whether they are installed; if this is not the case, the dependencies will be resolved before continuing with ''pyBDSM'' itself. \\ The following components (libraries and application programs) will be build: * ''_py2fbdsm'' -- Write pyBDSM output to fBDSM format * ''_pytesselate'' -- Fortran implementation of Tesselation * ''_cbdsm'' -- Main python module to be imported - Installation of pyBDSM \\ Upon completion of the build, the generated components will be installed into the following locations:


.                              .. $LOFARSOFT
|-- release
|   |-- bin                    .. $PATH
|   |-- include
|   `-- lib
|       `-- python             .. $PYTHONPATH
|           |-- _cbdsm.so
|           `-- bdsm           .. Installation location of Python scripts
|               |-- image.py  
|               |

* executables are in //release/bin// and other stuff are in //release/lib, release/includes// and //release/lib/python// (pythonpath) * doc is in //doc// ==== Troubleshooting ====
