FAST Example Application

This repository is an example and a template of how to create a new stand-alone C++ application using FAST. You need git, cmake and a C++ compiler (e.g. gcc on Linux, visual studio on Windows) to compile this example.

Setup

1. Either
   • Install a release of FAST OR
   • Compile and install FAST on your system: See instructions here for Windows or Linux (Ubuntu).
2. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/smistad/FAST-example-project.git

3. Setup build environment using CMake
   Linux (Ubuntu)

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -DFAST_DIR=/path/to/FAST/cmake/

   Windows (Visual Studio) Modify generator -G string to match your Visual studio version. This command will create a visual studio solution in your build folder.

   mkdir build
   cd build
   cmake .. -DFAST_DIR=C:\path\to\FAST\cmake\ -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64

4. Build

   cmake --build . --config Release --target fastExample

5. Run Linux (Ubuntu)

   ./fastExample

   Windows

   cd Release
   fastExample.exe
