FreeMat

Installation of Python2 is necessary because it is based on Python 2

Work in progress to shift to python3

Here are some general instructions on building FreeMat from scratch on various platforms.

---

Fedora:

yum install cmake
yum install qt4 qt4-devel portaudio-devel atlas-devel atlas
yum install ufsparse-devel fftw-devel llvm-devel pcre-devel gcc-c++ libffi-devel
yum install ncurses-devel clang-devel rpm-build
yum install arpack-devel lapack-devel

(this doesn't include VTK).

Ubuntu 20.04 :

In Root:

apt install cmake
add-apt-repository ppa:rock-core/qt4  #for Ubuntu 20.04
apt install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev 
apt install portaudio19-dev/libasound-dev libatlas-base-dev libatlas3-base
apt install libsuitesparse-dev libfftw3-dev llvm-dev libpcre3-dev libffi-dev
apt install lib64ncurses-dev libclang-dev libopencl-clang-dev librpm-dev
apt install libparpack2-dev libarpack2-dev liblapack-dev
apt install python2 

Ubuntu 22.04 :

In Root:

apt install cmake
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/ppa #for Ubuntu 22.04 works for 20.04 also
apt install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev 
apt install portaudio19-dev/libasound-dev libatlas-base-dev libatlas3-base
apt install libsuitesparse-dev libfftw3-dev llvm-dev libpcre3-dev libffi-dev
apt install lib64ncurses-dev libclang-dev libopencl-clang-dev librpm-dev
apt install libparpack2-dev libarpack2-dev liblapack-dev
apt install python2 

At the moment, LLVM and CLANG do not install correctly in Fedora/Ubuntu. So you will have to build them. Make a build directory somewhere.

mkdir build
cd build

Create a subdirectory for the unfound dependencies (LLVM and CLANG in this case). If you name it "deps", you won't have to change any variables later.

mkdir deps
cd deps

Configure with the FreeMat dependencies script

cmake <Path to freemat source>/tools/dependencies
make

This will download and build LLVM and CLANG into a local directory.

Then, from the "build" directory, do

cmake <Path to freemat source>
make

And it should build.

Not Tested For Windows Windows 64/Fedora cross

Install the cross compiling dependencies.

yum install mingw64-gcc-c++ mingw64-gcc mingw64-qt mingw64-pcre
yum install mingw64-libffi-static mingw64-gcc-gfortran
yum install mingw32-nsiswrapper
yum install wine

Build the dependencies

mkdir build
cd build

mkdir deps
cd deps

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<Path to freemat
source>/cmake/Toolchain-cross-mingw64-fedora-linux <path to freemat>/tools/dependencies
