On Windows, there is support for building with either Visual C++ 6 with Service Pack 5 or with Visual C++ 7 (.Net).

The following is a summary of how to build PMT on windows. For more details, refer to the PmtUserGuide.

• Download and build (if necessary) OpenTiff, OpenExif, the IJG Jpeg toolkit, and Xerces-C++ v2.2
• Download PMT
• Set the following Environment Variables:
• Your Path must contain the directory where xerces-c_*.dll is located
• XERCESCROOT must point to the xerces directory
• EXIFROOT must point to the OpenExif toolkit directory
• TIFFROOT must point to the OpenTiff toolkit directory
• JPEGROOT must point to the IJG Jpeg toolkit directory
• Open the BuildAllStatic workspace or solution file (in the projects/Win32/VC* directory) for building static libraries for PMT, or BuildAllDynamic for building DLL libraries
• Go to Build->Batch Build... and do a Build All
• Run the AccessorTest and PmtInterpreterTest programs and compare their output to the corresponding GroundTrue.txt file

On Linux/Unix, there is support for building with gcc version 2.95.2, 2.95.3, or greater.

The following is a summary of how to build PMT with gcc. For more details, refer to the PmtUserGuide.

• Download and build (if necessary) OpenTiff, OpenExif, the IJG Jpeg toolkit, and Xerces-C++ v2.2
• Download PMT
• Set the following Environment Variables:
• XERCESCROOT must point to the xerces distribution directory
• EXIFROOT must point to the directory where OpenExif is installed
• TIFFROOT must point to the directory where OpenTiff is installed
• JPEGROOT must point to the directory where the Jpeg toolkit is installed
• LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $XERCESCROOT/lib : $EXIFROOT/lib : $TIFFROOT/lib : $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
• Configure PMT. For example:
  ./configure --prefix=/home/rrosario/pmt-intall-dir --disable-shared
• After successful configuration, make PMT:
  make
• Run the AccessorTest and PmtInterpreterTest programs and compare their output to the corresponding GroundTrue.txt file
