Build

OpenISAC uses CMake and requires C++17.

Build OpenISAC

Build the project using CMake:

sudo apt-get install libyaml-cpp-dev libzmq3-dev cppzmq-dev
cd OpenISAC
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)

Backend↔Frontend communication (sensing streams + the control/params channel) runs over ZeroMQ. The backend binds PUB sockets for the sensing/debug streams and a ROUTER socket for control on the configured listen IP/ports; the sample YAMLs use 0.0.0.0 for sensing/debug/control listen IPs. Python viewers connect with SUB/DEALER sockets. Point a viewer at a remote backend with its --host <ip> flag or Backend IP field (default 127.0.0.1).

Generated binaries

The primary generated binaries are:

• build/BS
• build/UE

Build type

This guide uses -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release by default to produce an optimized build for normal runtime use.

Clean rebuild

Use a clean rebuild when CMake cache state is suspect:

rm -rf build
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
make -j$(nproc)
