Individual packages#

Xerces-C#

SUMO uses Xerces-C 3.1.x or 3.2.x by default. Please be aware that Xerces-C 3.1.4 can cause problems when using unicode characters in your networks (especially importing chinese street names from OpenStreetMap).

Apache does not provide binary distributions any longer, but you can try our own build of Xerces-C 3.2.4 in the SUMOLibraries. Please note that setting environment variables to find a custom Xerces build does not work any longer.

Fox#

• If you do not need a GUI, you can skip this section.
• SUMO uses Fox 1.6 and will not work with Fox 1.7.
• Usually you do not need to build Fox yourself you can use the readily compiled binaries.
• If you insist, please download fresh sources and replace the ones in the SUMOLibraries (make sure not to delete the project file mentioned below).
• Go to the Fox directory and open the VC project e.g. D:\SUMOLibraries\fox-1.6.58\windows\vcpp\x64.sln.
• You might get approximately 240 warnings and one error, which can probably be ignored as long as you can find the resulting DLLs in the lib dir.
• Errors on not finding windows.h mean the SDK was not installed properly.

PNG support in Fox#

• Warning: This is a little advanced, we were successful with libpng 1.5.2 and 1.6.20 together with zlib 1.2.5 and 1.2.8
• download zlib sources and libpng sources from [1] and [2]
• unzip all zips
• there is no need to build zlib
• build pnglib by first adapting the path in <libpng>\projects\vstudio\zlib.props (if necessary) and then use the vstudio.sln from the same dir to build the libpng project
• you will get a png lib and a dll in <libpng>\projects\vstudio\Debug\
• if you want to be really sure, you can build the pngtest project as well and check the output
• you can build / add further configurations / platforms if needed
• Open the Fox project solution and edit properties of foxdll
  • in the C++/General section add the <libpng> dir to the include path
  • in the C++/Preprocessor section add the HAVE_PNG_H define
  • in the Linker/Input section add the .lib file to the input
• recompile fox and put the resulting dll together with libpng dll in your path

JPEG support in Fox#

• Warning: This is a little advanced, we were successful with jpeg 8d, and 9b the jpeg 8c which can be found at the fox-toolkit site was broken
• download libjpeg sources from [4] and unzip it
• download win32.mak and place it in the jpeg dir
• open a visual studio command prompt, cd to the jpeg dir and execute

nmake /f makefile.vc setup-v10
nmake /f makefile.vc

• you will get a libjpeg lib (and no dll!) in the jpeg dir
• if you need different configurations / platforms you can also open the solution file jpeg.sln and build jpeg from the GUI

• Open the Fox project solution and edit properties of foxdll
  • in the C++/General section add the jpeg dir to the include path
  • in the C++/Preprocessor section add the HAVE_JPEG_H define
  • in the Linker/Input section add the .lib file to the input
• recompile foxdll (see above) and put the resulting dll (which has jpeg support linked statically inside) in your path

PROJ and GDAL#

If you do not need transformation of geocoordinates you can disable PROJ and GDAL in the CMakeCache.txt (set all lines referring to PROJ or GDAL to empty) and skip this section. Otherwise you have the choice between downloading the binary packages from the SUMOLibraries or compiling for yourself (for the adventurous). Building from source should only be necessary if you want a 32bit build or some outdated version.

Building from source#

If you want to build PROJ and GDAL yourself for some reason, please follow the relevant build instructions for PROJ and for GDAL. You then should replace the version in the SUMOLibraries with your build.

FFMPEG#

This is only needed, if you want to save videos directly from the sumo-gui and can for some reason not use the version provided in the SUMOLibraries.

• You just need to download the binary ffmpeg distributions in the Shared and the Dev flavor. Also be sure to download all the platforms (32 and/or 64 bit) you need.
• Unzip the Dev version and overwrite the version in your SUMOLibraries with it.
• Unzip the Share version and copy the dll-files from the bin directory into SUMOLibraries as well.

OpenSceneGraph#

This is only relevant for the 3D GUI. You will need to build at least OSG 3.4.0 because earlier versions do not work with Visual Studio 2012. Unfortunately there are no binaries readily available. If you want to use models which are not in <SUMO>/data/3D, you can add directories containing them to the OSG_FILE_PATH environment variable. the build will look for libraries and includes in the SUMOLibraries.
