Installation instructions

Prerequisites

You'll need a C compiler, CMake, and Make or Ninja. To compile the Matlab interface, you need Matlab and MEX as well.

Download

Download LADEL from https://github.com/kul-optec/LADEL.git (direct link):

git clone https://github.com/kul-optec/LADEL.git --single-branch --depth 1

Alternatively, without git

wget https://github.com/kul-optec/LADEL/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz -O- | tar xzf -

Matlab installation

Build

Open a terminal inside of the LADEL repository, and configure and build the project:

cmake -B build -S LADEL \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -D LADEL_WITH_MEX=On \
    -D CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=On

cmake --build build \
    --config Release -j

Install

On Linux, Matlab automatically adds ~/Documents/MATLAB to the path, so it's easiest install LADEL there:

cmake --install build \
    --config Release \
    --component mex_interface \
    --prefix ~/Documents/MATLAB

Uninstall

To uninstall LADEL, simply remove the @ladel folder from where you installed it:

rm -r "~/Documents/MATLAB/@ladel"

C installation

To install the C libraries and headers, simply follow the standard CMake configure, build, install instructions:

cmake -B build -S LADEL \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -D CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=On
cmake --build build --config Release -j
cmake --install build --config Release --prefix /usr/local

If you just need the shared libraries, you can use:

cmake -B build -S LADEL \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -D CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=On \
    -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On
cmake --build build --config Release -j
cmake --install build --config Release --component shlib --prefix /usr/local
