Building OSSIM on OSX

build_ossim.txt

Append to .bashrc or .zshrc

# OSSIM environment vars
export OSSIM_VERSION=1.8.19
export OSSIM_DATA=/data

# Wherever you checked out the code to:
export OSSIM_DEV_HOME=${HOME}/ossim_trunk

export OSSIM_DEPENDENCIES=$OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_dependencies
export OSSIM_HOME=$OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim

# You'll have to create the 'build' directory in cmake/
export OSSIM_BUILD_DIR=$OSSIM_DEV_HOME/ossim_package_support/cmake/build

export OSSIM_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
export OSSIM_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/OssimBuilds/Release
export OSSIM_PREFS_FILE=$HOME/ossim_preferences

Some dependencies via HomeBrew:

brew install libtiff
brew install libgeotiff
brew install Caskroom/cask/xquartz
brew install open-scene-graph
brew install geos
brew install ffmpeg
brew install gdal


Then on to the actual build.

From ${OSSIM_BUILD_DIR} copy the `configure.sh` (https://gist.github.com/kitplummer/308233595c4fcd1eebbc) file in.  
Then run the configure.sh command.  Then run 'make -j 8' and 'make install'.

Then copy ossim_preferences to your home directory (https://gist.github.com/kitplummer/93fb05d32b5396cb5f2a).

Thanks for the instructions. I am trying to compile OTB-5.0.0 on on OS X 10.10.4 and ossim is hopefully my last step. I have installed ossim 1.7.20 via the package installer but the OTB-5.0.0 build fails (and requires a newer version of oasis). So I have followed the instructions above, but the configure.sh command exits with the following error:

CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/phagerty/ossim_trunk/ossim_package_support/cmake/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

I believe that I am missing a crucial step. Do you have any insight?

Thanks,
Patrick
