GTSAM_INSTALL.md

Building GTSAM with custom path

CMake

To allow CMake to find the custom path, we need to set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH environment variable.

Insert the following line in your .bashrc file (usually located at ~/.bashrc) or the RC file for whatever shell you're using (in my case ~/.zshrc).

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/borglab/libs:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

Build Path

Now we can build GTSAM with one simple cmake flag:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<custom-path> ..

Now you should be able to run

make -j4 && make install
