Getting Started

Obtaining the Library

MPEL depends on boost and OpenCV for some of its functionality you need to install these libraries before you can compile MPEL. They can be installed using the following commands

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

The source code for the library can be downloaded from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/lakshayg/mpel
mkdir mpel/build
cd mpel/build
cmake .. && make

Your First Code (The Easy Way)

The easiest way to compile your first program is to use the user directory in the repository. The CMakeLists.txt file in the directory takes care of linking the code.

cd mpel/user
# write your first code
cd ../build
cmake .. && make
cd user  # your executable should be present here
