Rebuild caiman from source

To change the options in the caiman executable, rebuild caiman from source.

Note

Power profiling is a deprecated feature, and is being removed from Streamline in a future version.

Procedure

  1. Extract the source.

  2. Open CMakeLists.txt.

  3. Modify the settings at the beginning of the file as required. If necessary, modify include_directories and target_link_libraries to add other dependencies, such as NI-DAQ.

  4. Use CMake to generate either a Makefile or a Visual Studio project.

  5. Build the project as normal.

Example: Build NI DAQ enabled caiman for RHEL 6

To build a NI DAQ enabled version of caiman for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, set the following values in CMakeLists.txt:

  • SUPPORT_UDEV 0.

  • SUPPORT_DAQ 1.

  • NI_RUNTIME_LINK 0.

Also, verify the NI DAQ install paths within CMakeLists.txt.

See the National Instruments website, https://www.ni.com for the list of operating systems that NI DAQ supports.
