Installing Siril
To install from source, you will have to install the base development packages: autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-tools, make, gcc.
Siril is developed with Arch Linux, which has all latest packages versions, and Linux Mint 16, a slightly old distribution. This allows us to verify a large range of package versions.
Installing on Debian
Debian 6 doesn't have GTK+ version 3, so you need at least version 7, codename Wheezy. For a desktop system, the next stable is probably a better choice, called Debian testing, currently version 8 with codename Jessie. We maintain an official debian package which is being introduced in the debian unstable repository. It will also be available on other debian-based systems soon. Until then, or if you want to build the latest version from source, use the procedure below.
First, you will need those packages to have a proper build system:
autoconf automake make gcc libtool pkg-config
Then you can generate the configure script:
$ aclocal && autoconf && autoheader && automake --add-missing
And install mandatory dependencies:
libfftw3-dev libgsl0-dev libcfitsio3-dev libgtk-3-dev libconfig++-dev
Finally you can install optional dependencies you want:
libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev libraw-dev, for film (AVI and others) support: libffms2-dev, and for image resizing in LRGB tool: libopencv-dev and g++.
Note that libtiff5 is incompatible with opencv in debian 7, in that case you need to install libtiff4 instead. And in debian 8, libjpeg8-dev has been replaced by libjpeg62-turbo-dev, which is also installed by libtiff5-dev.
And run the configure and make.
Installing on Arch Linux
Vincent maintains an AUR package for Siril. Download the tarball, run makepkg to build the package and pacman -U to install the package.
Installing on MacOS
SIRIL installation under Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
Install XCode via the App Store (free software).
Install the command line tools by typing in a Terminal window: xcode-select --install
Install the MacPorts software (free) : http://www.macports.org (Follow the installation instructions on this site.)
The following is done in a Terminal window. One should first install some libraries:
sudo port install gtk
sudo port install librsvg
sudo port install cfitsio
sudo port install fftw
sudo port install gsl
sudo port install libconfig
Also install some optional dependencies (recommanded) :
sudo port install libraw
sudo port install tiff
sudo port install jpeg [NB : at present this library does not seem to be correctly handled by SIRIL on Mac]
sudo port install libpng
sudo port install opencv
Install the ffms2 library which is not present in MacPorts. Download it here: https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2, in the ffms2 folder, type from the terminal:
./configure --prefix=/opt/local
make
sudo make install
Download the SIRIL sources:
svn co https://free-astro.vinvin.tf/svn/siril/
In the siril/src folder, edit the Makefile.am file and suppress (two times) the string "-export-dynamic"
In the terminal go to the siril folder:
cd siril
Generate the configure file by typing:
aclocal && autoconf && autoheader && automake --add-missing
Then run ./configure and make. To install Siril, use the usual:
$ sudo make install
Launch SIRIL :
siril
Enjoy !
