OpenIndy is a metrology software solution that can be extended by plugins. The project started in 2013 as a student project in the Department of Geoinformatics and Surveying (FH Mainz). Our primary goal is to attract students and to jointly develop and learn. For more information take a look at the OpenIndy Wiki.

OpenIndy is developed with the Qt framework (Qt libs + Qt Creator IDE). You can download the framework here.

The easiest way to build OpenIndy is to use the Qt Creator. You can build OpenIndy in debug or release mode.

First you have to build the openIndyLib. It includes basic mathematic functionalities such as linear algebra algorithms.

• Qt Creator ----> lib/openIndyLib/openIndyLib.pro

Then build OpenIndy and copy the dependencies.

Second you can build main program OpenIndy.

• Qt Creator ----> openindy.pro
• Copy the openIndyLib (lib/openIndyLib/bin/debug || lib/openIndyLib/bin/release) and the oisystemdb.sqlite (db/) to bin/debug || bin/release. On Mac OS, you can find the binaries under openindy/contents/MacOs
• Include LAPACK/BLAS

If using Linux:

• Use the Terminal (command line): sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev

If using Windows:

• Copy all dll's from lib/armadillo-3.910.0/examples/lib_win64 to bin/debug || bin/release

If using Mac OS:

• Copy lib/armadillo-3.910.0/examples/framework_mac/Accelerate.framework to the Mac OS Library /Library/Frameworks

You can find the default plugin under plugins/OiDefaultPlugin. After you've built the plugin you can embed it via the GUI (Plugin -> load plugins). Also you can find a template for a plugin in the folder, which you can copy and start developing your own plugin.
