Note that BrainWeaverRuffian should fail! See BrainWeaverRuffian why.

Building BrainWeaver should be easy on Debian or *ubuntu or other GNU/Linux distro's that use Debian as a package manager. If you have another operating system or package manager, feel invited to add building instructions for those platforms.

To build BrainWeaver you will need to:

• Install some packages
• Download some other GitHubs
• Build some other GitHubs
• Build BrainWeaver

In the BrainWeaver folder, run the install_packages.sh script with root rights:

sudo ./install_packages.sh

In the BrainWeaver folder, run the download_other_githubs.sh script (without root access):

./download_other_githubs

In the BrainWeaver folder, run the build_other_githubs.sh script (without root access):

./build_other_githubs

Within the BrainWeaver folder,

• Developer: Open the Qt Creator project file BrainWeaverDeveloper.pro in Qt Creator and build
• Student module: Open the Qt Creator project file BrainWeaverStudent.pro in Qt Creator and build
• Assessor module: Open the Qt Creator project file BrainWeaverAssessor.pro in Qt Creator and build

If you do not use Qt Creator, you can build the project using qmake and make like this:

qmake BrainWeaverDeveloper.pro -qt=qt5
make 

See the BrainWeaver documentation.

Testing is done by:

• BrainWeaverConsoleTest.pro (run by Travis CI)
• BrainWeaverDeveloperTest.pro (run by Travis CI)
• the file test_scripts/scenario1.sh for a minimal run (zipped video) (started by hand, BrainWeaver must be running)
• the file test_scripts/scenario2.sh for a more complex run (started by hand, BrainWeaver must be running)

I personally hate building problems, so I will be most happy to help you out. Please let me know, by, for example, adding an Issue.

From a Travis build log:

Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC)                = 445,425
Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 120.85 (1,450.19)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05))
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months)                         = 3.31 (39.74)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38))
Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule)  = 36.49
Total Estimated Cost to Develop                           = $ 2,732,881
