How to compile the code

[smartmatic]

Hi,

first of all thank you for that project. Hopefully i am able to get it running. I am currently working on the setup and have some questions.

1) I've installed WiringPi via NPM. Is it just to install it or is additional configuration necessary?

2) Which application is needed to compile the code? I tried Arduino but just after opening the tool its complaining that only .ino and .pde files can be opened?

Please support me with the compiling step!

Thank you in advance!

1. it should be enough
2. You don't need arduino at all! Just run make

[smartmatic]

Sorry, i dont get it. I need do download the files from Github and add my meter data an mqtt settings. I understood that with make command i program the GPIOs. Please share the command line how to perform the make.

[neutrinus]

The command is make - it uses Makefile to know what it should be doing.

@neutrinus Got it Can you pls tell me in which file i can adjust or define the exact frequency for the cc1101?

@neutrinus Which method did you use to get wiringpi installed? I tried now node and perl but both methods are producing errors. I performed exactly the steps from the docu: https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Perl

Here is the log for the perl method:

Is this project really working?

Nevertheless i tried to compile the code but then the next error is popping up

pi@raspberrypi:~/Documents/everblu-meters-main $ make gcc everblu_meters.c -o everblu_meters -lwiringPi -lmosquitto -lpthread -Wall everblu_meters.c:19:10: fatal error: mosquitto.h: No such file or directory 19 | #include <mosquitto.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:4: main] Error 1

In the file everblu_meters.c is an include for mosquitto.h and indeed there is no file. How should that work?

[neutrinus]

It seems like you miss dependencies:

./build.sh: line 6: swig2.0: command not found

also, please install libmosquitto-dev as you clearly miss it.

switched to another solution which works
