Build instructions #5

I am trying to build this repo, since the APP is not working for me on Ubuntu 20.04

The INSTALL file, line 9, has this info

  - change directory to QCSXCAD

Is it right, o it should say AppCSXCAD?

Yes that looks like a copy paste error... But I recommend to build everything at once using the openEMS-Project?

Cool, thanks. I can submit a fix if you agree.

So, my history is this...

I installed openEMS from the OS package manager. I think it has the AppCSXCAD and works just fine out of the box.

Then later I was trying to execute this pcbmodelgen application that converts Kicad boards to analyze with openEMS. So, I was having a bad time with that. And then I tried to build the openEMS manually.

This manual build messed with my previous installation. Then I was making progress fixing some issues in the build system, but I was not able to build the AppCSXCAD. This is why I was investigating here.

Long story short, I was able to fix my installation a couple of hours ago. The issue was that the old/wrong/different version of the libCSXCAD.so was standing in front of the right one.

My fix was just a matter of adjusting the symbolic link of the library that was being used for the openEMS/AppCSXCAD

➜ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libCSXCAD.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libCSXCAD.so.0
