SeisComP

About

SeisComP is a seismological software for data acquisition, processing, distribution and interactive analysis that has been developed by the GEOFON Program at Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and gempa GmbH.

License

SeisComP is primarily released under the AGPL 3.0. Please check the license agreement.

Asking Questions

Please ask questions in the forums and use appropriate topics to get help on usage or to discuss new features.

If you found a concrete issue in the codes or if you have code related questions please use the Github issue tracker of the corresponding repository, e.g. GitHub issue tracker of this repository.

Checkout the repositories

The SeisComP software collection is distributed among several repositories. This repository only contains the build environment, the runtime framework (seiscomp control script) and the documentation.

To checkout all repositories to build a complete SeisComP distribution the following script can be used:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    echo "$0 <target-directory>"
    exit 1
fi

target_dir=$1
repo_path=https://github.com/SeisComP

echo "Cloning base repository into $target_dir"
git clone $repo_path/seiscomp.git $target_dir

echo "Cloning base components"
cd $target_dir/src/base
git clone $repo_path/seedlink.git
git clone $repo_path/common.git
git clone $repo_path/main.git
git clone $repo_path/extras.git

echo "Cloning external base components"
git clone $repo_path/contrib-gns.git
git clone $repo_path/contrib-ipgp.git
git clone https://github.com/swiss-seismological-service/sed-SeisComP-contributions.git contrib-sed

echo "Done"

cd ../../

echo "If you want to use 'mu', call 'mu register --recursive'"
echo "To initialize the build, run 'make'."

To keep track of the state of each subrepository, mu-repo is a recommended way.

Build

Prerequisites

The following packages should be installed to compile SeisComP:

g++
git
cmake + cmake-gui
libboost
libxml2-dev
flex
libfl-dev
libssl-dev
crypto-dev
python-dev (optional)
python-numpy (optional)
libqt4-dev (optional)
qtbase5-dev (optional)
libmysqlclient-dev (optional)
libpq-dev (optional)
libsqlite3-dev (optional)
ncurses-dev (optional)

The Python development libraries are required if Python wrappers should be compiled which is the default configuration. The development files must match the used Python interpreter of the system. If the system uses Python3 then Python3 development files must be present in exactly the same version as the used Python3 interpreter. The same holds for Python2.

Python-numpy is required if Numpy support is enable which is also the default configuration.

Configuration

The SeisComP build system provides several build options which can be controlled with a cmake gui or from the commandline passing -D[OPTION]=ON|OFF to cmake.

In addition to standard cmake options such as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX the following global options are available:

Option	Default	Description
SC_GLOBAL_UNITTESTS	ON	Whether to build unittests or not. If enabled then use `ctest` in the build directory to run the unittests.
SC_GLOBAL_PYTHON_WRAPPER	ON	Build Python wrappers for the C++ libraries. You should not turn off this option unless you know exactly what you are doing.
SC_GLOBAL_PYTHON_WRAPPER_NUMPY	ON	Add Numpy support to Python wrappers. If enabled then all SeisComP arrays will provide a method `numpy()` which returns a Numpy array representation.
SC_ENABLE_CONTRIB	ON	Enable inclusion of external contributions into the build. This includes all directories in `src/extras`.
SC_GLOBAL_GUI	ON	Enables compilation of GUI components. This requires the Qt libraries to be installed. Either Qt4 or Qt5 are supported. The build will prefer Qt5 if found and will fallback to Qt4 if the Qt5 development libraries are not installed on the host system.
SC_GLOBAL_GUI_QT5	ON	If SC_GLOBAL_GUI is enabled then Qt5 support will be enabled if this option is active. Otherwise only Qt4 will be supported.
SC_DOC_GENERATE	OFF	Enable generation of documentation
SC_DOC_GENERATE_HTML	ON	Enable generation of HTML documentation
SC_DOC_GENERATE_MAN	ON	Enable generation of MAN pages
SC_DOC_GENERATE_PDF	OFF	Enable generation of PDF documentation

Compilation

Clone all required repositories (see above)
Run make
Configure the build
Press 'c' as long as 'g' appears
Press 'g' to generate the Makefiles
Enter the build directory and run make

Installation

Enter the build directory and run make install to install SeisComP
