Info
These are instructions for compiling GMAT on Linux as a 32-bit application, using command-line tools. Please note that GMAT is not rigorously tested on this platform. If you find bugs, please submit them to JIRA!The instructions below document an old version of the GMAT build procedure.  Current GMAT builds are generated using the Cmake build system, as documented on the Compiling GMAT (CMake Build System) page.
Note

These instructions were copied from Building on Mac. If you see Mac-specific details here (or Linux-specific details missing), please update them.

  1. Download wxGTK 2.8.12 from http://wxwidgets.org.
  2. Unzip and untar the downloaded file.
  3. In a Terminal, run the following commands from the new wxGTK-2.8.12 directory (replacing /path/to/wxGTK-2.8.12 with the absolute path to your wxGTK-2.8.12 directory): 
    chmod a+x ./configure
    mkdir build-gmat
    cd build-gmat
    ../configure --prefix=/path/to/wxGTK-2.8.12/build-gmat --with-opengl
  4. Run make to compile the wxGTK libraries:
    make
  5. Run make install to install the libraries and correctly set install paths. This is necessary due to bug GMT-3021.
    make install
