Some problems of building Virtual AGC Back

Virtual AGC (Apollo Guidance Computer) is used for simulating the real AGC, the DSKY of the real Apollo Guidance System. For personal interest, I have decided to build this project (another one with translation into traditional chinese), and know more about Apollo's plan. Here, I will write down some problems of the process with a documenting way.

Here, I just use a Ubuntu 14.04 OS system to build:

  1. Download a development tarball firstly: https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/Downloads/

    Here I would like to build with yaAGC-dev-20100220.tar.bz2

  2. Then, the following step should be unpacking:

    $ tar --bzip2 -xf yaAGC-dev-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2

  3. After, building the project with enter the directory, yaAGC:

cdyaAGCcd yaAGC make ``` Notice that, you should not run configure and make install

- Problems: **/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses**
- Solutions: 
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install libcurses-ocaml-dev
```

<br />

- Problems: **fatal error: wx/wx.h: No such file or directory**
- Solutions:
```bash
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev
```

4. To match the default setup: bash $ mv yaAGC/VirtualAGC/temp/lVirtualAGC ~/VirtualAGC 5. After installation, we can run it by executing files of ~/VirtualAGC/bin

$ ~/VirtualAGC/bin/VirtualAGC
