Hi Bryan,

 

The Windows support in aravis is very new.  The Windows GigEVision support was added less than a year ago, and I was not aware of it.  ADAravis and aravisGigE currently only work on Linux.

 

The aravis documentation does explain how to install aravis on Windows using msys2 (gcc) or using MSVC.  Once it is installed it should be possible change ADAravis to build with it on Windows, but it will definitely require work.

 

If there is not a strong reason to use Windows I would suggest using Linux instead.  It should just work out of the box.

 

Alternatively, the Basler Pylon SDK works on both Linux and Windows.  A driver using that SDK could be written, as I have done with ADSpinnaker and ADVimba for other vendor SDKs.

 

Mark

Subject: Connecting Basler camera with areaDetector on Windows

 

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect a Basler camera with areaDetector. I saw in a previous tech-talk (https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2020/msg00388.php) that the aravisGigE and ADAravis modules should work with basler. I would prefer to use ADAravis since it is newer and better optimized, but when reading the documentation, I saw that ADAravis explicitly states that it cannot be used on windows because the underlying library aravis does not support it  (https://areadetector.github.io/master/ADAravis/ADAravis.html) but in the aravis documentation it gives instruction on how to install on windows (https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis).  Then with aravidGigE the documentation says it works on windows but then only gives instruction on how to install on lunix.

The questions I have are

  1. Can ADAravis be used on windows?
  2.  
  3. Given a set of instructions for installing on lunix how can I adapt those to install on windows?
  4.  

Thanks,

Bryan
