    613 <u>Linux Build:</u> Static library and shared library builds for BNC are provided for a selection of Linux distributions. Download the ZIP archive for a version which fits to your Linux system, unzip the archive and run the included BNC binary. For Linux, static and shared builds of BNC are made available. A <u>static</u> build would be sufficient in case you don't want BNC to trace PPP results using Google Map (GM) or OpenStreetMap (OSM). Note that GM/OSM usage requires BNC builds from <u>shared</u> libraries.

GM/OSM usage requires BNC builds from shared libraries.

    617617<u>Mac OS X Build:</u>
    618 A shared library 'Disk iMaGe' (DMG) file is provided for BNC on OS X systems. It also comes in a ZIP archive. The DMG file format is used in the Mac for distributing software. Mac install packages appear as a virtual disk drive. After download, when the DMG file icon is double clicked, the virtual drive is 'mounted' on the desktop. Install BNC by dragging the 'bnc.app' icon to your '/Applications' folder. To start BNC, double click on '/Applications/bnc.app'. You could also start BNC via Command Line Interface (CLI) using command '/Applications/bnc.app/Contents/MacOS/bnc'.

    622 BNC has been written as Open Source and published under GNU General Public License (GPL). The latest source code can be checked out from Subversion repository <u>http://software.rtcm-ntrip.org/svn/trunk/BNC</u>. A ZIP archive available from <u>http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/download</u> provides the source code used for BNC Version 2.12.0 and developed using Qt Version 4.8.5. The following describes how you can produce your own builds of BNC on MS Windows, Linux, and Mac systems. It is likely that BNC can also be compiled on other systems where a GNU compiler and Qt Version 4.8.5 or any later version are installed.

    625625<p><b>Static versus Shared Libraries</b><br>
    626 You can produce static or shared builds of BNC. Static builds are sufficient in case you don't want BNC to produce track maps using Google Map (GM) or Open StreetMap (OSM). GM/OSM usage would require the QtWebKit library which can only be part of BNC builds from shared libraries. Hence, producing a shared library BNC build requires that you first install your own shared library of Qt.
     626You can produce static or shared builds of BNC. <u>Static</u> builds are sufficient in case you don't want BNC to produce track maps on top of Google Map (GM) or Open StreetMap (OSM). GM/OSM usage would require the QtWebKit library which can only be part of BNC builds from <u>shared</u> Qt libraries. Hence, having a shared library Qt installation available is a precondition for producing a shared library build of BNC.

    634 <li>Supposing that 'Secure Socket Layer (SSL)' is not available on you system, you should install OpenSSL libraries in C:\OpenSSL-Win32. They are availabel e.g. from http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1e.exe. See <u>http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html</u> for other SSL resources. Ignore possible comments about missing components during installation.</li>

    715715<u>Xcode and Qt Installation</u><br>
    716 Xcode and Qt are required to compile BNC on OS X. Both tools are freely available. Xcode can be downloaded from the App Store or the Apple Developer Connection website. Once installed, run Xcode, go to Preferences -> Downloads and install the Command Line Tools component. Qt can be downloaded from the QT Project website. Note that as of version 2.6 BNC requires Qt version 4.7.3 or higher due to SSL. The Qt libraries for Mac can be downloaded from http://qt-project.org/downloads. Once downloaded, mount the disk image, run the Qt.mpkg package and follow the instructions from the installation wizard.
