How to get started developing on this project

Working on r2

• get access to r2 by following instructions at https://rcs.boisestate.edu/request-support/

Working locally

• Using CentOS 7
• gsl 2.4 from: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-2.4.tar.gz

• gdal 2.2.2 from: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/DownloadSource#a2.2.2-September2017
• follow theses instructions modified from https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildingOnUnix

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

• test that gdal installed with gdalinfo --version

• add the library path for the linker export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

C++ Project coding guidelines

• naming: snake_case
• no global objects
• reduce coupling (avoid adding new dependencies)
• avoid OO styles for this code (inheritance, abstraction, polymorphism)

Testing the code

• Think about how you can test your function
• Refactor tests as you code
• Red (failing) tests shouldn't be ignored
