JCT Software Package
This is the primary software package for the JCT experiment containing all of our source code for the main software platform used to conduct the experiments, along with various tools developed for analysing the data. The software supports export to various formats, including ELAN and the NITE XML Toolkit, which are available separately.
Please note the following information from the README file:
Important Notice: This source code is provided as a service to the community, but some manual modifications will be required to get it working in your particular computing environment. Note in particular the following: 1. The main JCT software (in directory software/jast_src/JCT) uses a number of third party libraries, which are not included. Details of these are given below. 2. Most of the C++ programs in this release were developed using Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVS). MSVS project files (.vcproj) and solution files (.sln) are included in the release to provide an example of what is required to build and link the programs. However, even if you have MSVS, these files will need to be edited to find the required third-party libraries in your environment. No other makefiles are provided, but the .vcproj file shows which libraries would need to be included in a makefile. ---- Contents of Release: 00LICENSE-JAST-SOFTWARE-RELEASE.txt License file 00README-JAST-SOFTWARE-RELEASE.txt Readme file (this file) software Directory for software source code L jast_src | L JCT The main JCT software | L ellipsegen Small utility for generating vertices | representing an ellipse L JASTAnalyser Tool to take ASCII files from JCT | software and convert to GDF format | suitable for use with most of our | analysis tools L gdf2nxt Tools to convert GDF format to NXT format, | suitable for further analysis L JASTEDF2MPG Tool for generating MPG movies from | JCT output L JASTModelBuilder Tool for generating models to be used in JCT experiments ---- Third Party Libraries: To build the JCT software in software/jast_src/JCT, it needs to link to the following third party libraries: * SDL (http://www.libsdl.org) We used version 1.2.8 * SDL_gfx (http://www.ferzkopp.net/~aschiffler/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0/) We used version 2.0 * SGE (http://freshmeat.net/projects/sge/) [also requires the freetype219.lib library] The source files that we used from the SGE library are actually included in this distribution in the software/jast_src/JCT, along with the license file in software/jast_src/JCT/sge_license.txt. But note that you still need to freetype library and any other dependencies listed on the SGE website. * Xerces (http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/) We used version 2.6.0 * Simple Sockets (COSMIC) (http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/ssl/) [also requires the Microsoft WinSockets2 library, Ws2_32.lib] We used version 6 (dated 24 Mar 2005)

Drift Correction Software
The drift correction software developed as part of the JAST project is also available for the benefit of other users of the Eyelink II who wish to do eyetracking over a video. This software requires ffmpeg (which is included in binary form in the package). There is also an alpha version of software to add eye-trace data to an existing video.
