Install on (K)UBUNTU
This is intended as a guidance to install MOBOTWARE
The platform tested is KUBUNTU, but should be much the same on UBUNTU.
KUBUNTU version 10.4
After successfully installing KUBUNTU, install the following packages
e.g. install a package from the command-prompt like:
$ sudo apt-get install cmake
Needed packages:
- subversion - gcc - g++ - svn - cmake - doxygen (for documentation only) - libcv-dev - libhighgui-dev - libraw1394-dev - libpng-dev - ncurses-dev - pciutils-dev - libreadline-dev
SVN Source
Get the source from our repository:
You need logon access to timmy.elektro.dtu.dk - talk to Nils Nielsen building 326.
make a directory for the mobotware:
mkdir ~/mobotware cd ~/mobotware
Get the source (checkout)
svn co svn+ssh://[timmy username]@timmy.elektro.dtu.dk/home/project-users/rse/svnrepo .
You will need to supply password 3-4 times!, to avoid this you may look at RSE SVN
Prepare to compile
Some of the current cameradrivers are not compatible with latest firewire drivers in ubuntu, so disable, as instructed in AU Robot Servers section installation without FIREWIRE
goto the created mobotware directory and make the package
make
This should now compile the set of needed libraries and applications (some need make in its subdirectory)
Maintain SVN source
New version is fetched from command prompt by:
cd ~/mobotware svn update
When you have changed a file send it back to the svn-repository from the directory with the file one of the parent folders known to svn.
svn commit
To add a new set of files, just make a new set of source files - preferably in a new directory - and add the new directory by (e.g. called foo):
svn add foo
This adds the directory and all the files in it, if too many files were added
Test
