installing source-code package

Postby Greg H » Wed Jan 09, 2013 3:57 pm

I am new user of argos2 simulator.

I have downloaded the source-code and example-code.

I managed to compile both.
But I was stuck while trying to install argos with ./make_distribution.sh script on my ubuntu virtual machine.

My issue was due to latex paquet missing.
So it was stuck while trying to add documentation.

The solution for ubuntu users was to :
sudo apt-get install texlive
which is the minimal latex paquet required.

Enjoy, :)

You should also think about installing libXi and libXmu basic plus develepoment package.

Please do remember, while resolving dependencies issues to compile argos2 subfolder using the clean parameter at the end
eg : ./build.sh debug clean

otherwise CMAKE does not check for new dependency and skip the according part from compiling.
Thus, you have no error after compilation ends... but still some packets are not compiled !!

it was my case with opengl which were added at the end only, and give me troubles for rendering.

All the Best !!
