Installation¶

External Dependencies¶

• Boost (mostly dependencies of RSC library), in particular
  • boost::uuid (can be installed from GAR installer via contrib/boost.uuid, maverick: libboost1.42-dev)
  • libboost-thread-dev
  • libboost-filesystem-dev
  • libboost-signals-dev

• Google Protocol Buffers (can also be installed from GAR installer via contrib/protobuf), in particular
  • libprotobuf-java
  • libprotobuf-dev
  • protobuf-compiler

Up to this step, in Maverick installing the dependencies should be as simple as:

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-java libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libboost-thread-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-signals-dev libboost1.42-dev

• Spread Toolkit for Spread multicast transport extension (lucid ubuntu package does not work, due to outdated version 3)
  • Can be installed through GAR installer via contrib/spread or from source

RSBProtocol, RSC, RSB¶

• Check out sources from SVN, see landing page of this and the RSC project
• RSC SVN URL: https://code.cor-lab.org/svn/rsc/trunk/rsc/
• CMake is required to configure the projects, however then it shoud be as simple as:

cd RSBProtocol/build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/vol/cit && make && make install

RSBPython¶

• install python setuptools and python-dev
• spread-python (e.g. via GAR installer, sources can be downloaded here: http://www.spread.org/files/SpreadModule-1.5spread4.tgz
• spread-protobuf (via ubuntu package python-protobuf or protobuf sources)
• extract sources, edit setup.cfg and replace protocolroot with the path to the RSBPRobotocol files ( protocolroot=${prefix}/share/rsbprotocol)

export PYTHONPATH=${prefix}/lib/python2.6/site-packages
python setup.py build
python setup.py install --prefix=${prefix}

After that check with import rsb in a python shell.

RSBJava¶

• install ant ubuntu package
• Download src from SVN (see front page)
• cd src and edit build.properties according to your installation
• ant dist
• install jars to prefix of your choice, e.g., ${prefix}/share/java

Optional¶

• Doxygen for documentation generation (ubuntu package)
• lcov for coverage report (ubuntu package)
