Robotics Service Bus

h1. Installation

h2. C++

h3. 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 (ubuntu lucid package is ok, can also be installed from GAR installer via contrib/protobuf), in particular

** libprotobuf-dev

** protobuf-compiler

* Optional:

** Doxygen for documentation generation (ubuntu package)

** lcov for coverage report (ubuntu package)

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

<pre>

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

</pre>

* Spread Toolkit for Spread multicast transport extension (lucid ubuntu package does *not* work, due to outdated version 3) 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

h3. Installation of 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 should be as simple as:

<pre>

cd RS{BProtocol,C,B}/build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$prefix && make && make install

</pre>

h2. Python

h3. External Dependencies

* 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, the version automatically installed by setuptools is NOT working!)

* python-protobuf (via ubuntu package python-protobuf or protobuf sources)

h3. Installation

* get sources

* edit setup.cfg and replace protocolroot with the path to the RSBPRobotocol files (e.g. protocolroot=${prefix}/share/rsbprotocol)

<pre>

export PYTHONPATH=$prefix/lib/python2.6/site-packages

python setup.py build

python setup.py install --prefix=$prefix

</pre>

Afterwards, @import rsb@ should be possible in a python shell.

h2. Java

h3. External Dependencies

* libprotobuf-java

* ant

* Optional:

** javadoc

h3. Installation

* Download src from SVN (see front page)

* cd src and edit build.properties according to your installation

* @ant install@ installs jars to prefix of your choice, e.g., ${prefix}/share/java (defined via property)

* for rsb-xml you also need to install XOM (included in RSBJava src or via ubuntu)
