MOOS-IVP
The moos-ivp tree is a bundle of software modules comprising the core publicly available software of the MOOS-IvP project. It is a nested repository and contains a snapshot of the MOOS middleware from Oxford, plus numerous MOOS applications from MIT and Oxford, including the IvP Helm.
This file gives GNU/Linux-specific steps for building and running MOOS-IvP software.
Testing is primarily done on Ubuntu 12.2LTS 32bit and 64bit. We are happy to feedback from user of other GNU/Linux distros.
Packages you probably already have installed:
g++ - GNU C++ compiler subversion - Advanced version control system cmake - cross-platform, open-source make system xterm - X terminal application
Additional packages:
libfltk1.3-dev - Fast Light Toolkit - development files freeglut3-dev - OpenGL Utility Toolkit development files libpng12-dev - PNG library - development libjpeg-dev - Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library libxft-dev - FreeType-based font drawing library for X libxinerama-dev - X11 Xinerama extension library (development headers) libtiff5-dev - Tag Image File Format library (TIFF), development files
To do it all, cut and paste this:
sudo apt-get install g++ subversion xterm cmake libfltk1.3-dev freeglut3-dev libpng12-dev libjpeg-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev libtiff4-dev
NOTE: As of this date we are no longer including FLTK as part of the MOOS-IvP tree. If you have trouble finding FLTK 1.3 in your system's package manager, we recommend that you install from the source code from the FLTK website.
./build-moos.sh ./build-ivp.sh
When you build the MOOS-IvP software, the executable programs are placed in the "moos-ivp/bin" subdirectory of the source code tree.
We recommend that you put the absolute path to this directory into your PATH environment variable. This is especially important because the "pAntler" program, which can launch other MOOS/IvP programs, relies on the PATH variable to find those programs.
We normally just add lines to our ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc files to always append these two directories to the PATH environment variable.
