============ INTRODUCTION ============ The RoboCup Soccer Simulator Monitor (rcssmonitor) is used to view the simulation as it takes place by connecting to the rcssserver or to view the playback of a simulation by connecting to the rcsslogplayer. =========== QUICK START =========== From the rcssmonitor directory execute: `./configure' `make' This will built the neccesary binaries to get you up and running. `rcssmonitor/src/rcssmonitor' is the binary for the monitor. =========== CONFIGURING =========== Before you can build The RoboCup Soccer Simulator Monitor you will need to run the `configure' script located in the root of the distribution directory. The default configuration will set up to install the monitor components in the following location: /usr/local/bin for the executables You may need administrator privilages to install the monitor into the default location. This locations can be modified by using configure's `--prefix=DIR' and related options. See `configure --help' for more details. The monitor has serveral features that can be enabled or disabled at configure time by using the `--enable-FEATURE[=ARG]' or `--disable-FEATURE' parameters to `configure'. `--disable-FEATURE' is equivlant to `--enable-FEATURE=no' and `--enable-FEATURE' is equivlant to `--enable-FEATURE=yes'. The only valid values for `ARG' are `yes' and `no'. ======== BUILDING ======== Once you have successully configured the monitor, simply run `make' to build the sources. ========== INSTALLING ========== When you have completed building the monitor, it's components can be installed into their default locations or the locations specified during configuring by running `make install'. Depending on where you are installing the monitor, you may need special permissions. ============ UNINSTALLING ============ The monitor can also be easily removed by entering the distribution directory and running `make uninstall'. This will remove all the files that where installed, but not any directories that were created during the installation process. ==================== USING THE LOG PLAYER ==================== To start the monitor either type `./rcssmonitor' from the directory containing the executable or `rcssmonitor' If you invoke rcssmonitor with '--help' option, available options are displayed in your console. ============== Making Contact ============== For bug reports, feature requests and latest updates, please goto http://sourceforge.net/projects/sserver/ or email bugs to sserver-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net The RoboCup Soccer Server Maintainance Group sserver-admin@lists.sourceforge.net
