Contents of the LWPR library
(C) 2007 Stefan Klanke and Sethu Vijayakumar
sethu.vijayakumar@ed.ac.uk
The library is freely available under the terms of the LGPL
with an exception that allows for static linking, see the
file COPYING.
Please see the file INSTALL.TXT for installation instructions.
Inside the top-level directory created after unzipping the archive,
there are several subdirectories that contain sources, include files
and documentation for programming languages other than Matlab:
doc
contains supplementary documentation and hints how to tune
learning parameters etc.
matlab
contains the Matlab functions (.m files). To use the LWPR library
from Matlab, all you have to do is to add this directory to your
Matlab path, and to run "lwpr_buildmex" within Matlab in order to
build the MEX wrappers. Recent versions of Octave (2.9.12 or later)
are compatible with Matlab's MEX-interface, and thus the build
script we provide works in that environment as well.
include
C header files of the LWPR library.
C++ header (lwpr.hh) file for wrapping the C library as a C++ class
src
C sources.
mexsrc / mexoct
C sources of Matlab/Octave MEX-wrappers, as well as directives
for building them using GNU autotools. On Windows, building
the MEX files is handled by the script lwpr_buildmex, so
probably you will not have to look into these.
example_c
contains a simple demo that shows how to use the library from
a C program.
example_cpp
contains a demo how to use the C++ wrapper to call the LWPR library
in C++ style.
python
contains a Python extension module for LWPR, written in C, and
also a Python script demonstrating its usage. If you have Python's
distutils installed, you can build the extension using setup.py,
otherwise try the included Makefile on a Linux/Unix system.
Please note that you need to have "numpy" already installed on
your system.
html
contains documentation for the C and C++ modules as generated
by Doxygen.
VisualC
Visual Studio "solutions" and project files. Only tested with
Visual Studio Express 2008.
MingW
Contains a simple Makefile for building the C library and
examples on Windows using the MinGW compiler. Probably also
works with Cygwin.
tests
Contains a simple test program (written in C) that checks
some aspects of the library during a "make check" call
on UNIX-like systems.
