View source for KDL R31772 Windows Install

<u>Note</u>: Depends on [[Eigen 2.0.12 Windows Install|Eigen]].

To install KDL R31772, right-click in your folder and click on '''SVN checkout'''. Paste http://svn.mech.kuleuven.be/repos/orocos/trunk/kdl in the first form slot (URL of repository). The second slot (checkout directory) should look something like: ''E:\robotsuc3mes\openrave''. Change the '''Head Revision''' option to '''Revision''' and specify (type) the number '''31772'''. Click on '''OK'''.

In "kdl/config" you'll find a file called "FindEigen2.cmake". Edit its contents for it to point to the installed Eigen2 directory, normally from  /usr/include /usr/include/eigen2 to "C:/Archivos de programa/Eigen/include" "C:/Archivos de programa/Eigen/include/eigen2" or "C:/Program Files/Eigen/include" "C:/Program Files/Eigen/include/eigen2". Then copy it to the CMake Modules directory (something like C:\Archivos de programa\CMake 2.6\share\cmake-2.6\Modules) to make it available system-wise.

Return to the KDL directory. Create a folder called '''build'''. Open CMake. Use the KDL folder full path in the first form slot (such as ''C:\robotsuc3mes\kdl''), and build full path in the second slot (such as ''C:\robotsuc3mes\kdl\build''). Press '''Configure''', '''Finish''' once selected VS2008, '''Configure''' again, then '''Generate''' once. Close CMake and browse to build, open 

".sln" and open it (it is a MS Visual Studio 2009 solution file). Change build type from '''Debug''' to '''Release'''. Press Build --> '''Build Solution'''. Right-click on '''INSTALL''' from the Solution Explorer of the left, and click on '''BUILD''' from the deployed menu.
