Drv rave Windows Install

The following is a guide for compilation of drv_rave on a MS Windows Operating System (click here for Ubuntu guide). Most installs are from source and correct version is assured following the Modules - Dependency Version specification (compatibility!). Source tarballs can also be found at http://robots.uc3m.es/svn/ASIBOTcoderepo/branches/v02/tars (permanent links!).

First, you must install Tortoise SVN, CMake, MS Virtual Studio 2009 (requires license), and possibly WinRAR.

Then install ACE 5.7.1.0 (ACE is needed for YARP).

Then install YARP 2.2.6 (YARP is needed for drv_rave).

Then install Openrave R1457 (OpenRave is needed for drv_rave). Right-click in your folder and click on SVN checkout. Paste https://openrave.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openrave/trunk 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 1457. Run runcmake_win.bat.

Note that this extracts a slightly hacked version of Boost 1.39 for win32.
Any problems should be pointed out in the discussion tab.

Open CMake. Use the OpenRAVE folder full path in the first form slot (such as C:\robotsuc3mes\openrave), and build full path in the second slot (such as C:\robotsuc3mes\openrave\build). Press Configure, Finish once selected VS2008, Configure again, then Generate once. Close CMake and browse to build, open "openrave.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.
