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.

To install ACE 5.7.1.0 (ACE is needed for YARP), click on the following link: http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/previous_versions/ACE-5.7.1.tar.gz and save the file to a given folder. Extract its contents. Rename "ace/config-win32.h" to "ace/config.h". Browse for "ACE_wrappers_vc9.sln" and open it (it is a MS Visual Studio 2009 solution file). Change build type from Debug to Release. Press Build --> Build Solution.

Then install YARP 2.2.6 (YARP is needed for drv_rave). Click on the following link: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/yarp0/yarp-2.2.6.tar.gz and save the file to a given folder. Extract its contents.
