Build Instructions

Linux and Mac Users

To build on Linux and Apple platforms, execute the build script within this directory:

   $ ./build.sh

To build without using the supplied script, execute the following commands within this directory:

   $ mkdir -p build
   $ cd build
   $ cmake ../
   $ make
   $ cd ..

Windows Users

To build on Windows platform, open CMake using your favorite shortcut. Then set the source directory to be this directory and set the build directory to the "build" directory inside this directory.

The source directory is typically next to the question: "Where is the source code?"

The build directory is typically next to the question: "Where to build the binaries?"

Alternatively, CMake can be invoked via the command line. However, you must specify your generator. Use "cmake --help" for a list of generators and additional help.

Environment variables

The moos-ivp-extend binaries files should be added to your path to allow them to be launched from pAntler.

In order for generated IvP Behaviors to be recognized by the IvP Helm, you should add the library directory to the "IVP_BEHAVIOR_DIRS" environment variable.
