[What is this?]

This starter kit includes an installer, an uninstaller and a script to rebuild the mi-lib. They run on Ubuntu (and might run on Debian though we did not try to do it).

mi-lib is a collection of libraries developed for the robot control and simulation. The libraries include: ZEDA - Elementary Data and Algorithms ZM - a handy mathematics library neuZ - neural network library DZco - digital control library Zeo - Z/Geometry and optics computation library RoKi - Robot Kinetics library ZX11 - a wrapper for interface library to the X Window System LIW - Linux Wizard to assist system dependent operations on Linux RoKi-GL - Robot Kinetics library: visualization using OpenGL

[Installation / Uninstallation]

install

Edit PREFIX in config in order to specify where the libraries are to be installed, if necessary.

Do:

% scripts/mi-lib-install [clone/deb]

The meanings of the command-line options are as follows. clone: Source codes of the libraries are cloned from the GitHub repositories. deb: The libraries are installed from Debian packages under deb/. If the option is omitted, source codes without Git information are downloaded from the repositories.

uninstall

Do:

% scripts/mi-lib-uninstall [deb]

where deb option is valid only when the libraries are installed from Debian packages.

[How to use]

Set your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables, if necessary. This is done by

% export PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin
% export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PREFIX/lib

for Bourne shell family (bash, zsh, etc.), or by:

% set path = ( $path $PREFIX/bin )
% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$PREFIX/lib

for C shell family (csh, tcsh, etc.).
