Precompiled packages

Binary packages are available for the BFL project as well as for all the libraries BFL depends on, such as LTI and the MatrixWrapper. The packages are based on the BFL trunk of April 20th 2007, and are updated regularly.

Ubuntu/Debian
Wim Meeussen contributed Debian/Ubuntu packages for BFL. Just add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~tdelaet/bfl <em>mydistro</em> main

where mydistro is either <b>breezy</b>, dapper, edgy or feisty and run
apt-get update
apt-get install orocos-bfl

(tested with ubuntu [breezy/dapper/edgy/feisty] and debian [testing] distros.

Since these packages are compiled with gcc 4.x, this does not work out of the box for Debian Sarge [current stable], see this post).

Rpms
Try adding the following yum repository to your yum configuration file (untested for now), see this post.
