Hi,

I am new to using Orocos thus some question I ask may sounds noob. I hope I can get some help here.

I am trying to use Eclipse to interface with Orocos. In Eclipse, I have already installed the C/C++ Development Tools and thus able to write cpp test programs. Thus the next step for me is to build an Orocos file.

I have also previously written some RTT/OCL codes and successfully compiled, build and linked them using the makefile method that was taught in the RTT installation mannual. Thus it can be assume that there is no syntax or logical errors.

>From what I understand in http://www.orocos.org/wiki/rtt/eclipse/another-way-using-eclipse-and-orocos, I am supposed to do the following:

1. Create New Cpp project
2. Name project and click finish
3. Import dialogue->General->file system->next
4. Find root->Find source sand box
//What is source sand box?
//I am creating a new project from scratch here, do I have a "sand box"
//what is path to rtt-1.10.x
//Does it measn I path to the RTT headers files??
// Sorry for the noob question
5. Change build properties, Select cpp build -> builder setting -> deselect:
'Use default build command'
'Generate Makefiles automatically'
6.Change build directory to:
//workspace_loc (the Eclipse workspace?)
//:/rtt_1.10.2/build (sorry where can I find this?)
7.Run->External Tools->External Tools Configurations... ->Program ->New
//Name: CMake
//Location: /usr/bin/cmake (location of my cmake executables)
//Working Directory: ${workspace_loc:}/${project_name}/build
//Arguments: .. -DOROCOS_TARGET=gnulinux -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
8.Apply->Close.
9.Create a new Folder in your folder named build, Run->External Tools->CMake
10. Build

Again if I had an existing file, I should:

1. File -> import... (the folder from my working dir)
2. Finish
// Do I need to do step 5 to 8 again?

The help rendered is greatly appreaciated.

Regards
John
