Files

To build

cd /path/to/plugins
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DOROCOS_TARGET=macosx -DENABLE_CORBA=OFF
make

For other operating systems substitute the appopriate value for "macosx" when setting OROCOS_TARGET (e.g. "gnulinux").

Tested in Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7. Click below to read the rest of this post.
