Installing GNU Robots

[Duncan Bayne]

GNU / Linux
-----------

If you're running Ubuntu or Debian, installation should be as simple
as opening a console & running:

sudo apt-get install -y gnurobots

On other distributions, you can build & install from the source, which
is available here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/gnurobots/


MS Windows / Mac OS X / ...
---------------------------

GNU Robots hasn't yet been ported to other operating systems, but
never fear! You can get going very quickly by running Ubuntu in a
Virtual Machine.

It's quick, easy, and will allow you to run GNU Robots (and try out
Ubuntu) with the minimum of effort. Just follow these steps:

- download VMWare Player from https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=player
and install it

- download an Ubuntu 10.04 image from http://mirrorhosts.com/downloads/vmplanet/VMplanet-Ubuntu10.04

- open the Ubuntu 10.04 image with VMWare Player

There you have it: your very own virtual GNU/Linux environment. Now
you can install GNU Robots as per the instructions in GNU / Linux
above.

Installation on Fedora (or other RPM/Yum based distributions) is just
as easy ...

su -
yum install gnurobots

I have had troubles linking gnurobots.
I needed to replace LDFLAGS with LDADD in the file src/Makefile.am,
from the tar.gz file downloaded from the gnurobots web site -

sed -i s/LDFLAGS/LDADD/g src/Makefile.am
alocal
automake

After the changes I was able to build and install it.
