RobWork Virtual machine

[Stigaard]

After all the frustation in class friday, I decided to throw together
a quick virtual machine with the robwork installation, it is based on
ubuntu linux, and RobWork is compiled using a makefile based system
(if you wish to change this into eclipse that should be fairly easy).

I have no plans for maintaining the virtual image, as it is meant
simply as a tool for the first assignment to avoid stalling the
lectures because of robwork issues.

The image is made as a sun virtual box image as that allows for
redirection of the OpenGL calls to the host GPU, which should limit
the performance penalty.

The image can be downloaded from http://depositfiles.com/files/cbkbjk5u3
I recommend downloading it from home as I'm unsure about how many
connections are allowed from the same IP from this hosting service.

I probably also need to mention that I have no affiliation with
RobWork, other than taking the Rob01 class, and they can therefore not
be held responsible for any errors in the image, furthermore I would
like to mention that you are using the image at solely your own risk.
If something doesn't work don't write to my email, but use the forum.

Good luck with the first assignment

Hi Jens,

I'm a not entirely sure I understand your problem. What virtual machine are
you talking about?

Regarding rebuilding the libs then I allways make sure to delete the
CMakeCache.txt file that cmake generates. This forces cmake to rebuild all
project files.

Could be nice with some more information, like what compiler do you use. I
expect that you do something like these two lines:


cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILDTYPE=Release ../..
make

what does the make command write in the prompt?

Cheers Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

I thought I was fast enough to remove my post.

I used the virtual machine mentioned in the post above. But nevermind.
As always after some days testing and finally asking other people, it
took me just a few minutes more to find the problem.

I feel a little bit ashamed but the problem was a basic one. I just
forgot to call "make all".

Thx for your reply.
Jens
