Cannot compile V-REP. Items seems to be missing

Post by alphaUser »

Hi,

When trying to compile v_rep, I get many errors. It seems some items are missing. What am I doing wrong?

Did you follow the compilation instructions from the user manual?

Basically you should first install V-REP PRO or V-REP PRO EDU. That installation package contains a programming folder that is needed during compilation (i.e. contains some common source code).
Also remember. V-REP compiles to a shared library (typically v_rep.dll, libv_rep.dylib or libv_rep.so). You will need a client application to start that library. You can either use the one that is already compiled in the V-REP PRO or V-REP PRO EDU package, or you can compile the client application yourself. In that case refer to the projects "programming/v_repClientApplication" or "programming/windowsOnlyProjects/v_repClientApplication".

Finally, don't forget that the V-REP library itself relies on other libraries that are required (e.g. the Lua library, etc.)

Cheers
