Compiling V-REP and related itemsThe full source code of V-REP, the DYNAMICS PLUGIN, the MESH CALCULATION PLUGIN and the PATH PLANNING PLUGIN may be downloaded from the coppelia robotics website. In short, only EDUCATIONAL ENTITIES (students, teachers, professors, schools or Universities) may do so. Make sure you understand and comply with the licensing conditions before doing so. Other source code items (e.g. various projects, plugins, interfaces, etc.) that are included in the installation packages of V-REP PRO and V-REP PRO EDU are not discussed here. V-REP, the DYNAMICS PLUGIN, the MESH CALCULATION PLUGIN and the PATH PLANNING PLUGIN are Qt projects, and will require you to have Qt installed on your computer. Try to comply with following list of requirements in order to encounter least problems during compilation: Download and install V-REP PRO EDU. Then download the V-REP source code (and optionally the plugin source codes) into the V-REP PRO EDU installation folder. You should have following folder structure:
When using V-REP in conjunction with a plugin, make sure to use the source code / binaries that come from the same release, in order to avoid incompatibilities. Finally, before being able to compile the V-REP project, you will have to adjust various paths in the v_rep.pro project file, such as: When compiling V-REP under Windows, you might have to place a copy of the precompiled header (vrepPrecompiledHeader.h) into the release folder, to avoid having the compiler complaining. |
