1. Introduction

Mobile Robot Programming Toolkit (MRPT) includes libraries and tools aimed to help researchers in the areas of mobile robotics and computer vision in the development of efficient implementations with reusability of code as a priority. It features classes for easily managing 3D(6D) geometry, probability density functions (pdfs) over many predefined variables (points,landmarks,poses,maps,...), Bayesian inference (Kalman filters, particle filters), image processing, obstacle avoidance, etc.

3. Compiling

1. Invoke cmake-gui and select:

   • Where source is --> MRPT source root directory
   • Where to build binaries --> Pick a new, empty directory.

   If your platform doesn't support cmake-gui, open a console, chdir to a new empty directory and execute:

   $ ccmake <PATH_TO_MRPT_SOURCES>
   

2. Within cmake-gui (or ccmake), set all the build options as you desire, then press "Configure" and "Generate". To build the examples, enable "BUILD_SAMPLES".

3. Build with the IDE / compiler you selected from CMake (Visual Studio, GNU Make,...)

Read the compiling instructions.
