Updating to Chai3D version 3
This will help you resolve application errors that occur after an update to master version fe35077f60fb5f3de34d9d275afcaf6060fde3b2 or later.
- First install libglew
- Ubuntu 12.04 and later:
$ sudo apt-get install libglew1.6-dev
- Ubuntu 10.04 etc:
$ sudo apt-get install libglew1.5-dev
- Ubuntu 12.04 and later:
- After installing libglew, you will have to add a -lGLEW to your makefile, or GLEW library dependency in your cmake file. Eg. Replace
target_link_libraries(fmri_forces gomp GL GLU glut ncurses usb-1.0 pthread rt pci z)
withtarget_link_libraries(fmri_forces gomp GL GLU **GLEW** glut ncurses usb-1.0 pthread rt pci z)
- After doing that, go to applications_linux/scl_lib and
$ sh make_everything.sh
- If that doesn't work, please go to the appropriate directory and delete the older build files. Sometimes stale cmake files etc. introduce weird errors.
$ rm -rf build_*
- If that doesn't work, please go to the appropriate directory and delete the older build files. Sometimes stale cmake files etc. introduce weird errors.
- Next, chai 3.0 uses namespace chai3d.
- Recommended: Add a chai3d:: namespace scope operator to all the chai objects you are using
- Hacky: Add a
using namespace chai3d;
at the top of your .cpp file. Do not add it to a .h file, which forces this "fix" on others.
- Finally, chai 3.0 has stopped using Eigen. So you will have to fix functions that pass Eigen vectors to chai.
- In a nutshell, create a temp vector.
- Copy the Eigen vector to the temp vector
- Pass the temp vector to chai's function.
- Yeah it's a bit inefficient.. ;-)
- Eg.
tmp_eigen_vector3 = state_x_des_curr_task-box_xyz_translate_center; //Do your eigen computations earlier tmp_plain_vector[0] = tmp_eigen_vector3(0); tmp_plain_vector[1] = tmp_eigen_vector3(1); tmp_plain_vector[2] = tmp_eigen_vector3(2); //Explicit call chai_haptic_box_des_yellow->setLocalPos(tmp_plain_vector[0],tmp_plain_vector[1],tmp_plain_vector[2]);
