Bug 185116 – New ebuild: player-2.0.4.ebuild - Player is a network server for robot control.

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 26373
• Product: Gentoo Linux

"Player is a network server for robot control. Running on your robot, Player provides a clean and simple interface to the robot's sensors and actuators over the IP network. Your client program talks to Player over a TCP socket, reading data from sensors, writing commmands to actuators, and configuring devices on the fly."

Player supports a lot of drivers. I think would be useful to have a new USE_EXPAND: PLAYER_DRIVERS
This ebuild already uses that.

I also patched libdc1394 detection in the configure script since it was searching in a wrong dir.

This is a big package with lots of dependencies, I didn't test them all.
There are some drivers that have their own dependencies whose this ebuild is not checking. Although I hope this ebuild would be a good starting point.

Cheers,
Ângelo Arrifano

PS: Gazebo and Stage ebuilds (from the same project) are coming too..

Reproducible: Always

The patch needed by ebuild.

[Comment 3 Angelo Arrifano (RETIRED) 2007-07-14 19:48:28 UTC]

After stumbling across every driver of player package I thought that will be better to use already existing global use flags instead of a use expand.

In this new ebuild the drivers are compiled (or not) depending on the user chosen use flags. I think this is the wanted and default behavior of packages in portage.

For instance, if use flag gtk and ieee1394 are enabled. All drivers that need gtk and ieee1394 all built.

The patch isn't needed anymore.. I guess I was confused about the two libdc1394 APIs.

I also added the package doxygen dependency when use flag doc is enabled, since doxygen is needed to build documentation.

There were drivers that depended on packages that are not in portage. I have them commented out in ebuild. They are never compiled.

I hope this helps whoever will be the future package maintainer.

PS: See #185298 for stage package ebuild that make part of same project.
