Player/Stage/Gazebo Pre-compiled Packages

While we generally recommend that users build Player, Stage and Gazebo from source distributions (if it was good enough for my grandpappy, etc.), a number of scripts and pre-compiled solutions are available to help ease the pain.

We make no guarantees regarding the correctness, completeness or currency of these packages; use at your own risk.

That being said, scroll down the page for links to and notes on the available package choices. Questions should be directed to the user mailing list or the package authors.

Linux/Gentoo

  • Requires: Linux Gentoo
  • Provides: Player, Stage, Gazebo

Gentoo ebuilds for Player, Stage and Gazebo can be found here (thanks to Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal):

Installation instructions are as follows:

  • Unpack the tarball in /usr/local/portage :
        $ cd /usr/local/portage
        $ tar xvzf gazebo-portage.tar.gz
        

  • In /etc/make.conf file, set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY path:
        PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
        
    This tells portage to look in the specified path for additional ebuilds.

  • In /etc/portage/package.keywords, add:
        dev-games/ode ~x86
        
    This unmasks the ebuild for ode-0.5

  • Emerge as-per-normal:
        $ emerge gazebo
        $ emerge player
        $ emerge stage
        

Note that the ebuild for Player supports a number of local USE flags to control optional components. For a complete list, type:

$ emerge -p -v player

For example, to build Player with support for Gazebo, use this:

$ USE="gazebo" emerge -p player

You can achieve the same result by editing the contents of /etc/portage/package.use:

app-sci/player gazebo

This has the advantage that you don't have to remember the correct USE flags every time you emerge Player.

OS X/Fink/Gazebo

  • Requires: OS X Fink
  • Provides: Gazebo 0.5 dependencies

Lars Cremean has kindly provide a shell script that will install the required dependencies for Gazebo. This script will apt-get binaries when they are available, and install from source when they are not.

Run this script from a console, then proceed with the source-based Gazebo installation:

Linux/Debian

  • Requires: Linux Debian
  • Provides: Player, Stage, Gazebo .deb's
