[Gate-users] Prolem with installation ECAT

[Nicola Poles]

Hi Pawel,

I don't know how to solve your particular problem with Ecat, but I can tell you how I finally managed to have it working on my Ubuntu 12.04 32bit system. I found that the installation instructions on the Gate Website were wrong, at least for this version of Ubuntu. The instructions you will find below are different from the instructions in the INSTALL file you will find in the ecat tarball.

Here is what I did. You should start from scratch, so I suggest you recreate your ecat directory. Then, from within that directory, do:

cp Makefile.unix Makefile
make clean (this should clean up any file a previous "make" command might have created)
make
mkdir include
cp *.h include/
mkdir lib
cp libecat.a lib/

I found that copying libecat.a in lib/Linux-g++ instead of just lib/ prevented cmake to recognize the ecat home directory during the configuration of Gate. 

Regarding the utilities, I can't help you. Despite my best efforts, I never managed to compile them. Maybe someone else might help you out.

I hope this will help you.

Best regards,

Nicola Poles
