libkindrv

Open source library with libusb-based drivers to control robotic arms by Kinova.

Installing from precompiled packages

If you are on Fedora, you can directly install libkindrv:

# dnf install libkindrv

If you want to develop your application using libkindrv, you should also install libkindrv-devel.

Building from source

The installation procedure is based on cmake and contains nothing more than the usual procedure:

Make a "build" directory inside libkindrv directory
```
mkdir build
```
Run cmake from inside the "build" directory
```
cd build
cmake ..
```
Build the kindrv library
```
make
```
Install the kindrv library (may need root privileges)
```
make install
```
[Optional] Remove "build" directory. Skip this step if you want to allow fast uninstalling.
```
cd ..
rm -rf build
```

Uninstalling

In case you removed the "build" directory, repeat installation steps #1 and #2. Simply execute the following from inside the "build" directory (may need root privileges) :

make uninstall

Documentation

By default, documentation is built when running "make", if Doxygen is available. You can find it in the "doc" directory inside the "build" directory. In order to disable auto-build of documentation, pass "-DBUILD_DOC=OFF" to cmake. Either way, you can always build the documentation by running

make apidoc

from inside the "build" directory.

Other notes:

Of course the default cmake options are availabe, as well as using the GUI version of cmake in installation step #2 with

cd build
ccmake ..
