Download the source code:
svn co http://freehal.org/code/hal2009Go to your source directory:
cd hal2009Use CMake to generate the makefile:
./configureCompile FreeHAL:
make hal2009-serverTo compile the GUI, change into the GUI directory:
cd gui-qtUse qmake to generate the GUI source code:
qmakeCompile the GUI:
makeThe executable file for the GUI is now in the folder
gui-qt/bin/ and is called freehal. If you do not want to start the GUI and server components separately, the GUI should be copied into the FreeHAL core, to be started from there:cp bin/freehal ..Switch back to your source directory:
cd ..And finally, start FreeHAL:
./freehalBack to Documentation
