Robocop Meeting, Tue Sept 15th

* Issues:
	-no one has access to the repositories with the starter code
	-non-UofT people haven't been given a cdf account yet
 
* We should set up a mailing list for the project. Options:
	- create a google group
	- set up a mailing list on DrProject when we get access

* Idea: Use reviewvoard
<Chani> one of the other teams will be using reviewboard, and I'm used to it from KDE, so I think it'd be a good thing to have.
<Chani> alexnico: it's a web thing; we'd need it set up on a server somewhere, and it needs access to our svn repo.
<Chani> perhaps we could ask the MarkUs guys where they're hosting their reviewboard server
<Brent_M> Greg Wilson should be able to provide us with a place to host it if need be

* Useful links:
	- message board for the summer term: https://csc.cdf.toronto.edu/bb/YaBB.pl?board=CSC494H1Y
	- sample robocup client : http://jmvidal.cse.sc.edu/biter/

* Problems compiling and running the server and monitor
<Brent_M> I cant even get the rcssserver to install properly so I haven't been able to do much, besides read the manual a few times
<alexnico> Brent_M : Did you able to compile the code?
<yulia> Brent, what OS are you on?
<Brent_M> I'm using ubuntu through VMware
<pgornicz> errors?
<philip> Don't seem to be able to get any code out of the repository. I know there were a few issues with our group.
<Brent_M> I can do the configuring but when I run the make file it gives me a syntax error in coach_lang_parser.ypp
<philip> How easy it is to build the rcssserver code depends a lot on what distro you're using.
<Chani> o.0
<pgornicz> i had a bit of trouble running the monitor due to font issues, changing the config file helped with that, no compile issues here though
<Brent_M> well, its ubuntu 8.04, I had to use an older version so that it'd run at a decent speed
<philip> The default Fedora 8 one seems to have just about everything installed that you need, but Debian Etch has at least flex and boostlib missing.
<alexnico> i used ubuntu to compile and there were just few packages that i needed to install before i could compile it
<yulia> i compiled on ubuntu 8.04 running in Parallels on Mac
<Brent_M> yeah i had to get the boostlib as well, and i needed byacc which is what says theres a syntax error
<Chani> I only got the server and monitor compiled. the logviewer seems to have some moc file that was generated with an older version of qt; I'm not sure what moc files are doing in svn in the first place. :P
<philip> Also, what particular packages you need from distro to distro varies a lot. E.g. boostlib is one package on some, multiple packages on another.
<Brent_M> Does the code from this past summer include its own server and monitor?
<pgornicz> chani: i seem to remember having a problem with the viewer too, i didn't spend any time on it and just dropped fixing it for now
<philip> It may be that byacc is not the correct package. There are various packages that seem to contain a flex utility, and not all flexes are equal.
* Chani is using arch. with custom qt. no flex issues here
<philip> The code from the summer project teams only includes clients. They run against the standard server.

* Philip will try to get us access to the repositories soon, and in the meantime will email us the non-final version of one of the clients develped over the summer

* Next meeting: Saturday 2pm Eastern
