Recompiling the Webbotlib libraries

[SoundDiver]

Stepping through the code in the debugger is a pain since the file paths from the original compilation are expected. (C:\eclipse\workspace\webbotclibrary sound familiar?)

Is there a makefile, AVRStudio project, or plain ol' instructions anywhere for reproducing libWebbot-ATMega640.a on my local machine?

Thanks.

AVRStudio debugger should then allow you to locate the diretory where you've got WebbotLib source code installed. You can do that without recompiling anything.

The debugger is always a bit flakey since the WebbotLib code is built using -Os optimisation. If you recompile it yourself with, say, no optimisation -O0 then the debugger is better but the code will be much bigger. Also note that the AVRStudio debugger has got loads of bugs - for example some of the timers (cant remember if its 3, 4 or 5) - never generate any interrupts.

If you really need to recompile then I'd take a backup of the original .a files first. Dunk has done a tutorial on recompiling Version 1.xx here:  http://www.societyofrobots.com/member_tutorials/node/382
