Player Stage

[Princegiri]

Alrite .... i hope someone can help me out of my misery here....

i sucessfully installed player stage from the .deb packages available on soundforge..... i ran the couple of examples too.. alls good.......

BUT i cant seem to compile any of the client codes......
there is a usr/share/player/examples/libplayerc++/laserobstacleavoid.cc

i cd'd to this directory
i tried to compile it as
$ g++ -o output laserobstacleavoid.cc

the first error that pops out is
laserobstacleavoid.cc:9:36: error: libplayerc++/playerc++.h: No such file or directory

the includes in the code are

#include <libplayerc++/playerc++.h>
#include <iostream>

i tried editing the code and rewriting the includes as

#include "usr/include/player-2.0/libplayerc++/playerc++.h"
#include <iostream>

this returns more problems with
in file included from "usr//include/player-2.0/libplayerc++/playerc++.h" the following headers not found
boost/signal.hpp>
boost/bind.hpp>
boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
boost/thread/thread.hpp>
boost/thread/xtime.hpp>

i have installed the BOOST C++
they have installed into the directory
usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1/boost
but the same problem persists....
none of the boost headers are detected

so here it is : im an absolute newbie.,...
i would appreciate any help on 'how-to-compile-anything'.... tutorials, pdfs anything....

i need to compile the client program and then try my hand at compiling one of my own client program in order for my project to proceed....

Do you need to use gmakemake in the folder to compile? Here is something i found in a Player/Stage FAQ:

If you are developing code in C/C++ that must compile and link against the Player libraries, and you use gmakemake to generate your makefiles, you will need a copy of the header.mak file containing the compiling and linking flags. From the directory in which you intend to run gmakemake: cp /usr/local/pub/zjb/playerstage/header.mak ./header.mak
Looks like you need to execute that command and then run gmakemake in the folder the source is in. Info is taken from: http://www.cs.rit.edu/usr/local/pub/FAQ/PlayerStage%20Setup.html

This looks helpful also: http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/wiki/Player_and_Automake

Sorry I couldnt find it earlier ;)

Can anybody interpret this error and tell what the problem might be here?
