How to install the doraemon video server.

doraemon is one of the video servers being used by the eleague. It was developed by Prof Jacky Baltes.

Download the doraemon video server from: http://robocup-video.sf.net.

Navigate to the directory where you downloaded doraemon: 

bash#  cd /eleague/src/doraemon

Modify the file in this directory called Makefile as follows.
Find the line that contains: 
CONFIG_DIR=

and change it so that it points to the directory where you want your doraemon configuration files to go, for example: 
CONFIG_DIR=/eleague/src/doraemon/video_config

Then find the line that contains: 
XFLAGS +=
and change it so that it points to the directories where you want your installed your SDL and SGE library files, for example: 
XFLAGS += -I/eleague/include  -L/eleague/lib

You might also need to make the following change. On the line that links the doraemon executable, insert -lSDL_image just before -lSGE.
You can now run: 
bash# make

You can run it the first time using the sample configuration file: 
bash# cp doc/sample_video_config/* ../video_config
bash# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/eleague/lib
bash# doraemon -c ../video_config/videoserver.cfg
