Building w/o private externals access

[Rahtron3030]

Could not build the controls directory without SNOPT.

I downloaded Gurobi outside of the OH build process, but there were no instructions on how to link the compiler to my external Gurobi installation.

Could not run build Director without the Controls directory and some Atlas drivers.

Spoke to Russ about setting up OpenHumanoids with a precompiled binary for SNOPT.

Could not build the controls directory without SNOPT.

We're compiling the public version without SNOPT and without Matlab on the Travis build server and it doesn't throw. We do not yet check whether the user has SNOPT and based on that add or remove subdirectories. So the case of a user having matlab but not SNOPT isn't handled in our build process at the moment - thanks for reporting. (Addressed by #84)

Correct, here's how to do it (addressed by #84):

export GUROBI_HOME=[PATH_TO]/gurobi/gurobi562/linux64
export PATH=$PATH:$GUROBI_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GUROBI_HOME/lib
export GRB_LICENSE_FILE=$HOME/gurobi.lic

Could not run build Director without the Controls directory and some Atlas drivers.

Sorry, I haven't tested that and cannot comment. Would you mind sharing the error output? Does it just show a blank/darkgrey screen? If so, press F8 and copy the errors there.

I personally don't know about a timeline or process for this.

Thanks! :)
