Sorry for “the chinese room”  English.

The figure above being to be proofreading stage is different from the real thing a little. As for the real thing color has not been attached, but design is refined.

Thank you very much for reading my article, ODE petit, onRoboCon Magazine. RoboCon magazine is the most popular magazine related a robot in Japan, and about 35000 copies are printed. The readers are from elementary school students to retired engineers.  Because in the information magazine regarding the robot it is only one, the person who was not until now read RoboCon Magazine first please pass through at the propriety book store.

Well, the short-term serialization of all the 4 times regarding the elementary rudiments of ODE was published RoboCon Magazine No.47 (the ohmsha Ltd., August 16th sale) from. Being linked with that, because, with this web sight in regard to circumstances of the space, we would like to keep answering to explanation and the supplementation of the place where it abbreviates the figure and the question regarding the article, as for the one which has question most please contribute to the comment field which is under. 2nd time being to keep making the petit simulator which makes the RoboCup Middle-Sized Robot simulator which is the figure above simple please expect.

So, with RoboCon Magazine being illustrated from now on, it explains the installation method of the free (free) enviroment for software development which cannot be explained in detail. Furthermore, there is also Cygwin, as the enviroment for software development of of free with Windows you can use to the UNIX like, but with the up-to-date version 0.7 of ODE it meaning that being less crowded capacity of thing and the hard disk which cannot compile the sample program is well enough necessary, with the latest serialization you use MinGW and MSYS.

Here it explains in detail with the figure and the link attachment concerning below.(Note: It meaning that ODE0.7 is released on 2006 September 8th, here it introduces the installation method of ODE0.7.)

1. The installationof MinGW(enviroment for software development)
2. The installationof MSYS(the system in order to utilize MinGW)
3. The installationof ODE0.7

1. The installation of MinGW

• Http:MinGW-5.1.0.exeis downloadedfrom//prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/. It is good to download from the Japanese JAIST sight, probably will be.

3. The installation of ODE0.7

Download

Whenthe  ODEwebsight(the rough sketch)download whichis the left menu bar is clicked

It becomes the following picture.
