ArkToolbox now released for Windows/ Mac as well as Linux

ArkToolbox is a toolbox for ScicosLab/ XCos (similar to Matlab simulink, but free). ArkToolbox is useful for drone control design, simulation, and testing and is compatible with FlightGear, MAVLink (QGroundControl/ArduPilotMega), and the JSBSim Trimming GUI software. This creates a completely open source toolchain for developing aircraft models, finding trim states for control, and developing controllers. The ArkToolbox also supports hardware in the loop communication via MAVLink.

I forgot to update that readme. But it is a standard cmake install. The autobuild was just there to help with that. There is an option in arktoolbox tree to automatically build dependencies. It works in windows/ debian/ mac, so it should work for you. This will download all the deps and call cmake etc.

it didn't help
but i made some progress.
i have found in cmake/arkcmake/FindScicoslab.cmake section set (_SCICOSLAB_EXTRA_SEARCH_PATHS)
and i added the path where my scicoslab was installed (which is /usr/share/scicoslab-gtk-4.4.1)
and it seems cmake now find scicoslab

But it failed with error message "Could NOT find ArkOsg"

So I downloaded arkosg (git clone https://github.com/arktools/arkosg.git )

but according to README, run ./cmake/arkcmake/autobuild.py to install this package failed

(autobuild.py doesn't exist)

Try removing your CMakeCache.txt file. It will force it to search for your installed programs again.

Ok, i installed scicoslab-4.4.1 (as AUR package for archlinux)

but I received the same error message.

Probably different executable for scicoslab?

Mine is:

/usr/bin/scicoslab

but even if I created link to

ln -s /usr/bin/scicoslab /usr/local/bin/scilab

and

ln -s /usr/bin/scicoslab /usr/local/scilab

I received the same error

any clue?

In the development version I'm starting to work on XCos support. Currently only ScicosLab is supported: http://www.scicoslab.org/

Hi James,

I would like to install arktoolbox for xcos.

I have scilab-5.3.3 (xcos) installed,

but when i started install arktoolbox it ended with error message:

** Finding libraries
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (MESSAGE):
Could NOT find ScicosLab (missing: SCICOSLAB_SCILAB_PROGRAM
SCICOSLAB_INCLUDE_DIRS SCICOSLAB_CONTRIB_DIR SCICOSLAB_VERSION)

Is there special CMakeLists.txt for build with scilab/xcos ?

I renamed the toolbox since I am in the process of adding scilab support in addition to scicoslab.
