Install MRPT

I go through all the way from null to MRPT output a grid Map in 3D.

I collect tips here to help others to find a real, workable routine to there.

I run in two ways.  Firtst, i complie from source code.  It errors for dependency third lib missing.  Then I solves thiese one by one. In my record, the nastiest lib is "wxWidget", which included in gui.h related.     Another problem is that even without  "wxWidget" lib, it still can be compiled over and generates enough basic .lib s.  But it is incomplete.

There is no window UI linked and will error when you run .exe in \bin.  By the way, the install path is: \usr\local\bin and  source codes in \usr\local\apps.

Finally, i recomplied the source code with "wxWidget" lib included. It works.

The Second method is directly install from PPA:repository.   (Actually I tried in my WhiteComputer but failed.  Now it works in my second computer. The reason may lie in server location of ubuntu, one is in America and one in China.)

Follow the link: (It works.  But firstly you slhould get add-apt-repository works.   Search the web.)

MRPT in GNU/Linux repositories

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:joseluisblancoc/mrpt
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dev mrpt-apps  
# ONLY if you want debug -dbg packages
#sudo apt-get install libmrpt-dbg

I test,  it works and .exe in /usr/bin.

It automatically install the third party involved. Print here:
