Building using arduino
--------------------------
To install the libraries:
 - copy Library Directories to your \arduino\hardware\libraries\ or arduino\libraries directory
 - Restart arduino IDE

 * Each library comes with a simple example. You can find the examples in menu File->Examples

Building using make 
-----------------------------------------------
 - go to directory of sketch and type make.

Building using cmake
-----------------------------------------------
 - mkdir build
 - cd build
 - cmake ..
 - make (will build every sketch)
 - make ArduPlane (will build just ArduPlane etc.)
 
Building using eclipse
-----------------------------------------------

    Getting the Source:

        assuming source located here: /home/name/apm-src
        You can either download it or grab it from git:
        git clone https://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/ /home/name/apm-src

    Generating the Eclipse Project for Your System:
    
        mkdir /home/name/apm-build 
        cd /home/name/apm-build
        cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../apm-src -D BOARD=mega -D PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0

        Note: Unix can be substituted for MinGW/ MSYS/ NMake (for windows)
            (see http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Eclipse_CDT4_Generator)

        PORT is the port for uploading to the board, COM0 etc on windows.
        BOARD is your board type, mega for the 1280 or mega2560 for the 2560 boards.
    
    Importing the Eclipse Build Project:

        Import project using Menu File->Import
        Select General->Existing projects into workspace:
        Browse where your build tree is and select the root build tree directory. 
        Keep "Copy projects into workspace" unchecked.
        You get a fully functional eclipse project

    Importing the Eclipse Source Project:
    
        You can also import the source repository (/home/name/apm-src) if you want to modify the source/ commit using git.

    Settings up Eclipse to Recognize PDE files:

         Window > Preferences > General > Content Types. This tree associates a
            filename or filename pattern with its content type so that tools can treat it
            properly. Source and header files for most languages are under the Text tree. 
            Add "*.pde" as a C++ Source.

	Autocompletion:
	
		Right click on source project -> Properties -> Project References -> apm-build Project
    
    Advanced:
    
        * Regenerating the eclipse source project file:
            cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -DECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT=TRUE /home/name/apm-src

Build a package using cpack
-----------------------------------------------
 - cd build
 - cmake ..
 - make package
 - make package_source
