/** \page prerequisites Prerequisites This page describes the necessary 3rd party libraries to use Gazebo \section install_required Mandatory Scons is used as a replacement to autotools. - Version 0.97 or greater - Scons The the GUI component of Gazebo is designed to allow users to integrate their favorite GUI libraries with Gazebo. - Version 1.1.7 or greater - FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit). Visual display of Gazebo is accomplished using the OGRE rendering engine. - Version 1.4.4 - OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine). To simulate rigid body physics, Gazebo utilizes ODE. Gazebo requires that ODE support trimeshes. A default install of ODE should enable trimesh suppport, if in doubt check the help files found in the ODE sources. - Version 0.8 - ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) User input is gathered using OIS: - Version 1.0 - OIS (Object Oriented Input System) Gazebo requires an xml configuration file to be specified at runtime. We use libxml2 to handle parsing this configuration file: - Version 2.6.29 or greater - libxml2(XML C parser) \section install_optional Optional Player provides a convient mechanism to control the various models and sensors withing Gazebo.
