Re: Fwd: Torcs installation

Hi Sergio

Basically you can take 1.3.4/5, there are just these things to consider:
- The car used in the tutorial does not exist anymore (so you have to 
choose another one or to "resurrect" it, e.g from an old package or CVS)
- Some types have been changed from "char*" to "const char*"
- http://www.berniw.org/trb/forum/showthread.php?topicid=3421

So the code differences will be minimal, the main difference will be the 
different car, like you would have decided to take another car to go 
through the tutorial.

Regarding the installation I would recommend this (see chapter 10.5):
- http://www.berniw.org/trb/events/rules_view.php?viewrulesid=18#c10_5 
(installation from full package into home, you still need to set then 
$TORCS_BASE and $MAKE_DEFAULT properly to be able to develop your robot 
outside the ordinary source tree)

I guess I will update the tutorial for 1.4 then (but 1.4 is still pretty 
far away, first 1.3.6 has to be done).

Kind regards

Bernhard
