E:\dev\git\qibuildinstall-qibuild.bat
Script installed in E:\dev\bin\py272\Scripts\qitoolchain.py
Script installed in E:\dev\bin\py272\Scripts\qibuild.py
Script installed in E:\dev\bin\py272\Scripts\qisrc.py
Press any key to continue ...
c. Select a worktree (which is the same as a directory) by going to the folder in command
prompt
cd E:\dev\workspaces\qibuild>qibuild init interactive
Found CMake: e:\dev\sdk\cmake-2.8\bin\cmake.exe

d. This command must be used to create a toolchain (called naotoolchain) with the
C++ SDKs toolchain.xml file in it
qitoolchain create naotoolchain E:\dev\sdk\naoqi-sdk-1.12.2.2-win32-
vs2010\toolchain.xml --default
Now using naotoolchain by default
e. Troubleshooting qibuild
i. Create a blank project in a directory (test1)
ii. Initialize project using the following command
qibuild create test1
New project initialized in E:\dev\workspaces\qibuild\test_project
iii. Configure the new empty project with the following command
qibuild configure test1
iv. If configured successfully qibuild will display
E:\dev\workspaces\qibuild qibuild configure test_project
Active configuration: win32-vs2010
