Awesome, robot_sim built successfully. Here are the steps taken, for
reference:
*opende/manifest.xml:*
-ldrawstuff added to lflags
*opende/Makefile.ode.tarball:*
--disable-demos switched to --enable-demos
--enable-double-precision uncommented
*opende/build/opende_1730_patched_with_damping/drawstuff/src/.libs/libdrawstuff.a
*copied to *opende/opende/lib/*
*
*
*opende/build/opende_1730_patched_with_damping/include/drawstuff *copied to
*opende/opende/include/*
Final CMakeLists.txt for atrias_sim attached.
Thanks again, everyone, for your help!
