I am trying to install one of the champions of the car simulator game Torcs so I can select it as an AI-driver. However no matter what tutorial I follow (for example here), there is always some problems that the steps that are listed there do not result in the driver being listed in the Torcs program with GUI. As I can't really pinpoint where the problem lies, I hope someone can clear up the steps in order to achieve this.

A slightly similar question was asked here but without success. Could someone please post a step by step solution to how to get a driver from here installed in the Torcs program so that you can actually see how it is being run and run against it? That would help out a lot.

Some steps I have taken:

  1. Install driver from here
  2. Follow the steps in the README file in the installed driver folder on how to install the driver. In specific:
  3. tar xvjf hymie_2015.tar.bz2 -C $TORCS_BASE/src/drivers
  4. cd $TORCS_BASE/src/drivers/hymie_2015
  5. make clean
  6. make install

At step 5 I'm stuck with this approach as there is no make clean command in the makefile. You can get this to work when running export MAKE_DEFAULT=$TORCS_BASE/Make-default.mk. However then 6th step will fail. I also tried to run .configure and make clean, make, make install in the main directory of Torcs (as a process of trial and error), with no result either.

So in short, what are the steps to be taken to download and install a bot so that it becomes visible in the GUI of Torcs?

install torcs in usr/src/torcs make will look for make-default in TORCS_BASE if it's not in usr/src/torcs you will get error(create manually and decompress inside that directory to get usr/src/torcs/torcs1.xxxx)
