README mentions `startup_rvc` #11

Closed goretkin closed 5 years ago

In the zip files available on http://www.petercorke.com/RTB/, this file exists, but I don't understand how to use the toolbox from a cloned git repo.

Running startup_rtb.m doesn't load, for example, functions under common. Actually, I don't understand in which repo those functions are hosted. (For example runscript.m.)

For historical reasons the repository layout of the toolbox is different to the distributions I push out. There's (too) complex process to package up the distribution. This is on my list of things to fix.

What I do is create a top level folder with startup_rvc in it, copy from an old distribution, and in that folder I have symlinks to the three git repos (robot, vision, common).
