从GITHUB上下载源码（https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kinematics_dynamics）
1、在orocos_kdl目录下
`ccmake .`
2、配置为如下形式

BUILD_MODELS_DEMO OFF
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON
CATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING ON
CATKIN_PACKAGE_PREFIX
CATKIN_SKIP_TESTING OFF
CATKIN_SYMLINK_INSTALL OFF
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release

_gtest_SOURCES /usr/src/gtest/src/gtest.cc
catkin_DIR /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake
gmock_build_tests OFF
gtest_build_samples OFF
gtest_build_tests OFF
点击键盘c键，配置之前的修改，
之后点击g键，从而生成配置信息
3、在orocos_kdl目录下：
fgs@fgs:~/kdl_test/src/orocos_kinematics_dynamics-master/orocos_kdl$ make
[ 88%] Built target orocos-kdl
[ 92%] Built target orocos-kdl-models
[ 94%] Built target geometry
[ 97%] Built target trajectory_example
[100%] Built target chainiksolverpos_lma_demo
4、生成可执行文件，在下述文件：
fgs@fgs:~/kdl_test/src/orocos_kinematics_dynamics-master/orocos_kdl/devel/lib/orocos_kdl$ ls
chainiksolverpos_lma_demo geometry trajectory_example
5、./执行即可，下面式执行结果
fgs@fgs:~/kdl_test/src/orocos_kinematics_dynamics-master/orocos_kdl/devel/lib/orocos_kdl$ ./geometry

要搞明白上述运行结果的意义的话，可以查看example文件下的geometry.cpp，这个程序是为了展示其定义的类Vector（包含向量的多种运算）和类Rotation。Rotation表示机器人的旋转矩阵（姿态），机器人学中表示机器人姿态有多种方法，orocos中定义的方法有RPY方法，角-轴，欧拉角方法，四元数方法。
