0.6.2 tool installation instructions are useless unless you are an OSSIE tool expert

[balister]

Excerpt from INSTALL in the tools directory on the 0.6.2 tarball.

Prior to installation:

    1.  Install the OSSIE core framework (including dependencies)
    2.  Install standard interfaces and custom interfaces
    3.  Complete the python bindings for 1 and 2
    4.  Install everything else in system and platform 
    5.  Make the ossie.pth file
        **This file will need to contain "/sdr/tools"
    6.  Double check that the OSSIE dependencies are all installed (including omniORBpy!)

How do I do these things? Where does the ossie.pth file go? How do I create python bindings?

Also none of the INSTALL files in the 0.6.2 tarball refer to the User Guide, which appears to contain the most correct installation instructions I can find.

I really don't see how anyone, with some Linux experience, could install OSSIE based on the downloading the tarball. Most of us will download the tarball and read the files there. It looks like the files on the tarball are incomplete files used to create the User Guide, that is not in the tarbal.

Apparently fixing ticket #152 also fixes this ticket. The commented on this ticket should be addressed though, so the ticket is not exactly a dupe.

dependencies are handled prior to tool installation. installing the tools is just a matter of typing python setup.py install
