winros_make fails [closed]
Hi,
I'm installing winros on a Windows 7 system according to this tutorial and am stuck at executing the winros_make command. It says
find_package(catkin) failed. catkin was neither found in the workspace nor
in the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. One reason may be that no ROS setup.sh was
sourced before.
I couldn't find any setup.sh file I could source. Can someone please help? Greets :)
EDIT 1
To satisfy Daniel Stoniers question in the commentaries here is my CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH from the generated configure.cmake file:
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH};${ROSDEPS_ROOT};${UNDERLAY_ROOTS}" CACHE PATH "semi-colon separated software/ros workspace paths.")
The referenced paths are defined as follows:
set(ROSDEPS_ROOT "C:/opt/rosdeps/groovy/x86" CACHE STRING "System root for ros dependency.")
set(UNDERLAY_ROOTS "" CACHE PATH "Semi-colon separated list of underlay roots.")
CLOSED
I closed this question, because the reason for the failure was a faulty system configuration. I installed the Windows SDK 7.1 parallel to my Visual Studio 2010, which caused the trouble. When I eventually retried on a clean system without installing the SDK, everything worked like a charm. Thanks very much though to everyone who helped me with this!
have Your tried this command `call C:\work\ws\devel\setup.bat` before executing winros_make? That's an analogue for `source setup.sh` in Linux.
Chicken and egg. He's running winros_make for the first time, which will create `setup.bat`. Note: you can ignore the reference to `setup.sh` here, it is a misleading reference at the end of the `toplevel.cmake` that is created. What does your `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in `config.cmake` look like?`
Hi, thanks for the comments. @Kamiccolo: as Daniel Stonier says, I'm running it for the first time, thus there is no devel directory yet. @Daniel Stonier: My `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` is defined by this line in the `configure.cmake`: `set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH};${ROSDEPS_ROOT};${UNDERLAY_ROOTS}" CACHE PATH "semi-colon separated software/ros workspace paths.")`. ROSDEPS_ROOT is previously set by `set(ROSDEPS_ROOT "C:/opt/rosdeps/groovy/x86" CACHE STRING "System root for ros dependency.")` (I changed this line manually by replacing `hydro` through `groovy`) and UNDERLAY_ROOTS is set by `set(UNDERLAY_ROOTS "" CACHE PATH "Semi-colon separated list of underlay roots.")` (nothing changed here).
Check there is catkin package(c:/work/ws/src/catkin) first. According to instruction you followed, the word 'hydro' should not exist in 'config.cmake'. Is there any prior work about win_ros?
@yichoe thanks for your comment. My src folder is empty except for two files .rosinstall and CMakeLists.txt . I don't think there has been prior work, and I installed only but all packages suggested in the mentioned tutorial. One thing that came to my mind: On http://wiki.ros.org/win_python_build_tools/groovy which is linked by the tutorial, there are listed some "example" commands for using the tools I should download there. Do I have to commit them or are they really just _examples_?
That is just examples for using wstool. Delete c:/work/ws, and try again from '2.2 Sources' section in the instruction. By the way how about starting with 'hydro' version not 'groovy'? Do you have any special reason to use 'groovy'?
@Yeongil Choe thanks for your comment. I already tried that several times. I did it once again now and added the ouput of winros_make to my question. Yes, I need groovy. I am trying to connect an Ubuntu system with the winros_environment for monitoring reasons.
Ooookay.. I just reinstalled all the tools and rebootet, then set up a new workspace and called winros_init_workspace as written in the tutorial. I noticed tons of items being fetched from repositories which wasn't the case before. But still it doesn't want to compile. Seems my settings for the compiler are broken -.-
