Installing navigation stack on ROS Melodic
Hi,
I've been trying to use some features from the ros-planning/navigation
stack, but it seems that it is not currently available for ROS Melodic. In my case, I need to use the map_server
feature, in one of my applications. So far I've read that (sic) It has been released, but a sync has not yet happened., but all the package is available on their github page. Is there a way to manually install the downloaded package from GitHub on ROS Melodic Distro? I've already tried sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-navigation
and had no success.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried building github package?
Haven't found any instructions on how to do that. Would you mind explaining how to?
clone into your workspace and do catkin build
Didn't work. Copied the whole content into my catkin_ws folder, sourced it, tried to run
catkin build
and gotcatkin: command not found
. Triedcatkin_make
and nothing happened as well.Also, downloaded the
catkin_tools
in order to usecatkin build
but when I tried to do it on my ws, I've got:The build space at '/home/<user>/catkin_ws/build' was previously built by 'catkin_make'. Please remove the build space or pick a different build space.
catkin clean -y && catkin build
Didn't work as well:
[clean] Error: The current or desired workspace could not be determined. Please run
catkin cleanfrom within a catkin workspace or specify the workspace explicitly with the
--workspaceoption.
That is not at all how you would build a pkg from sources.
See #q252478 for the general procedure.
