Revision history [back]

Well, I decided to follow this Tutorial page: http://ros.org/wiki/win_ros/groovy/Msvc%20Compiled%20SDK

It's nearly the same but you have to compile ROS on Windows yourself with the Visual Studio Compiler. It worked for me very well (Windows 7, 64 Bit) but make sure you have a clean Installation of Visual Studio. If you get a compile error like "error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match value '1700'" you maybe have trouble with libraries from another Visual Studio version.

So win_ros is running on my machine but now I want to navigate my robot. Is there a navigation stack that I'm able to compile on Windows because I think I can't simply use that one http://www.ros.org/wiki/navigation. Or do I have to use an Ubuntu VM which is running the navigation and communicating with my win_ros nodes?
