Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up Eclipse to use as IDE for my ROS packages. I decided to go with Eclipse above any other IDE because it's listed first in the ROSwiki. http://www.ros.org/wiki/IDEs I tried to follow steps 1-4 so far. I'm afraid a few things went wrong tough:

PROBLEM 1: ROSwiki Instructions step 4: Properties --> C/C++ Make Project --> Environment, and check whether the following environment variables are assigned to the correct values:

ROS_ROOT

ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

PYTHONPATH

PATH

My issue: These variables were added, also in my case, but I dont understand their assign value: for e.g. path the value the value is set to /opt/ros/diamondback/ros/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games which is also what i get if using "echo $PATH" ... is this correct? is this valid path? why to "mulitple" locations

PROBLEM 2: If I have a look at the binaries in my packate (I use the "beginners_tutorial" package as described on the ROSwiki) there is the "listener" and "talker" but they contain garbage like ELF

�URHCF�* ���&�DMh()�

now if i expand the "talker" i also do find the "correct" code in a cpp file. But it seems something went wrong anyway if I have somethink like to above, no?

PROBLEM 3: under "Problems" I get one warning Description Resource Path Location Type Invalid project path: Include path not found (/opt/ros/diamondback/ros/core/roslib/msg_gen/cpp/include). beginner_tutorials-RelWithDebInfo@beginner_tutorials pathentry Path Entry Problem

PROBLEM 4: I just cannot build the project, the build button is greyed out.

Really glad for any help with my problems. Many thanks in advance.
