I am writing a node, and I am trying to use the ROS and tf tutorials to help me. When I try to compile the .cpp file, the files that I have included, such as

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <ros/package.h>

cannot be found. Am I supposed to include these under different names?

This is my CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)

# Set the build type.  Options are:
#  Coverage       : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization, w/ code-coverage
#  Debug          : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization
#  Release        : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization
#  RelWithDebInfo : w/ debug symbols, w/ optimization
#  MinSizeRel     : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization, stripped binaries
#set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo)

rosbuild_init()

#set the default path for built executables to the "bin" directory
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
#set the default path for built libraries to the "lib" directory
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

#uncomment if you have defined messages
#rosbuild_genmsg()
#uncomment if you have defined services
#rosbuild_gensrv()

#common commands for building c++ executables and libraries
#rosbuild_add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} src/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} another_library)
#rosbuild_add_boost_directories()
#rosbuild_link_boost(${PROJECT_NAME} thread)
#rosbuild_add_executable(example examples/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(example ${PROJECT_NAME})
rosbuild_add_executable(SkeletonTracker src/SkeletonTracker.cpp)

This is my manifest.xml:

<package>
  <description brief="skeletonTracker">

     skeletonTracker

  </description>
  <author>robot</author>
  <license>BSD</license>
  <review status="unreviewed" notes=""/>
  <url>http://ros.org/wiki/skeletonTracker</url>
  <depend package="std_msgs"/>
  <depend package="rospy"/>
  <depend package="roscpp"/>

</package>

If I try to use rosmake to build the package, this is output:

robot@neutronstar:~/SkeletonTracking/skeletonTracker$ rosmake

Can you also add the settings of ROS_ROOT and ROS_PACKAGE_PATH + the exact error output.

How do I find the settings of ROS_ROOT and ROS_PACKAGE_PATH?
qdocehf gravatar image qdocehf  ( 2011-07-13 05:49:49 -0500 )edit
Currently, the only dependencies I still need are for tf/frames.hpp and Xn header files.

Your description and error output say two completely different things. Judging from the output transform_broadcaster.h can't be found, for that you need to depend on tf package. When you add that dependency to your manifest it should compile, provided there are no other errors.

<depend package="tf"/>

tf/frames.hpp include file does not exist, you probably meant kdl/frames.hpp.

<depend package="kdl"/>

To use Xn* headers you need to depend on nite and openni packages.

<depend package="nite"/>
<depend package="openni"/>

Sorry, the ros headers had not been working earlier, so I did not check when I uploaded the errors.

Could you give me exactly what I need to add to the manifest.xml file for the Xn headers(<depend package="_____">)? I do not know where to find it, and it does not fit the pattern of the others.

@qdocehf... he did include the lines. OpenNI.

I believe ros/ros.h is part of the roscpp package.

Are you using the ROS Build System? You need to include roscpp as a dependency in the manifest.xml of the package you are building:

<depend package="roscpp"/>

Yes, this was already in my manifest.xml

Can you share your CMakeLists.txt and manifest.xml? Also, does "roscd roscpp" take you to the correct folder?

From your output, it looks like you need to add a tf dependency in the manifest.xml file, i;e

<depend package="tf"/>

let us know if there are more errors

tf/frames.hpp and the Xn header files (XnOpenNI.h; XnCodeIDs.h; XnCppWrapper.h) still cannot be found. Which dependencies do I need for those?
