Hi,

I am trying to build slam_gmapping in catkin workspace. I had cloned and build openslam_gmapping package but i am getting below error. I was able to find openslam_gmapping from rospack find openslam_gmapping. I am using ros groovy

    -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Set openslam_gmapping_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration

Edit

Operating System - Ubuntu 12.04

openslam_gmapping cloned from https://github.com/ros-perception/openslam_gmapping

I tried apt-get install ros-groovy-openslam-gmapping but not working.

thanks.

Could You please, be more specific on details like: 1. Operating System. 2. Where did You installed it (openslam_gmapping) from sources? (it smells like an issue with not following the Catkin Workspace directory structure). 3. Did you source the setup.bash file which was created in the place you installed it to before trying to compile with it? 4. If it's Ubuntu, have You considered simply `apt-get install ros-groovy-openslam-gmapping`?

Do you have your catkin workspace initialized properly (see 'http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace'). Plz source setup.bash in your catkin_ws/devel folder. If you create a simple package and than a second package that depends on your first package, do they find each other?

@Wolf After doing source devel/setup.bash build is proper.

You can check your workspace being properly initialized by creating two simple packages in your workspace where one package depends on the other. If they find each other the workspace is Ok.

Hi @bvbdort, If you want to install the source code of gmapping in your workspace. you just need to do the following steps,

Download the source code from the following link via zip file and unzip the file https://github.com/ros-perception/slam_gmapping/tree/groovy-devel .

Then, copy-paste the source code of gmapping into your workspace.

Before building the workspace you should run the following command, sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-openslam-gmapping It helps to install the following files for gmapping.

openslam_gmappingConfig.cmake
openslam_gmapping-config.cmake

If you have any queries please leave your problem here.

Hi!! Since you have cloned the repository from github, so you have that package. Follow the following steps, you can build package without error,

catkin_create_pkg <pkg_name> roscpp
Go to src folder in that package
Paste the packages you downloaded from github.
now, catkin_make --pkg <pkg_name>

Let me know if it does not work.

Thank You.

Hi @mallikarjun: +1 for making the effort to post here, but what you suggest is not necessary, nor the recommended way to do it.

If you download the pkg from github, you can immediately build them (provided you have installed the dependencies). No need to run catkin_create_pkg first.
