Trouble setting up win_ros workspace?
Hello, I recently attempted to install winros on my computer running windows 7, somewhat successfully (it worked at first, but now am running into some weird errors when I try to call C:\opt\ros\hydro\x86\setup.bash (but this is another question; if you're wondering abiut this problem see my other question 'python _parentpackage_path is not recognized)).
RIght now I'm trying to follow this tutorial to set up a workspace:
http://wiki.ros.org/win_ros/hydro/Msvc%20Compiled%20SDK
However, when I initially try to initiate the workspace with teh line winrosinitworkspace --track=hydro ws, after command prompt tells me that it has added new elements (actionLib, catkin, win_ros, etc...), and that the configuration was successfully changed, I get a large stream of errors that say something along these lines:
"[error 2] the system cannot find the file specified[/vcstools]
[catkin] Fetching https://github.com/ros/catkin/git
over and over and over again. I tried just ignoring it, but moving on in the tutorial produces more errors, so I assume this must be the root error.
Any idea what's going wrong?
