pcl_ros in CMakeLists.txt

asked 2014-08-25 07:52:35 -0600

updated 2014-08-25 08:16:41 -0600

I want to work with pcl_ros in a package but I don't know how to include it in the CMakeLists.txt file. I tried to use:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED
    roscpp
    sensor_msgs
    pcl_ros
)

Unfortunately it is not working. I get an error when compiling.

I am using ROS Hydro (catkin system) but the perception package (pcl_ros) was downloaded manually and is inside my workspace.

I would appreciate if you can help me.

Well, from the error messages it looks like the targets in your custom package pcl2_to_scan are conflicting with pcl_msgs. Which leads me to believe that you have not only pcl_ros, but the whole perception_pcl stack inside your workspace.

If you need to modify and overlay some part of pcl_ros:

  • clean your build folders (rm -rf build devel)
  • install ros-hydro-perception-pcl so that all the dependencies are met
  • clone https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl to your workspace, you can get rid of the perception_pcl metapackage.
  • try to build the workspace with only pcl_ros inside of it, remove all your custom code for now.
  • once that builds successfully, and it should, try roscd pcl_ros to make sure that rospack is using the overlay instead of the system installation
  • track down the naming conflict in pcl2_to_scan CMakeLists.txt

I solved it by changing my perception_pcl package from catkin_ws to ros_catkin_ws. Thank you
