i'd like to install certain ROS stacks to my catkin workspace. ive already cloned them from github to my src folder insider my workspace path.
how to make ROS recognize it?
thank you in advance.
greets, che.
Do your packages still contain manifest.xml? If yes you need to port them all to Catkin.
http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/migrating_...
If they are already Catkin packages, you just need to build them with catkin_make, even when in a subfolder of src it should directly build them.
as far as i can see there are only package.xml files in each package.
did i get it right that i need to catkin_make the single packages?
i just tried it and i'm getting closer. when catkin_making the packages i get the error "no rule to make target >packagename<. stop.
@ahendrix, yes but then depending on them by a catkin package is not possible.
@che you have to execute catkin_make in the "root" of your workspace
if your packages are in catkin_ws/src/... then you have to execute catkin_make in catkin_ws
(BTW: don't forget catkin_init_workspace in src)
now i did catkin_make in catkin_ws. it seems that the packages have been built now.
but when i try to execute a node within a package within the new stack ive installed i get the error `package not found
ok, I had serveral problems. here are some tips to get around the error:
source your/workspace/path/catkin/devel/setup.bashfor now it works. thanks to all helpers.
