how to install a package from an old distro?
Hi, I am fairly new to ROS. I found a package that is exactly what I need. Only problem is, last time it was updated was a few years back. Differential_drive package. It seems to be compatible with Fuerte and Groovy. I am using Kinetic. What is the easiest way to implement this package? I am ready to go as far as build my own package and use the source code from the existing nodes of this package. I was just hoping there was an easier/faster way. I would appreciate any help, thank you. Andrew
Edit: Thanks, I downloaded and catkin made it, then sourced. I can tell ROS recognises the package because when I press TAB, it auto-completes "differential-drive", but if I then press double TAB it only seems to see crosshair.jpg and none of the scripts. Do you have any idea why?
Here is the mistake I get, when I try to run one of the scripts
rosrun differential_drive twist_to_motors.py
[rosrun] Couldn't find executable named twist_to_motors.py below /home/desktop/catkin_ws/src/differential-drive
[rosrun] Found the following, but they're either not files,
[rosrun] or not executable:
[rosrun] /home/desktop/catkin_ws/src/differential-drive/scripts/twist_to_motors.py
