ROS Fuerte Install on Gentoo fails at rosdep install -a

Following step by step the instructions from here: http://www.ros.org/wiki/fuerte/Installation/Gentoo

The following output is from rosdep install -a :

I've created the needed package mappings (except for swig-wx, I have faked this with a mapping to swig), with a few added work arounds.

First change over to my rosdep mappings.

sed -i 's/ros/jmesmon/' /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list

The repo can be found here: github.com/jmesmon/rosdistro

Add the following overlay for pcl:

layman -a ezod

Then remove the dependency on ros from python_qt_binding. For some reason it is not resolved properly. Edit ~/ros/python_qt_binding/manifest.xml and delete

<rosdep name="ros" />

Without this edit, the following occurs (note that where-defined finds it just fine).

~/g/rosdistro/rosdep $ rosdep install -a
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
python_qt_binding: No definition of [ros] for OS [gentoo]

~/g/rosdistro/rosdep $ rosdep where-defined ros
https://github.com/jmesmon/rosdistro/raw/master/releases/fuerte.yaml

With these changes, this step completes succesfuly.

~/g/rosdistro/rosdep $ rosdep install -a
#All required rosdeps installed successfully

Looks like the pcl from the ezod repo doesn't work with ROS. Need to create a custom package for a patched version. Why can't rosdep just build and install gbp repos itself? Also note that I've removed the PCL and swig-wx mappings, so the above won't work flawlessly.

Please, submit a pull request if you haven't. It will avoid to other Gentoo users to duplicate this work :)

I submitted a pull request: https://github.com/ros/rosdistro/pull/42, but the issue with pcl still stands. As does the lack of actual swig-wx bindings. On pcl: a patched version is uneeded, but an option needs to be passed to pcl's cmake to use the ros bindings.

What we really need is for rosdep to not fail when it can't find something. Or a way to manually tell it something was installed. ie: portage's "provided". Issue here: https://github.com/ros/rosdep/issues/15 and here: https://github.com/ros/rosdep/issues/16

I'm not actively involved in any projects using ROS at the moment, so it is unlikely I'll be the one working on this.

Hello :) It took me nearly one full day but I can offer you a solution :D

First at all (as hint) Fuerte and/or rosdep 2 does not look anymore in any rosdep.yaml file !!! (sry I have already closed that link)

I've worked it out with the following steps: 1. I've downloaded the base.yaml and gentoo.yaml files (which you can easily find if you look into /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list) 2. modify the gentoo.yaml file with your needed expressions like for libjpeg: libjpeg: gentoo: portage: packages: jpeg 3.Copy the files to your own webserver or any other place in the web 4. then modify the /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list to link to your modified files 5. make a rosdep update to take the changes and gratulations 6. now it will find the defined gentoo files :D

Hopefully it works for you as well :)

Bye, SIegfried

Hi,

I'm new to ROS and I'm trying to install the robot variant (fuerte) on a minimal gentoo system. rosdep failes for me with the following output:

rosdep install -a
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
nodelet_topic_tools: No definition of [uuid] for OS [gentoo]
test_bond: No definition of [uuid] for OS [gentoo]
nodelet: No definition of [uuid] for OS [gentoo]
bondcpp: No definition of [uuid] for OS [gentoo]
test_nodelet: No definition of [uuid] for OS [gentoo]

Update: I managed to get it work by applying Beresford's instructions! Thanks!

Ben

Hi!

It would be best to let your fixes go upstream, so that everyone using gentoo does not run into the same problems. Does anyone know whom to contact?!
