When I "catkin_make", it succeeded.But I don't know how to source setup.bash By the way, I want to use multi machine with ROS_Master on Window.

Hi,

On Windows 10, you can source your local workspace setup by calling devel\setup.bat.

To check if your local workspace is properly overlayed on top of your environment, run

echo %ROS_PACKAGE_PATH%

you should see something like this

C:/local_workspace/src;C:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\share

You should set ROS_MASTER_URI as an environment variable on Windows 10. You either set it by using a GUI: open Advanced system settings, click the button Environment Variables, and add new System variables (different approaches to open the GUI can be found here), or set it by using the setx command. So if you want to permanently set ROS_MASTER_URI, the command would be like:

setx ROS_MASTER_URI “http://<ip>:11311/” /m
