Hello,

While attempting to use "rosmake pi_tracker" I get an error saying that I need to have nite on the system to compile pi_tracker. After a quick search of the wiki it seems that nite is no longer in the works. How can I compile pi_tracker without the nite package? Is there a workaround for this as I would not like to uninstall the working packages/drivers.

Installed:

ubuntu 12.04 x64

fuerte

openni drivers (openni-bin-dev-linux-x64-v1.5.4.0)

nite (nite-bin-dev-linux-x64-v1.5.2.21

I can run openni_launch and openni_tracker with rviz and get input as well as run the sample programs that come with the drivers/middleware. Thank you for your time.

The error:

  mkdir -p bin
  cd build && cmake -Wdev -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=`rospack find rosbuild`/rostoolchain.cmake  ..

Hi @Zab -- Looks like the recent update to the OpenNI drivers requires some changes. I have updated the pi_tracker package by removing the dependency on NITE and I added a new launch file called skeleton_fuerte_new_openni.launch that loads a new config file compatible with the new drivers. To get it working, follow these steps

$ roscd pi_tracker
$ make clean
$ svn update
$ rosmake
$ roslaunch pi_tracker skeleton_fuerte_new_openni.launch

--patrick

Thank you! pi_tracker will launch but now I get a new error.

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [pi_tracker/skeleton_tracker]: can't locate node [skeleton_tracker] in package [pi_tracker]

@Zab - Did you run 'make clean' and 'rosmake'? The skeleton_tracker node is a C++ file (and some headers) that has to be built by rosmake.

I ran the commands but I still get an error that says nite is a dependency. Is this normal?

Hmm. That's odd--sounds like the svn update command didn't work. How about deleting the pi_tracker directory (or move it out of your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH) and then just check out the package from scratch.

Deleted and redownloaded pi_tracker, nite is still listed in the manifest.xml Here is the rep where I am getting it from: svn http://pi-robot-ros-pkg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pi_tracker

Zab ( 2013-03-09 11:51:28 -0500 )edit

So it is! My apologies--I have no idea how it got back in there since that's the first thing I removed earlier today. Anyway I just committed another update then downloaded it and verified that nite has now been removed from manifest.xml.

I have the openni/nite drivers/headers in /usr/include/ni and /usr/include/nite

I don't understand why pi_tracker can't seem to find them.
