I am following instructions on how to build ros windows sdk from sources (given here). I am getting the following error when I try to winros sdk configure

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

We've been plying the Windows SDK for the last few weeks and found it pretty easy to use. We would like to run our executables in debug mode and seems like the ROS libraries were not compiled with the debug keys on. I was wondering if there is a versiob of comiled libraries with debug keys or if there are visual studio solution/project files are available which we can use to compile a debug version of the ROS libraries?

I fount it. It is empy package, which is available at http://www.alcyone.com/software/empy/

I've installed genmsg package on my windows machine and is not able to run. template_tools.py in genmsg depends on module em, which I don't have. Could you please point me tot he place, where I can get this module from.

Thank you Lorenz and snorri a lot for the clarification. The messages we are using are not basic msg types. I will try to use Windows SDK then to build our messages and will use the genmsg as a backup.

I am building a transportation system simulator application, that uses roscpp on Windows. I'm trying to find a way to generate c++ header files from YAML srv/msg files. I found about the genmsg_cpp but can't find it now, the search on the wiki gives me this page http://www.ros.org/wiki/genmsg_cpp which lists the svn archive https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros/trunk/core/genmsg_cpp , that does not exist anymore. I would greatly appreciate is somebody could explain how to generate the header files without using the build script, which is not available on Windows.
