Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

Submitted by jverbeke on Mon, 2015-07-06 10:27

Orocos-users

Hi,

I have a ROS groovy package which I made an Orocos RTT of. This works perfectly in ROS Groovy by simply performing:

rosrun rtt_rosnode create_rtt_msgs file
rosmake file

Now, I am porting this package currently working in ROS Groovy + rosbuild +12.04 to ROS Indigo + Rosbuild +14.04. (Both Orocos toolchain 2.7)
I have tried two methods:
First, I directly copied the (cleaned) RTT file itself as and just tried rosmake again.
But the problem is that Orocos Indigo version is different from Groovy: rosnode no longer has the method create_rtt_smgs.

This is my original CMakeList.txt of the RTT package in Groovy:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)

# Set the build type. Options are:
# Coverage : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization, w/ code-coverage
# Debug : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization
# Release : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization
# RelWithDebInfo : w/ debug symbols, w/ optimization
# MinSizeRel : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization, stripped binaries
set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE MinSizeRel)

rosbuild_init()

rosbuild_include(rtt_rosnode GenerateRTTtypekit)

find_package(roscpp)

ros_generate_rtt_typekit(MyPackage)

The original manifest.xml in Groovy:

Provides an rtt typekit for ROS MyPackage messages.

<description>

<depend package="MyPackage" />
<depend package="rtt_std_msgs" />
<depend package="rtt_rosgraph_msgs" />
<depend package="rtt_geometry_msgs" />
<depend package="rtt_sensor_msgs" />

The problem is that it cannot find GenerateRTTtypekit nor ros_generate_rtt_typekit anymore as orocos structure differs in Indigo.
>From what I can find out, GenerateRTTtypekit is now in rtt_roscomm under GenerateRTTROSCommPackage,
I added the rtt-roscomm package to my manifest and replaced the rosnode with the following in my CMakeLists.txt:

rosbuild_include(rtt_roscomm GenerateRTTROSCommPackage)

But fails the rosmake stating: it failed to include the GenerateRTTROSCommPackage from rtt_roscomm.
I have no idea how to fix this.

My second method I tried was to redo the create_rtt_msgs command, which as far as I can tell now in rtt_roscomm:

rosrun rtt_roscomm create_rtt_msgs file

The problem here is that it creates a catkin rtt package as the orocos toolchain is now catkinized:
CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(rtt_Mypackage)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS rtt_roscomm)

ros_generate_rtt_typekit(MyPackage)
ros_generate_rtt_service_proxies(MyPackage)

orocos_generate_package(
DEPENDS MyPackage
DEPENDS_TARGETS rtt_roscomm rtt_std_msgs
rtt_rosgraph_msgs
rtt_geometry_msgs
rtt_sensor_msgs

)

package.xml:

<package>
<name>rtt_MyPackage<name>
<version>0.0.0<version>
<description>

Provides an rtt typekit for ROS MyPackage messages.

<plugin_depend>rtt_rosgraph_msgs<plugin_depend>
<plugin_depend>rtt_geometry_msgs<plugin_depend>
<plugin_depend>rtt_sensor_msgs<plugin_depend>

<rtt_ros>
<export>

When I try rosmake it cannot find something to build.
I would need to do it through catkin_make, but my packages are in a rosbuild (rosws) environment...
I tried moving the RTT package to a catkin workspace and build it there, but to no avail.
I don't know how to fix this.

Any thoughts on how to fix this and what/which method I should use?

Kind regards,

Jon

Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

I tried that, it was the second method I described, but it gives me a catkin package and I need a rosbuild…

Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

Submitted by johannesmeyer on Thu, 2015-07-09 09:56.

Hi Jon,

indeed you cannot use the create_rtt_msgs tool from the hydro-devel or
indigo-devel branch of rtt_ros_integration to create a rosbuild package.
However, on the cmake level the buildsystems can still be exchanged and the
new cmake macros in rtt_roscomm can also be invoked in a rosbuild package.

I added a small example here:
https://github.com/meyerj/rtt_ros_examples

I verified that it still works with ROS indigo + rosbuild with the current
indigo-devel branch of rtt_ros_integration and Orocos toolchain 2.7 or 2.8.

Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

Submitted by wilmdecr on Wed, 2015-07-15 11:06.

Hi Johannes,

Thank you for the support. Do you happen to have the same small example, but for the catkin build system instead of rosbuild? I am struggling a bit on converting a typekit, and having an example might do the trick.

Many thanks,
Wilm

Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

Submitted by johannesmeyer on Thu, 2015-07-16 09:00.

Hi Wilm,

catkin typekit packages can simply be created with the create_rtt_msgs tool
that comes with the rtt_roscomm package in hydro-devel and newer.
I added an example for control_msgs <http://wiki.ros.org/control_msgs>
here:
https://github.com/meyerj/rtt_ros_examples/tree/master/catkin/rtt_contro...

Hi Jon,

indeed you cannot use the create_rtt_msgs tool from the hydro-devel or indigo-devel branch of rtt_ros_integration to create a rosbuild package. However, on the cmake level the buildsystems can still be exchanged and the new cmake macros in rtt_roscomm can also be invoked in a rosbuild package.

I added a small example here:
https://github.com/meyerj/rtt_ros_examples

I verified that it still works with ROS indigo + rosbuild with the current indigo-devel branch of rtt_ros_integration and Orocos toolchain 2.7 or 2.8.

This is my original CMakeList.txt of the RTT package in Groovy:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)

rosbuild_init()

rosbuild_include(rtt_rosnode GenerateRTTtypekit)

ros_generate_rtt_typekit(MyPackage)

The original manifest.xml in Groovy:

rosbuild_include(rtt_roscomm GenerateRTTROSCommPackage)

But fails the rosmake stating: it failed to include the GenerateRTTROSCommPackage from rtt_roscomm.
I have no idea how to fix this.

My second method I tried was to redo the create_rtt_msgs command, which as far as I can tell now in rtt_roscomm:

rosrun rtt_roscomm create_rtt_msgs file

The problem here is that it creates a catkin rtt package as the orocos toolchain is now catkinized:
CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(rtt_Mypackage)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS rtt_roscomm)

)

Any thoughts on how to fix this and what/which method I should use?
Since it's just a msg typekit package you could also try:

rosrun rtt_roscomm create_rtt_msgs

Kind regards,

Jon

Building RTT msgs from rosbuild package in ROS Indigo

Submitted by jverbeke on Thu, 2015-07-09 11:40.

Hi Johannes,

Thanks for this!

I've currently solved it by finding a catkin version of my package and then using create_rtt_msgs tool but this required a lot more work as I had to manually adapt the package with my changes adn also had to battle rosbuild and catkin workspaces overlays. It works but I prefer to avoid this (messy) solution.

Your method should be much easier and I will test it in the following days as soon as I have the chance. I'll keep you updated.

Regards,

Jon
