roscreate Description

roscreate is a Python module that provides template style wizard shortcuts for creating ros packages, stacks...Roscreate ShortcutsCatkin environment shortcuts- roscreate-pkg- roscreate-catkin-pkg : simple alias for roscreate-pkg to avoid conflicts with current roscreate-pkg.- roscreate-cpp-pkg- roscreate-comms-pkg- roscreate-qt-pkg : use with qt-ros stackLegacy environment shortcuts- roscreate-legacy-pkg- roscreate-qt-legacy-pkg (use with qt-ros stack)TutorialThis shows how to use the scripts to build a stack/cpp package catkin style. The cpp configuration is your typical cpp ros package - it exports some headers, builds a library and also a test executable.Install RoscreateIt is configured to work on ubuntu precise with the ros fuerte sources.> sudo apt-get install python-pip> sudo pip install --upgrade roscreatePrep WorkspaceThe following downloads the mingw fuerte rosinstaller. Don't mind the fact that it's the mingw installer. It is just a minimal set of ros sources that is tagged at a particular version guaranteed to work with these roscreate shortcuts.Note that you can also do it working off the apt-get rosinstalled environment (much less building required). I'm doing it from a complete set of sources here, because it lets you easily reference what is going on inside the other catkinized stacks.> rosinstall --catkin ~/rosws/src https://raw.github.com/stonier/win_ros/master/mingw_fuerte.rosinstall> mkdir -p ~/rosws/build> mkdir -p ~/rosws/install> cd ~/rosws/build> cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/rosws/install ../src> make -j5Create Stack/Packages> cd ~/rosws/src> roscreate-stack foo ros_comm std_msgs> cd foo> roscreate-cpp-pkg cfooWe'll also create a dependant test package to make sure headers and libraries are exporting correctly.> roscreate-pkg tfoo cfoo> cd tfoo Create tfoo/main.cpp#include < cfoo/cfoo.hpp >int main() { cfoo::Foo foo; foo.helloDude(); return 0;} Edit CMakeLists.txt and uncomment the three lines for the executable example Edit ~/rosws/src/foo/stack.xml and add cfoo,tfoo to the subdirectories to be included. Like this:foreach(subdir cfoo tfoo ) add_subdirectory(${subdir})endforeach()Build> cd ~/rosws/build> cmake .> make -j5Run> cd ~/rosws/build> . env.sh> roslaunch cfoo test.launchShut down, and then test tfoo which needs libcfoo (don't need a roscore, it is pure c++):> cd foo/tfoo/bin> ldd tfoo> ./tfoo> OR> rosrun tfoo tfooInstall> cd ~/rosws/build/foo/cfoo > make installConclusionsIf all works, celebreate with a beer!
