The Kortex Api is distributed as a binary package from Kinova.
You could add a check in the CMakeList to detect windows and download the correct binary... I think I left a comment or TODO, but I don't have windows to test this on or know what other problems you might encounter but it was moved out of scope when we were porting the drivers to ROS 2.
So, if i add a check in the CMakelists.txt(in the kortex_api) file for windows instead of linux, and give the exact windows binary (windows_x86-64_msvc-2019.zip) url, will it work?
Hi @Vasanth28897, As @moriarty mentionned, Windows support was not tested nor in the scope for the ros2_kortex repo. You might be able to make it work, but unfortunately it's something we cannot offer support for.
Best, Santiago
Hi, I installed ros2 iron in windows 10. I wanted to check whether the packages like kinova kortex(simulation) is working fine or not. I followed the instructions here to install ros2 in windows, and this instructions to clone and build the package. After the rosdep installed, this command
rosdep install --ignore-src --from-paths src -y -r
gives the error like thisand this
colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
gives the error like thiswe can see the CMake Error showing
Unsupported System: currently support is for Linux x68_64. Detected Windows and AMD64
. does this package really works in windows, or is it still in development? If it works fine, what are the steps i have to follow to make it work?
