Build/Dependency issue

[dr-kino]

Hi, congrats on this pretty nice project, I was looking for text-based log viewer and I found your project. My issue is to find the right dependencies to build it.

After install catkin and rosscpp, I am still getting an error "Could not find the required component 'roscpp'"

Installation commands on ubuntu distro: apt install catkin apt install ros-noetic-roscpp

The binary version should be available through apt with the standard ROS source list: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation/Ubuntu#Installation.2FUbuntu.2FSources.Setup_your_sources.list

sudo apt install ros-noetic-log-view

To build it from source, it's the same as any ROS1 package. I usually use catkin_tools because it is more friendly than straight catkin.

1. Follow the Ubuntu ROS instructions linked above to install base ROS packages.
2. Install and initialize rosdep: http://wiki.ros.org/rosdep
3. Install catkin_tools:

   $ python3 -m pip install catkin-tools

4. Create a catkin workspace with the package

   $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
   $ cd ~/catkin_ws
   $ catkin init
   $ catkin config --extend /opt/ros/noetic
   $ catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
   $ git clone https://github.com/hatchbed/log_view.git src/log_view

5. Install dependencies

   $ rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src

6. Build

   $ catkin build

7. Run

   $ source devel/setup.bash
   $ rosrun log_view log_viewer

Thank you very much @malban ! I was not used to using ROS. I will install those packets point by you!

All the procedures pointed out above worked. Thanks for your support!
