Catkin / Hydro Plans? #12

Closed davetcoleman closed 10 years ago

davetcoleman commented 11 years ago

Hi, I've a team interested in possibly using Visp with Baxter in ROS Hydro and just wondering if there has already been any work done in catkinizing this stack and if there are any obstacles from doing so. Thanks!

Hi, definitively this work has to be done. This is in my todo list but not at the top level yet. I will tackle this work as soon as possible. The obstacle I see is the bullet dependency that hasn't migrate from rosbuild to catkin. A workarround is to remove this dependency and use ViSP to do the same.

Yes, this is in our todo-list Actually @fspindle bullet is now a system dependency in Hydro so this simplify the whole thing a lot.

Thanks for the response! I've never used ViSP so am hesitant to jump into modifying it (and I'm maintaining lots of other pkgs), but am more than happy to do testing and feedback once it gets ported.

Hi, I am a PhD student, regular ViSP user but an absolute newbie to ROS. I just installed ROS Hydro on an Ubuntu12.04LTS virtual machine. So, if you actually port to catkin and need some help in testing, just let me know. Manikandan

I am also very interested in this as we use ViSP in our projects (University Jaume I), is there any change on this topic?

fspindle commented 10 years ago

All the packages were ported to catkin. They are available on https://github.com/lagadic in the groovy-devel branch for visp_tracker and in the catkin branch for visp_bridge, visp_auto_tracker, visp_camera_calibration, visp_eye2hand_calibration.

The packaging of ViSP 2.8.0 with bloom should be available soon in ros-groovy-visp-2.8.0-4 and ros-hydro-visp-2.8.0-8 packages. A previous version exists but is still not usable since the library was build as static. A work arround consists in building ViSP from source (available from https://github.com/laas/visp-release select the right tag) and installing it in /opt/ros/hydro or groovy.

Please feel free to test the catkin port and give us feedback.

ros-hydro-visp and ros-groovy-visp packages are available since yesterday.
