populate_sdk does not generate include folder #989

Open mehmety888 opened 2 years ago

mehmety888 commented 2 years ago

I have an existing OpenEmbedded Project, and an image called core-image-production.

I followed the instructions below, added layer meta-ros to conf/bblayers.conf and built the image. https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/wiki/OpenEmbedded-Build-Instructions

I also added the following line to core-image-production.bb require path/to/image/ros1-image-roslaunch.bb

It builds without problems. However, it does not generate include folder at opt/ros/melodic/

What should I do for it to generate an include folder ?

Thanks,

With a yocto SDK build, you do not get the /opt/ros/<distro> folder, the ros libraries and headers are stored in the sysroot folder for the target under /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/.

@windelbouwman I know, it should be at here: /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/aarch64-poky-linux/opt/ros/melodic

These are the folders inside melodic folder: bin, etc, lib, share, .catkin. There should also be an include folder but there isn't.

In my case I have to use this include path: /usr/local/oecore-x86_64/sysroots/corei7-64-oe-linux/usr/include/, which includes both linux generic headers, as well as the ros package headers. Btw, I'm using ROS2, maybe this is different with ROS1.
