same problem when catkin_make in jade! have you solved it?

[libing64]

hector_pose_estimation package is in the following project, https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_localization compile hector_pose_estimation first and then compile hector_quadrotor

[Leslie-Fang]

Sorry,I still got the same problem. Here is what I have done

Firstly I have catkin_make the package of https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_localization
in the master branch.

Then I catkin_make the package https://github.com/Leslie-Fang/hector_quadrotor.git in the jade-devel package~~~

Is there any tutorial about how to use hector related package?

See http://wiki.ros.org/hector_quadrotor/Tutorials.

Firstly I have catkin_make the package of https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_localization in the master branch.

You need branch catkin of hector_localization (or install dependencies as binary packages).

There is a rosinstall file called hector_quadrotor.rosinstall in each of the hector_quadrotor branches with all the dependencies:

• ROS indigo: https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_quadrotor/blob/indigo-devel/hector_quadrotor.rosinstall
• ROS jade: https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg/hector_quadrotor/blob/jade-devel/hector_quadrotor.rosinstall

The variant tutorials.rosinstall mentioned in the ROS wiki additionally contains hector_slam and is only required to launch the demos in package hector_quadrotor_demo.

In general, for all catkin-based ROS source builds, rosdep is the tool of choice to make sure that all dependencies are installed:

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

This command would install the released binary packages of all dependencies if invoked in a workspace with only hector_quadrotor. Unfortunately this variant of the rosdep install command is not very well documented, although it is the most commonly used since catkin has been introduced, since rosdep install <package name> would only work after the workspace has been successfully built and the generated setup.sh has been sourced.

Hi,

I've tried what you said, which is to use rosdep. While when I want to use this command, there is also an error. Could you help me find out what is wrong here?

Btw, I've also git clone all the package described in the rosinstall file.

Which Ubuntu distro are you using? ROS kinetic is only available for Ubuntu Wily and Xenial. If you have an older Ubuntu version installed, you should use ROS indigo or jade.

Or you simply have to invoke sudo apt-get update once before calling rosdep. ros-kinetic-gazebo-ros-control should be available: http://repositories.ros.org/status_page/ros_kinetic_default.html?q=gazebo_ros_control

@meyerj Hi,

I am currently using Xenial.

I have tried your solution, it still came out the same result, that it cannot locate that package. Is there other way to install?

[nm46nm]

thanks, @meyerj the command
rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src is very useful to solve the dependencies problem.

For lunar users : rosdep install --from-path src --ignore-src --rosdistro lunar -r
