Hello Stefan, Hello Tobias, Hello Donald, Hello all others,
we have reached the point where all ros_comm packages build successfully. You can see the current state of the commit c5cb1388137fcf11c9fdc2c96b95ab73a59ed716 at http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https://github.com/bmwcarit/meta-ros-test-reports/blob/master/report-2013.04.11-06_37_38.html There are still some warnings, but I think those are easy to address. In my opinion, it is now time to: - build, run and test an image with a minimal ROS system. - An initial step is the core-image-ros-groovy-qemux86-running-roscore recipe for the qemu VM. If you set ROS_ROOT=/usr and ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311, you can start roscore, but on my machine it breaks down with ERROR: rosout is not built. Please run 'rosmake rosout'. - consolidate our recent work: - by reviewing our recipes once more - by moving subjects to other upstream repositories, such as meta-oe or into the various ROS repositories. (I know this is a lot of work for discussions, explanations, but this will improve the quality of the ROS packages or our recipes in the long run.) - suggest and discuss new goals, milestones and next steps. What do you think? What ideas do you have for the next steps? Lukas
