ROS学习手记 - 2 Create and Build ROS Package 生成包（C++）

For ROS experienced user, You can just skip to the Constuction about ROS Package usage:

For Quick Reference(C++): http://blog.csdn.net/sonictl/article/details/46764855#t5

For Quick Reference(Python): http://blog.csdn.net/sonictl/article/details/46764855#t15

=== 在上一篇的基础上，Create并Customize了Package之后，要Build Package ===

来源：http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/BuildingPackages

1. 确认source有没有完成 (版本： hydro)：

   $ source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash

2. Using catkin_make

使用方法：

   # In a catkin workspace
   $ catkin_make [make_targets] [-DCMAKE_VARIABLES=...]

这里catkin_make使用了CMake 的workflow来操作，科普一下这个workflow:

3. 如何写ROS的Publisher and Subscriber(C++)

因为要涉及到对CMakeLists.txt的写法，需要先了解这个文章：http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/WritingPublisherSubscriber%28c%2B%2B%29
具体关于CMakeLists.txt文件，请看http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/CMakeLists.txt

4. 关于workspace下的build devel src文件夹

The build folder is the default location of thebuild space and is wherecmake andmake are called to configure and build your packages.
The devel folder is the default location of thedevel space, which is where your executables and libraries go before you install your packages.

5. Build the package

catkin_make命令执行情况如下：

exbot@ubuntu:~/catkin_ws$ ls
build  devel  src
exbot@ubuntu:~/catkin_ws$ catkin_make
Base path: /home/exbot/catkin_ws

====== 【总结 for Quick Reference (C++)】 ======

Constuction about ROS Package:

Create ROS Workspace(catkin)
Create ROS Package (catkin)
Build ROS Package (catkin)
Delete ROS Package (catkin)

== 1. Create ROS Workspace (catkin)==

create a catkin workspace

   $ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
   $ cd ~/catkin_ws/src
   $ catkin_init_workspace

Make
Even though the workspace is empty (there are no packages in the ‘src’ folder, just a single CMakeLists.txt link) you can still “build” the workspace:

     $ cd ~/catkin_ws/
     $ catkin_make

Source

    $ source devel/setup.bash

Check:

     $ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

/home/youruser/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/indigo/share:/opt/ros/indigo/stacks

=== 2. Create an Empty ROS Package (catkin) ===

确认你的catkin Workspace：~/catkin_ws/

2.     $ cd ~/catkin_ws/src

创建package

     $ catkin_create_pkg <package_name> [depend1] [depend2] [depend3] ... [dependn]

# for example :

   $ catkin_create_pkg beginner_tutorials std_msgs rospy roscpp

编译catkin Workspace:

     $ cd ~/catkin_ws
     $ catkin_make

Source the generated setup file:

     $ . ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

=== 3. Customize ROS Package (catkin) ===

Add / Edit the source code file in your /src/ path
Customize the package.xml ref this page
Customize the CMakeLists.txt

Edit the code in ~/catkin_ws/src/<package_name>/src/

Add source code file: SouceCode.cpp or SourceCode.py etc.

Modify the CMakeFile.txt , (refer the details about CMakeLists.txt : link )

Modify the CMakeList.txt file:

    $ cd ~/catkin_ws/src/<package_name>
    $ gedit CMakeList.txt

add/modify these lines as below:

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
)

include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

add_executable(<package_name> src/<soucefile_name>.cpp)

add_dependencies(<package_name> ${${PROJECT_NAME}_EXPORTED_TARGETS} ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})

target_link_libraries(<package_name>
   ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
 )

![](https://csdnimg.cn/release/blogv2/dist/pc/img/newCodeMoreWhite.png)

=== 4. Build the ROS Package (catkin) ===

ref page: link

Source your environment setup file
catkin_make [make_targets] [-DCMAKE_VARIABLES=…]
Source env setup file: （Optional）

   $ source /opt/ros/%YOUR_ROS_DISTRO%/setup.bash

Catkin_make

  $ cd ~/catkin_ws
  $ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

For more advanced uses of catkin_make see the documentation: catkin/commands/catkin_make

To add the workspace to your ROS environment you need to source the generated setup file:

  $ . ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

Rebuilding a Single catkin Package

If you update a single package in your catkin workspace and want to re-build just that package, use the following variation of catkin_make:

   $ cd ~/catkin_ws
   $ catkin_make --pkg <package_name>

=== 5. Use ROS Package (catkin) ===

Here we also offere a simple launch file that interfaces to two microcontrollers using two serial connections, put the code into
“~/catkin_ws/src/<package_name>/launch/<launchfile_name>.launch” file:

1. <launch>
2. <node pkg="r2SerialDriver" type="r2SerialDriver" name="r2Serial0" args="0 /dev/ttyUSB0 9600" output="screen" >
3. <remap from="ucCommand" to="uc0Command" />
4. <remap from="ucResponse" to="uc0Response" />
5. </node>
6. 
7. <node pkg="r2SerialDriver" type="r2SerialDriver" name="r2Serial1" args="1 /dev/ttyUSB1 9600" output="screen" >
8. <remap from="ucCommand" to="uc1Command" />
9. <remap from="ucResponse" to="uc1Response" />
10. </node>
11. 
12. </launch>

Usage:

$ rosrun <package_name> <node_name> arg1 arg2 arg3 ...

$ roslaunch <package_name> <launchfile_name>.launch

=== 6. Delete ROS package ===

=== 6. Doing a “make clean” with catkin ===

When using the older rosmake build system, you could use the command:

      $  rosmake --target=clean

in a top level stack or package directory to remove all build objects. Unfortunately, this feature does not exist when using catkin. The only way to start with a clean slate, is to remove all build objects from all your catkin packages using the following commands:

CAUTION! Do not include the src directory in the rm command below or you will lose all your personal catkin source files!

      $ cd ~/catkin_ws
      $ \rm -rf devel build install

You would then remake any packages as usual:

      $ cd ~/catkin_ws
      $ catkin_make
      $ source devel/setup.bash

=== 7. Finally: 总结Package的基本概念 ===

相对ROS的角色和地位。
Package文件夹至少要包含的文件：package.xml & CMakeLists.txt &
拒绝嵌套
Packages 在catkin workspace中的文件分布结构
Package Contains two necessary elements:

  CMakeLists.txt
  package.xml

Add source code file: SouceCode.cpp or SourceCode.py etc.

Modify the CMakeFile.txt , (refer the details about CMakeLists.txt for Python:Writing a ROS Python Makefile )

Modify the CMakeList.txt file:

$ cd ~/catkin_ws/src/<package_name>
$ gedit CMakeList.txt

add/modify these lines as below:

 //#（You may not need to modify the CMakeList.txt file for your python proj. ）
