Cartographer—ROS中的安装

前面几步没什么好说的，个人是看的是官网https://google-cartographer-ros.readthedocs.io/en/latest/中部分，也可参考http://blog.exbot.net/archives/2852k中记录，这里主要记录一下关于引用库Ceres的步骤，都知道XX的原因，可苦了国内做研究的众人员，其实部分也相当简单，如果从谷歌git中的库下载有问题，可以自己另外从源码网址下载。

一、在安装cartographer前，需要系统满足如下的要求：

• 64-bit, modern CPU (e.g. 3rd generation i7)
• 16 GB RAM
• Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)
• gcc version 4.8.4
• ROS Indigo

     我用的是Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus), ROS  Kinetic, 在kobuki上使用

二、安装过程及命令：

# Install wstool and rosdep.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y python-wstool python-rosdep ninja-build

 

# Create a new workspace in 'catkin_ws'.

mkdir catkin_ws

cd catkin_ws

wstool init src

 

# Merge the cartographer_ros.rosinstall file and fetch code for dependencies.

wstool merge -t src https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googlecartographer/cartographer_ros/master/cartographer_ros.rosinstall

wstool update -t src

 

主要在上面这步，由于源码中引用库Ceres，我用的软件为Lantern(使用步骤http://www.cnblogs.com/ikuyka/p/5647880.html)，但仍提示

fatal: unable to access 'https://ceres-solver.googlesource.com/ceres-solver.git/': Failed to connect to ceres-solver.googlesource.com 

port 443: 连接超时
       Exception caught during install: Error processing 'ceres-solver' : [ceres-solver] Checkout of https://ceres-solver.googlesource.com/ceres       -solver.git version 1.12.0rc4 into /home/jack/catkin_ws/src/ceres-solver failed.

解决办法，到提示这些错误之前，cartographer与cartographer_ros部分已经配置完成，关于这个引用库可以用命令 

git clone https://github.com/ceres-solver/ceres-solver

OK....这样就搞定了...

# Install deb dependencies.

rosdep update

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro=${ROS_DISTRO} -y

 

# Build and install.

catkin_make_isolated --install --use-ninja

source install_isolated/setup.bash

后续...
