ROS的包编译有两种方法(我知道的),一种是用rosmake,这种方法简单;另一种是用catkin_make,这种方法更方便包的管理和开发。这两种方法都是先建立工作空间workspace(类似于vs下的解决方案,用来管理很多的项目),然后建立包package(类似于vs下的项目),最后利用rosmake或者catkin_make进行编译和运行。学会第一种方式,再去学习第二种就很简单了。源码附在每个小节的后面。
1、rosmake编译包package
1.1、创建工作空间
在开始具体工作之前,首先创建工作空间,并且为工作空间设置环境变量到~/.bashrc中,如果要查看已有的空间路径,可以用查询命令
$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
你将会看到如下的信息:
/home/horsetail/dev/rosbook:/home/horsetail/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/jade/share:/opt/ros/jade/stacks
这里的创建空间实际上就是先建立一个文件夹,然后把文件夹的路径设置到环境变量~/.bashrc中。例如我们这里创建目录~/dev/rosbook作为工作空间。
首先执行命令:
$ cd ~$mkdir -p dev/rosbook
然后将创建的路径加入到环境变量中,执行如下命令:
$ echo "export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/dev/rosbook:${ROS_PACKAGE_PATH}" >> ~/.bashrc
$ .~/.bashrc
这样,我们就完成了工作空间的配置,注意:ROS安装的时候,一定要把ROS的环境变量也加到~/.bashrc中。这里还需要把ROS。接下来就是在这个空间下创建包了。
1.2、创建包
可以手动创建包,但是非常的繁琐,为了方便,最好使用roscreate-pkg命令行工具,该命令行的格式如下:
roscreate-pkg [package_name] [depend1] [depend2] [depend3] ...
命令行包含了要创建包的名字,依赖包。
我们的例子中,创建一个叫mypacakge1的 新包,命令如下:
$ cd ~/dev/rosbook
$ roscreate-pkg mypackage1 std_msgs roscpp rospy
过一会弹出如下的信息,表示创建成功:
Created package directory /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1
Created include directory/home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/include/mypackage1
Createdcpp source directory /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/src
Created packagefile /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/Makefile
Created packagefile /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/manifest.xml
Created packagefile /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/CMakeLists.txt
Created packagefile /home/horsetail/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/mainpage.dox
Please edit mypackage1/manifest.xml and mainpage.dox to finish creating your package
好了这样就完成了包的创建,我们发现在mypackage1的目录下有一个src文件夹,我们接下来就是网这里添加源程序了。
1.3、代码编辑和编译
参考ROS官方网站的教程,我们编写一个编写简单的消息发布器和订阅器 (C++),即编写俩个源文件talker.cpp和listener.cpp,并将他们保存到~/dev/rosbook/mypackage1/src目录中。
发布器就是一个说话者talker,/mypackage1/srctalker.cpp代码如下:
#include "ros/ros.h"#include"std_msgs/String.h"#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{ros::init(argc, argv,"talker");ros::NodeHandle n;ros::Publisher chatter_pub= n.advertise<:string>("chatter", 1000);
ros::Rate loop_rate(10);
int count = 0;while(ros::ok())
{std_msgs::String msg;
std::stringstream ss;
ss<< "hello world" <
msg.data=ss.str();
ROS_INFO("%s", msg.data.c_str());chatter_pub.publish(msg);
ros::spinOnce();
loop_rate.sleep();++count;
}return 0;
}
订阅者就是一个听话人listener,他不停地接受talker广播出来的消息,并显示到屏幕上,/mypackage1/srclistener.cpp的代码为:
include "ros/ros.h"#include"std_msgs/String.h"
void chatterCallback(const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr&msg)
{
ROS_INFO("I heard: [%s]", msg->data.c_str());
}int main(int argc, char **argv)
{ros::init(argc, argv,"listener");ros::NodeHandle n;ros::Subscriber sub= n.subscribe("chatter", 1000, chatterCallback);ros::spin();return 0;
}
好了,把上面的源文件放到mypackage1/src下就可以了。
接下来,要告诉编译器如何去找到这两个文件。你需要打开mypackage1/CMakeLists.txt,在文件的末尾添加两行命令:
rosbuild_add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
rosbuild_add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)
添加后的文件结构是这样的:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)
# Set the build type. Options are:
# Coverage :w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization, w/ code-coverage
# Debug :w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization
# Release :w/o debug symbols, w/optimization
# RelWithDebInfo :w/ debug symbols, w/optimization
# MinSizeRel :w/o debug symbols, w/optimization, stripped binaries
#set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo)
rosbuild_init()
#set the default pathfor built executables to the "bin"directory
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
#set the default pathfor built libraries to the "lib"directory
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
#uncommentifyou have defined messages
rosbuild_genmsg()
#uncommentifyou have defined services
rosbuild_gensrv()
#common commandsfor building c++executables and libraries
#rosbuild_add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} src/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} another_library)
#rosbuild_add_boost_directories()
#rosbuild_link_boost(${PROJECT_NAME} thread)
#rosbuild_add_executable(example examples/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(example ${PROJECT_NAME})
rosbuild_add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
rosbuild_add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)
万事具备,这样我们就可用rosmake命令来编译这个mypackage1包了。执行下面的命令:
$ rosmake mypackage1
输出下面的信息:
horsetail@horsetail-book:~$ roscore
... logging to/home/horsetail/.ros/log/6eae5b9c-628d-11e5-8bd7-3859f9722953/roslaunch-horsetail-book-6447.log

哇,编译通过,大家注意到实际上也是用catkin进行编译的,额。我们来运行一下吧。
1.4、运行
首先打开一个新的终端,启动初始化ROS,执行命令:
$ roscore
然后再打开一个新的终端,启动talker节点,执行命令:
$ rosrun mypackage1 talker
然后再打开一个新的终端,启动listener节点,执行命令:
$ rosrun mypackage1 listener
这个时候,可以看到listener的窗口不断的接收到数据,如下图所示:
[ INFO] [1443085572.809193925]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085572.909233411]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.009267370]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.109118292]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.209204095]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.309314244]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.409269818]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
[ INFO] [1443085573.509309147]: I heard:[I am the talker node]
这说明talker广播的消息是能够被listener接收到的,因此程序可以正常运行了。好了,至此基于rosmake的编译和运行完成了。
1.5、源码
2、catkin_make编译包package
catkin命令创建工作空间和包相对要复杂些,但是熟悉以后对项目的管理是非常有利的,因此官方也建议使用第二种方式。
2.1、创建工作空间
在开始具体工作之前,首先创建工作空间,并且为工作空间设置环境变量到~/.bashrc中,如果要查看已有的空间路径,可以用查询命令
$ echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
你将会看到如下的信息:
/home/horsetail/dev/rosbook:/home/horsetail/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/jade/share:/opt/ros/jade/stacks
这里的创建空间实际上就是先建立一个文件夹,然后把文件夹的路径设置到环境变量~/.bashrc中。例如我们这里创建目录~/dev/rosbook作为工作空间,和第一种方法类似。
下面我们开始创建一个catkin 工作空间:
$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd~/catkin_ws/src
即使这个工作空间是空的(在'src'目录中没有任何软件包,只有一个CMakeLists.txt链接文件),你依然可以“build”它:
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/
$ catkin_make
接下来首先source一下新生成的setup.*sh文件,把它加入环境变量到~/.bashrc文件中:
$ source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
到此你的工作空间环境已经搭建完成
2.2、创建包
首先切换到之前创建的catkin工作空间中的src目录下:
$ cd~/catkin_ws/src
现在使用catkin_create_pkg命令来创建一个名为'mypackage1'的新程序包,这个程序包依赖于std_msgs、roscpp和rospy:
$ catkin_create_pkg mypackage1 std_msgs rospy roscpp
这将会创建一个名为beginner_tutorials的文件夹,这个文件夹里面包含一个package.xml文件和一个CMakeLists.txt文件,这两个文件都已经自动包含了部分你在执行catkin_create_pkg命令时提供的信息。
和第一种方法类似类似,把1.3节中的两个talker.cpp和listener.cpp拷贝到mypackage1/src下。
接下来,要告诉编译器如何去找到这两个文件。你需要打开mypackage1/CMakeLists.txt,在文件的末尾添加命令:
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
target_link_libraries(talker ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)
target_link_libraries(listener ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
整理后的mypackage/CMakeLists.txt内容结构如下:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(mypackage1)
## Find catkin and any catkin packages
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp rospy std_msgs)
## Declare ROS messages and services
#add_message_files(FILES Num.msg)#默认是不注释掉的,编译会出错
#add_service_files(FILES AddTwoInts.srv)#默认是不注释掉的,编译会出错
## Generate added messages and services
#generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)#默认是不注释掉的,编译会出错
## Declare a catkin package
catkin_package()
## Build talker and listener
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
target_link_libraries(talker ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(talker beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp)
add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)
target_link_libraries(listener ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(listener beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp)
注意:CMakeLists.txt中的有三那个命令是保留的:
## Declare ROS messages and services
#add_message_files(FILES Num.msg)
#add_service_files(FILES AddTwoInts.srv)
## Generate added messages and services
#generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)
这是关于服务消息方面的,这个项目中并没有用到,因此必须要注释掉,否则编译会出现错误如下:

这个错误也折腾了我一阵子,以此铭记之。
好了,接下来就是编译它了。
2.3、编译
catkin_make 是一个命令行工具,它简化了catkin的标准工作流程。你可以认为catkin_make是在CMake标准工作流程中依次调用了cmake 和 make。
使用方法:
# 在catkin工作空间下
$ catkin_make [make_targets] [-DCMAKE_VARIABLES=...]
记得事先source你的环境配置(setup)文件,在Ubuntu中的操作指令如下:
$ source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
切换到catkin workspace :
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/
执行编译:
$ catkin_make
输出如下编译信息:
Base path: /home/horsetail/catkin_ws
Source space:/home/horsetail/catkin_ws/src
Build space:/home/horsetail/catkin_ws/build
Devel space:/home/horsetail/catkin_ws/devel

恭喜编译成功了,接下来可以尝下先。
2.4、运行
运行的步骤和1.3是一样的,请参阅1.3的详细描述。因为按照两种方法编译了两个相同的包名和节点,因此在启动时会提示选择哪一个节点进行运行,按照提示选择即可。
