Hi Jörg, thanks for looking into the packages. * Jörg <jkur+debian-science@corsario.org> [2018-06-13 10:41]:
But for bigger packages this is to complex. For example i would like to use MoveIt! But i haven't been able to even compile it. Debian libraries and the source code don't use the same versions of headers, etc.
Can you send more detailed error logs? I remember doing it without problems some time ago.
I tried "lunar" and "kinetic" branches for the source repositories where available.
Buster should be kinetic more or less.
Maybe i could install from source with rosinstall_generator and wstool, but then i wouldn't get the benefit of the maintained Debian Packages.
I used rosinstall_generator, try to play with --exclude RPP and --exclude-path /usr/share to only get needed packages. Not sure if the second one is still needed, I don't have a running system at hand.
It's very difficult to find documentation on plain Debian. Most of the time people seem to use the packages.ros.org repositories. This hasn't worked for me either, because of some very strange display errors in Gazebo. Can someone point me in the right direction? What would be the preferred way to get a running ROS-Stack on Debian (buster)? Of what use are rosdep, rosinstall, wstool in plain Debian? Are they even useful?
Yeah, we are still a small community and help is always welcome. You can also join #debian-robotics on irc.debian.org to talk to us directly. Also, opening bug reports if you find some would be a great help as well :).
Cheers Jochen
