Error at rosmake ccny_ground_station --rosdep-install

Question

Hi,

I am trying to install the package ccny_ground_station.

On the command

$rosmake ccny_ground_station --rosdep-install

I get the error as below.

I guess the error is because of missing file asctec_msgs/Height.h. I even found a ticket related the issue. But no solution. http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/trac/ticket/35

Other than this I get one more error of " undefined reference to `g_thread_init "

I am using cturtle on ubuntu 9.10. I am trying to use the ground station tool for the quadrotor I am building.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

I just update ccny_ground_station to the point where it compiles, if you download the latest version (from git) of our other stacks.

I can confirm it compiles successfully on diamond-back. Make sure dependencies have been also cloned, for example the "mav_tools". Then, you could just type: $ rosmake ground_station --rosdep-install

Answer 2

I would just stay away from the ccny_ground_station at the moment. The package has not been maintained for about a year. We'll look into it, but for now I would suggest you something else such as qgroundcontrol although it does not seem to be ROSified just yet.

Thanks for the update. I could get it working. But I had to make one more change to get the rosmake running without any error.
