The webrtc_ros depends on webrtc. Make sure webrtc is installed properly.

Do you have webrtc_ros insatll guide after ros was installed. I was installed webrtc but it got many error. Trying some solution but also fail .Thnaks Part of error : -/opt/ros/melodic/include/webrtc/media/base/adapted_video_track_source.h:16:10: fatal error: absl/types/optional.h: No such file or directory #include "absl/types/optional.h"

Answer 1

Please see the following error:

/home/jetbot/catkin_ws/src/webrtc_ros/webrtc_ros/include/webrtc_ros/ros_video_capturer.h:6:10: fatal error: webrtc/media/base/adapted_video_track_source.h: No such file or directory
 #include <webrtc/media/base/adapted_video_track_source.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Basically, the webrtc_ros depends on webrtc. Therefore, please make sure webrtc is installed before compilation.

On the other hand, I suggest installing pre-built binaries using apt because it automatically takes care of installing dependencies. Please see below:

$ sudo apt install ros-melodic-webrtc
$ sudo apt install ros-melodic-webrtc-ros

Hi , I used apt install "ros-melodic-webrtc" and "ros-melodic-webrtc-ros" but it got same error.

When I go to path : "/opt/ros/melodic/include/webrtc/media/base/" , I found .h file name is :"adaptedvideotracksource.h".

Should I modify in "ros_video_capturer.h" file : "#include <webrtc/media/base/adapted_video_track_source.h>" to "#include <webrtc/media/base/adaptedvideotracksource.h>" ?

Thanks!

In the original question, you are trying to install webrtc_ros from the source. I advised installing pre-built binaries using apt. It should work well. However, you are reporting the same error. Therefore, I request you enumerate all of the commands you are using.

Comment by asps946701 on 2022-10-14:
Sorry ,I may have misunderstood.

If I use apt to install webrtc_ros , I will not require to build webrtc_ros from source ?

Now I install webrtc_ros from apt command is no problem.

thank you very much

Yes. You are right. You do not need to build from source.

Now I install webrtc_ros from apt command is no problem.

I am glad you made it work. May I request you to click on the check mark symbol, ✔ icon, located at the top left side of this answer? It will mark this question as answered.
