Revision history [back]

We're experimenting with a msvc ros_comms sdk. It's not official yet, but if you want to just quickly jump in and test, you can download it from the files section on win-ros-pkg [ros-sdk-0.1-x86-vs10.zip].

Compiling and linking against that sdk from an msvc project will let you run a publisher using one of the common msg stacks we've included (std_msgs/navi_msgs/geometry_msgs). If you need a custom msg format, simply generate your headers in linux and then copy the msg_gen/cpp/include/__pkg__ directory into the sdk's include directory on your windows box.

The sdk is a debug, 32 bit msvc dll, built against the code in ros' electric release. It's also possible to build everything from scratch on windows using cmake, but that's a bit more difficult and still a bit volatile.
