In order to use RosoutPanel in C++ I include rxtools/rosout_panel.h in my class and depend on rxtools in manifest.xml. In Fuerte this works fine, but in Groovy I get a compile error because it cannot find rosout_panel.h:

fatal error: rxtools/rosout_panel.h: No such file or directory

The .h-file is present on the file system (/opt/ros/groovy/share/rxtools/src/rxtools), so why is it not found?

I believe it's just your typo but rosout_panel.h not rosoutpanel.h ok?

Sorry about that, I am including rosout_panel.h in the code :-)

And I assume you're using rosbuild via rosmake? If so, can you share CMakeLists.txt?

I made a very simple example that works in Fuerte but not Groovy: http://www8.cs.umu.se/~ringdahl/ros/rxtest.tar.gz

rxtools is deprecated and replaced by rqt_common_plugins in groovy

But since the package (and the h-file) is still there it should still work right?

does roscd rxtools work for you in groovy? It does not for me, so I can see why it does not find the file. Just having the .h file in your fuerte workspace will not help your groovy compilation

Yes I can roscd to it and the h-files are present in the Groovy workspace as well. You have to install rxtools separately in Groovy, so that may be why why you cannot roscd to it. I used apt-get to install it.

The problem is that the .h files are not inside /opt/ros/groovy/include/rxtools but in /opt/ros/groovy/share/rxtools/src/rxtools. You could fix that by just copying the files into the right folder or use rqt which would be the nicer solution

kalectro ( 2013-04-17 12:54:16 -0600 )edit

They are in the share folder in Fuerte as well. Is this something that has changed in Groovy that they have to be in the include folder?

I haven't tested it on my own, but the phenomenon reported sounds strange.

Meanwhile, @kalectro is right. Functionality of rxtools/rosout_panel.h should be found in rqt_console -- Since its API isn't exactly the same, you have to find the equivalent.

A problem for you if you need to stick to C++ may be that it's written in python. One (boring) workaround is to have 2 pkgs, one for python to utilize rqt_console's API and the other in C++.
