catkin make and running hrl_tilting_hokuyo
I'm running hydro and switching over from new rosbuild to using catkin. I read through the catkin conceptual overview and tutorials but have trouble implementing.
I'm trying to get the tilting hokuyo set up. I 'catkinized' the hrl_hardware_drivers but having trouble with the hrl_lib. It wasn't included in the package so I found it externally. When I run:
rosrun hrl_hokuyo hokuyo_processing.py
It goes me the error:
src/hrl_hokuyo/hokuyo_processing.py", line 43, in <module> import hrl_lib.transforms as tr ImportError: No module named hrl_lib.transforms
I believe the cmakelist and package.xml file was edit appropriately to include hrl_lib. I want to do it right and not just add the hrl_lib folder into the directory.
Thanks!
Heres is the cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(hrl_hokuyo)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS hokuyo_node sensor_msgs rospy hrl_lib)
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
catkin_package(
DEPENDS hokuyo_node sensor_msgs rospy hrl_lib
CATKIN_DEPENDS # TODO
INCLUDE_DIRS # TODO
LIBRARIES # TODO
)
Here is the package.xml
<package>
<name>hrl_hokuyo</name>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<description>Python class that uses hokuyo_node from ros-pkg to get scans from
UTMs and player to get scans from URGs.</description>

Edit #1
I'm still having trouble with it. Is the hrl_lib package just a folder with the python files in it? This doesn't feel right since there are other folders with the library as well. Here is my structure:
/path_to_workspace/
/src
/hrl_hokuyo
/setup.py
/src
/hrl_hokuyo
/hrl_lib
Thanks for the quick response and breaking it down for me.
Edit#2
I didn't edit it much except just setting the path.
from distutils.core import setup
from catkin_pkg.python_setup import generate_distutils_setup
d = generate_distutils_setup(
packages=['hrl_lib'],
package_dir={'/path_to_directory_containing_hrl_lib/': 'src'}
)
setup(**d)
Thanks for the comment and telling me the preferred method to posting responses!
Can you post your setup.py? It is likely that you are not declaring your packages correctly.
Another option is for you to push this to github (or something similar) and point me to it.
I'll work on putting this onto github
I think you have the `package_dir` wrong, see my edit to my question and this: http://docs.python.org/2/distutils/setupscript.html#listing-whole-packages
