Hi guys, So far I've been able to install ROS on Nokia N900. Most troubles came from installing dependencies, as not all deb packages are available on this platform, and aren't detected by rosdep. I needed to build some and hope to upload them to Maemo extra-devel repository so there are available for whoever wants them. I haven't been able to cross-compile ROS on a scratchbox, because ROS requires bash 3 whereas only bash 2 is available on my scratchbox. Installing bash 3 didn't help, as whatever the path I type, it's always bash 2 which gets executed. Some scratchbox voodoo I guess. Anyway this means ROS needs to be compiled on N900 (requires several hours). I still need to work on packaging, particularly for Boost libraries. By default headers get installed on /usr/include/boost-1_37/boost, and can't be found by rosmake & friends. I tried to play with rosboost-cfg and pass /usr/include/boost-1_37, but it seems ROS_BOOST_ROOT needs to be the directory containing "include", not the one containing "boost". Am I wrong ? Any other way to specify a specific location for Boost libraries ? This can be helpful as different installed versions are sometime needed. Compiling boost with --layout=system fixes the problem though, I guess I'll use this option while re-packaging boost. I have several questions about the building process: - is it possible to register a dependency ? I mean, "boost" is installed for instance, still rosdep claims "boost" dep couldn't be resolved. How can I tell it to skip it ? - why doesn't "rosmake -i" mark packages as built (ROS_NOBUILD) by the time it is, not just at the end of all the build process ? Once N900 deb packages are cleaner, I'll update the wiki page with detailed instructions. I'm now trying to compile ROS tutorials and hoping to control some turtles from my N900. Next step is to play pool :) Cheers Seb -- Sebastien Lelong -- View this message in context: http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/Installing-ROS-on-Nokia-N900-tp916726p933337.html Sent from the ROS-Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
