Hi,

If the things you did are generic, feel free to edit the wiki installation instructions directly. If they are specific to your board, you could create new instructions ie here http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/BeagleBoard

Also make sure that the problems still exist for I know that at least the first change you mentioned has been fixed.

Other similar instructions on how to compile for a different architecture are

http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Raspbian/Source

Thank you for your effort

Kai

Subject: [ros-users] Compiling ROS Groovy from source on Ubuntu

Hello,

I recently compiled ROS Groovy from source on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.1 install, using the instructions here:

http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Source

I had to make the following changes to make it work, what is the right place to report this?

• I did what I described here:

• http://answers.ros.org/question/53401/error-when-compiling-pcl-for-ros-groovy-install-from-source-on-ubuntu-12041/

• I installed a bunch of packages:

• sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev libfltk1.3-dev automake libtool libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev libtar-dev libcegui-mk2-dev

• I symlink'd the .cmake files from ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/share/rosbuild to ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/share/ros/core/rosbuild/rostoolchain.cmake
• I removed common_rosdeps from a whole bunch of manifest.xml files

Thanks,
