Subject: Re: [ros-users] Running RVIZ from source code (not from binaries)
Hi,


I will try to make my questions a bit more clear.


1) Is it possible to set-up a development environment in an IDE (ideally
Netbeans) so that the IDE understands the code, the dependencies, and whatever
else it needs. I want to be able to click to the buttons "compile" and "run"
just like a Java project, for example. (I imagine that the "compile" button
would have to call "rosmake" and the "run" button would have to call "rosrun".)


2) Where is the documentation for RVIZ?


3) What is the "starting point" of RVIZ? I found that visualizer_app.cpp seems
to be called pretty early.


4) How do I change the title bar of the main RVIZ window? Which file do I need
to modify?



Also, created a folder where I pasted RVIZ's source code (from SVN). From
Terminal, I ran rosdep install rviz, but it gave me a bunch of errors (see
below). However, rosmake rviz worked perfectly. rosrun rviz rviz as well. I
suspect that it does not run the code from that folder, but rather the RVIZ
binaries installed on my computer. To test, I modified the OnInit() method in
visualizer_app.cpp to add this:


int foo = 1 / 0;
cout << "foo";
if{


Clearly, the compilation and runtime should have failed. But, rosmake and rosrun
worked again.


Could you please shed some light on this?


Thank you,


Benoit
