[ros-users] ROS Tutorial under OSX 10.6

[DRamachandran at hra.com]

Ken,

 This would be awesome.  One more thing that would be nice would be if 
OGRE 64-bit worked as well. Currently there are patches on the OGRE forums 
for doing this but they have not been incorporated into the main 
distribution and I haven't got around to trying them out.

I'll note that a lot of the Diamondback work we're doing is expressly to 
try and make this bringup easier, though it is hard to maintain compatible 
with Apple's development choices.

The new rx stacks moves the wx dependencies out of ROS that are so 
problematic on OS X -- we've also announced that we're switching the Qt in 
the future, as wx seems to not have its act together anymore.

We've also moved visualization_msgs into common_msgs, which should reduce 
the pollution of "visualization_common" within the stack dependency chain. 
Also, future versions of RViz (not Diamondback, but possible E-turtle), 
will be Qt based.

The last change we're hoping to make is to switch all of the 
Python-related dependencies on OS X to use the builtin Python interpreter 
and easy_install/pip. Originally we had brought things up to be compatible 
with 10.4 and 10.5. If we drop 10.4 support, we no longer need to depend 
on Macports for Python, which I think is a fairly big win given the 
additional headaches we've had there.

 - Ken

I haven't.  Many things were working well on 10.5, including rx* and
rviz.  Things pretty much went to hell when I upgraded to 10.6.  I'm
now dual-booting my laptop into Ubuntu for ROS development.  That will
eventually annoy me enough to figure out how to get things going on
10.6.
