[ros-users] actionlib over multiple packages

[Axelrod, Benjamin]

I am trying to learn how to use actionlib.  I would like my client and
server to use the actionlib generated messages from another package.  I
believe this should be possible, but I get a compilation error when
compiling the client or server.  

 

Specifics:

I took the turtle_actionlib tutorial and split it into 3 packages:
trtl_msgs, trtl_client, and trtl_server.  trtl_msgs contains no code and
only has the .action files.  I modified the CMake file accordingly and
this rosmakes fine.  (The .msg files get generated properly including
the .h files and .py files.)  When I try to rosmake the client, I get
this error:

 

/home/baxelrod/ros-tutorials/ros_pkg_tutorials/trtl_client/src/shape_cli
ent.cpp:4:35: error: trtl_msgs/ShapeAction.h: No such file or directory

 

I have double checked that trtl_msgs is listed as a dependency in the
trtl_client manifest.  And I can see that the trtl_msgs/ShapeAction.h
file does exist.  I don't know why it is not being found.

 

Platform info:

Linux version 2.6.28-19-server (buildd at rothera) (gcc version 4.3.3
(Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #62-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 02:58:24 UTC 2010

ROS version: Boxturtle

 

I have attached my (very simple) sample code.  Is this a limitation of
actionlib, or am I missing something obvious?

 

Thanks,

-Ben
