Make a contributionBuilds: ROS Support
You can control how ROS packages will be built by specifying catkin build parameters. rapyuta.io provides a handful of catkin build parameters when adding a ROS package. They are:
- ROS packages
A list of ROS packages in the catkin workspace that you want to build.
The ROS package name must begin with an alphabet (A-Z, a-z), followed by alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) or an underscore ( _ ) or at most one forward-slash ( / ) - Blacklist
A list of ROS packages in the catkin workspace that you do not want to build even if another package depends on it.
The ROS package name must begin with an alphabet (A-Z, a-z), followed by alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9) or an underscore ( _ ) or at most one forward-slash ( / ) - Make arguments
A list of make options that you intend to use while building the ROS package. - CMake arguments
A list of cmake options that you want to use while building the ROS package. - Catkin Make arguments
A list of make options that you want to use while building ROS packages.
The catkin build parameters are optional. If you do not want to specify any of them, the catkin build recipe will build all ROS packages in its catkin workspace.
The context directory is a specific project directory (folder) relative to the git repository. It is copied to the platform catkin builder’s workspace, and subsequently, catkin build parameters are applied to it. In the absence of a context directory, all of the folders in the git repository are built.
To add a set of catkin build parameters follow the below steps.
- On the left navigation bar, click Development>Builds
- Click on ADD NEW BUILD
- Enter build name, git repository and select Build Recipe as Catkin.
- In the next step Click Add Parameter against CATKIN BUILD PARAMETERS
You may provide multiple sets of catkin build parameters for a single ROS-based repository. Thus you can run multiple catkin builds on the ROS-based repository.
