I made a repository where you can create issues if you have any problem during manual installation of ROS1. It will hopefully help people to find their problem more quickly. If you have any problem with the steps below, please:
- Check if someone else had the same problem below this gist,
- Create an issue on this repository otherwise.
The process is pretty similar to the standard installation from source except for some fixes that you will have to make during the installation. I will keep the same header so you can keep a track on both guide at the same time (follow the official website for more explication, I will only write the steps to make).
To install bootstrap dependencies
sudo apt-get install python3-rosdep python3-rosinstall-generator python3-vcstools python3-vcstool build-essentialThe first problem that you will encounter while following the official guide is the lacking of some packages on the apt. In order to resolve this problem, do these steps:
- Init rosdep:
sudo rosdep init - Modify /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list as following:
# os-specific listings first
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/osx-homebrew.yaml osx
# generic
yaml <enter base.yaml address>
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/python.yaml
yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/rosdep/ruby.yaml
gbpdistro https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ros/rosdistro/master/releases/fuerte.yaml fuerte
# newer distributions (Groovy, Hydro, ...) must not be listed anymore, they are being fetched from the rosdistro index.yaml instead- Go to this gist and click Raw. Replace <enter base.yaml address> in the file by the address of the raw file.
- Save the file (require sudo rights).
It can happens that the package hddtemp can't be found with an error message similar to this:
diagnostic_common_diagnostics: [hddtemp] defined as "not available" for OS version [*]
For Ubuntu 22.04, it is possible to install it thanks to an online archive. The solution I found was on this StackOverflow post. What you have to do is:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:malcscott/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install hddtemp
rosdep updatePlace yourself in the working folder of your choice. Create a ROS Workspace:
mkdir ./noetic_ws
cd ./noetic_wsDownloading ROS1 source code.
rosinstall_generator desktop --rosdistro noetic --deps --tar > noetic-desktop.rosinstall
mkdir ./src
vcs import --input noetic-desktop.rosinstall ./srcInstall all the dependencies with rosdep:
rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-packages-from-source --rosdistro noetic -yIf you are on another distro than classical Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu (e.g. Manjaro, Mint, ...),
add --os=ubuntu:jammy at the end of the precendent command:
Let's build the sources. Run the following commands.
./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseIt's likely that you will have some errors while building the sources. In the next subsections, you will have the needed steps to resolve the issue.
Don't worry about the warning and notes (especially about deprecated BOOST_PRAGMA_MESSAGE ), only focus on the errors.
The second error that you will likely encounter is linked to rosconsole and log4cxx. It means that you are likely to have log4cxx 11 or 12. To fix that you need to follow the changes suggested on this PR and especially this commit. Here is a quick summary of what to do:
- Open src/rosconsole/src/rosconsole/impl/rosconsole_log4cxx.cpp and replace its content by this version of the file
- Same thing with src/rosconsole/test/thread_test.cpp with this version
- Same thing with src/rosconsole/test/utest.cpp with this version
The third error that you will likely encounter is a C++ compilation version. It's a problem where the packages wants to be compiled with C++11 and use objects from C++17.
The solution that I found was to change in every CMakeLists.txt of the packages that generate this errors the C++ version to use.
You can use this small python script to do that for you. Just place it at the root of your ROS workspace and run
python3 change_cpp.pyIf you want to install noetic in the working folder, run the installation with:
./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseIf you want to install noetic in /opt/ros/noetic you can follow these steps:
- Run
sudo mkdir /opt/ros/noetic - Run
sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/noetic
I get this error when running the line
rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-packages-from-source --rosdistro noetic -ycan anyone help with this
