scripts, notes and patches to install ROS Kinetic on Void Linux.
This repository contains scripts to automatically install ROS Kinetic Kame from source on the Void Linux distribution.
This script installs all dependencies for ROS Kinetic in its minimal configuration.
To run the script you have to call it with root privileges. The scripts drops it root privileges when called using sudo to create a ROS workspace that is writable by the non-root user.
$ sudo ./install-minimal.sh
The scripts are mainly an automated way of installing ROS Kinetic from source. It resembles the operations of the following guide in the ROS wiki: Installing from source
I had to manually install console_bridge
before building.
Also, rospkg/os_detect.py
had to be patched in order to detect Void Linux as a valid OS.
See Patches below for the actual modifications.
It may be worth the work to add Void Linux as a rosdep platform. Documentation and Tutorials about rosdep can also be found in the ROS wiki: rosdep
This patch adds a detector class for Void Linux. Without this patch rosdep won't accept Void Linux as a valid Linux distribution.
ROS Kinetic, Void Linux and other software products used and listed in the script have their respective licenses.
