Package Summary

A collection of .mk include files for building ROS architectural elements. Most package authors should use cmake .mk, which calls CMake for the build of the package. The other files in this package are intended for use in exotic situations that mostly arise when importing 3rdparty code.

/!\ NOTE: when using rospack to find the mk-package, the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH needs to be set accordingly. Thus, you should have a dependency to roslib in your package.xml, as this provides the respective environment hooks that set this.

CMake-driven builds

Most packages, and all stacks, use CMake to build. But every package must provide a Makefile if it does any building. The following files are provided to simplify the Makefile in most packages, and all stacks:

  • cmake.mk

  • cmake_stack.mk

Use these files by including them, as explained in the rosbuild documentation and stack-building documentation.

3rdparty code, from tarball

For a 3rdparty package that pulls code from an tarball (or equivalent downloadable file), you should use download_unpack_build.mk, like so:

all: paramiko

TARBALL = build/paramiko-1.7.5.tar.gz
TARBALL_URL = http://pr.willowgarage.com/downloads/paramiko-1.7.5.tar.gz
SOURCE_DIR = build/paramiko-1.7.5
MD5SUM_FILE = paramiko-1.7.5.tar.gz.md5sum
UNPACK_CMD = tar xzf
include $(shell rospack find mk)/download_unpack_build.mk

paramiko: $(SOURCE_DIR)/unpacked
        mkdir -p src
        cd $(SOURCE_DIR) && python setup.py build 
        rm -rf src
        mv `python find_pylib.py paramiko $(SOURCE_DIR)/build/` src
        touch paramiko
clean:
        -rm -rf src $(SOURCE_DIR) paramiko
wipe: clean
        -rm -rf build

The following variables should be defined prior to including download_unpack_build.mk:

  • TARBALL: local path to which the tarball should be downloaded; it must start with build/

  • TARBALL_URL: fully-qualified URL from which to retrieve the tarball

  • SOURCE_DIR: source directory that you want the tarball unpacked into; it must start with build/

  • INITIAL_DIR (optional): the name that the tarball will naturally unpack into, if different from SOURCE_DIR; it must start with build/

  • UNPACK_CMD (optional): the command to apply to the tarball to unpack it (default: tar xzf)

  • MD5SUM_FILE (optional, but highly recommended): The name of a file containing the md5 hash of the tarball, in the format produced by the UNIX command md5sum

  • TARBALL_PATCH (optional): a list of patch files to apply to the tarball after unpacking (e.g. 'TARBALL_PATCH = patch1.patch patch2.patch')

After including download_unpack_build.mk, you can make targets depend on the $(SOURCE_DIR)/unpacked file; it will be created (and updated) after the tarball has been downloaded, unpacked, and (optionally) patched.

Examples

Some packages that use download_unpack_build.mk:

3rdparty code, from SVN

For a 3rdparty package that pulls code from an SVN repository, you should use svn_checkout.mk, like so:

all: installed

SVN_DIR = build/stage-svn
SVN_URL = https://playerstage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/playerstage/code/stage/branches/stage-ros
SVN_REVISION = -r 8262
include $(shell rospack find mk)/svn_checkout.mk

installed: $(SVN_DIR) patched Makefile.stage
        cd $(SVN_DIR) && autoreconf -i -s
        cd $(SVN_DIR) && ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/../..
        cd $(SVN_DIR) && make install
        touch installed

clean:
        -cd $(SVN_DIR) && make clean
        rm -rf stage installed patched

wipe: clean
        rm -rf $(SVN_DIR)

The following variables should be defined prior to including svn_checkout.mk:

  • SVN_DIR: the name of the local working copy to be created

  • SVN_URL: the URL of the repository to check out from

  • SVN_REVISION (optional, but highly recommended): the revision to check out at, including the -r flag (e.g., -r 8262)

  • SVN_CMDLINE (optional): how to invoke svn (useful if you want to pass extra arguments, e.g. svn --non-interactive)

  • SVN_PATCH: list of patch files to apply to the working copy after checkout

After including svn_checkout.mk, you can make your targets depend on the patched file; it will be created after the working copy is checked out and (optionally) patched.

Examples

Some packages that use svn_checkout.mk:

3rdparty code, from Git, Mercurial, Bazaar

Similar to svn_checkout.mk, there are also:

  • git_checkout.mk

  • hg_checkout.mk

  • bzr_checkout.mk New in Fuerte

These are based on svn_checkout.mk, so you can generally use them by substituting the appropriate three-letter abbreviation for SVN.

Optimizing SVN

svn checkouts are both slow and more prone to downtime. A hybrid approach using the tarball for distribution, and a fancy makefile can be done with a script like the bullet package https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/geometry/tags/geometry-1.0.0/bullet/Makefile.bullet This uses the svn_checkout script to build the tarball when developing, but most users simply use the tarball.
