Cannot do "make eclipse-project" in an exsisting ROS package - eclipse

When I create a new ROS package using:
$ roscreate-pkg test std_msgs rospy roscpp
and then I proceed to it, typing:
$ make eclipse-project
Everything is OK.
But when I roscd into an existing ROS package and type the above command, it returns :
make: *** No rule to make target `eclipse-project'. Stop.
Is it because the package isn't created by roscreate-pkg?

did you follow the steps here ? Ros Wiki on IDSs

I know the cause for make having no rule is when the rule isn't found in a Makefile.
I was having the same problem with my project and found that it had no Makefile.
Your question gave me the insight to run roscreate-pkg and voilĂ  that folder had a Makefile. The entire contents are:
include $(shell rospack find mk)/cmake.mk
I was able to solve the same problem by having a Makefile in my project with the same content. I did it by copying the Makefile from the dummy project I created via the following commands:
$ roscreate-pkg dummy std_msgs rospy roscpp
$ cp src/dummy/Makefile src/my-package/Makefile

"ros2 launch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch.py" results in package not found

These are the commands that were used:
$ source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
ROS_DISTRO was set to 'noetic' before. Please make sure that the environment does not mix paths from different distributions.
$ export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:~/turtlebot3_ws/src/turtlebot3_simulations/turtlebot3_gazebo/models
$ export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=burger
$ ros2 launch turtlebot3_gazebo turtlebot3_world.launch.py
Package 'turtlebot3_gazebo' not found: "package 'turtlebot3_gazebo' not found, searching: ['/opt/ros/foxy']"
Is it possible that a sub-directory is missing in the path?
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:~/turtlebot3_ws/src/turtlebot3/turtlebot3_simulations/turtlebot3_gazebo/models
Alternatively, you may use the following if you do not require a workspace:
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:/opt/ros/foxy/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/models

How do I link a static lib to a yocto autotools project in Eclipse

I have created a Yocto autotools project in Eclipse (based on a Hello World project).
I wanted to separate my code into a number of libs and then link them in a form of static libs (.a) to my project.
Now I have one app and a number of static libs. However, no matter what I try I can't get my code to compile. Each separate lib compiles and produces a .a file, but my app doesn't.
After searching the web I have a possible solution - add a direct link to my static libs:
MyApp_CPPFLAGS="-I$LOCATION"
MyApp_LDADD="/home/xxx/workspace/MyApp/Encoding2/Debug/libEncoding2.a"
This is my Makefile.am file, where libEncoding2.a exist in that path.
The error I get is:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `"/home/xxx/workspace/MyApp/Encoding2/Debug/libEncoding2.a"', needed by `MyApp'. Stop.
I already built the lib so I am not sure why a make try is even needed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Because you use static library in your recipes, you can make a soft link to the library in your project source folder, i.e., hello-world-0.1, using following command to link to your static library
ln -s /home/xxx/workspace/MyApp/Encoding2/Debug/libEncoding2.a
and then edit your bb file, hello-world_0.1.bb, adding the source path to your URL
SRC_URI = " \
file://libEncoding2.a \
file://hello-world.c \
"
and in the do_compile block, using follow command to compile your project
do_compile() {
${CC} hello-world.c libEncoding.a -o hello-world
}
do_install() {
install -d ${D}${bindir}/Hello
install -m 0755 enet ${D}${bindir}/Hello
}
After you bitbake your project
bitbake hello-world
and run mkefidisk.sh, you can find the hello-world in /usr/bin/Hello/hello-world. Hope this hint can help you.
BTW, I am not familiar with autotools, I just use make to bitbake the recipes. And your static library should also be created in Yocto not in Eclipse I think. So I think your path for the static library maybe not correct, it should locate in ~/yocto/build/tmp/... or some where like this. In my case, it was located in ln -s ~/yocto/build/tmp/sysroots/intel-corei7-64/usr/lib/libEncoding.a depends on your target environment.
Depending on whether you're using libtool or not, you should have either a noinst_LTLIBRARIES or noinst_LIBRARIES list of targets, respectively. This should only include the name of your library (libEncoding2.la or libEncoding2.a.)
You should never use a full path for this, and you should not quote Make variables, so what you were looking for is
MyApp_CPPFLAGS = -I$LOCATION
MyApp_LDADD = libEncoding2.la # or .a
And that would work.
But on the other hand it seems like you should take some time to understand how autotools work, as it might not be what you're looking for. With a grain of salt you can take my Autotools Mythbuster as a starting point.

coq Hello World example (with opam) can't find libraries

I was following a coq HelloWorld tutorial (code below), and couldn't get the program to compile. I followed the installation steps and installed opam install coq:io:system. My opam installation is at the default location ~/.opam. But still, I got an error about
Toplevel input, characters 53-67:
Error: The reference System.effects was not found in the current environment.
This is with either emacs/proofgeneral or coqide (8.4pl6, ubuntu 14.04). Does any one know how to fix the issue?
Here's the code which I copied into a file called hello_world.v and loaded into emacs/coqide:
Require Import Coq.Lists.List.
Require Import Io.All.
Require Import Io.System.All.
Require Import ListString.All.
Import ListNotations.
Import C.Notations.
(** The classic Hello World program. *)
Definition hello_world (argv : list LString.t) : C.t System.effects unit :=
System.log (LString.s "Hello world!").
-- Update ---
#gtzinos, I followed the readme in https://github.com/clarus/coq-hello-world. This time there was no complaint about System.effects, but there was a new error about Extraction.launch not found. I tried:
git clone https://github.com/clarus/coq-hello-world.git
cd coq-hello-world
./configure.sh && make
and got:
"coqc" -q -R src HelloWorld src/Main
File "/.../coq-hello-world/src/Main.v", line 32, characters 19-36:
Error: The reference Extraction.launch was not found in the current
environment.
I tried also to make in the extraction folder, but without success. Any pointers?
New versions of the coq:io and coq:io:system libraries were just released. Run:
opam update
opam upgrade
to make sure you have coq:io:system in version at least 2.3.0. Now Extraction.launch should be available. System.effects has been replaced by System.effect.

Solaris package upgrade

I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around how Solaris 11 does packaging. I understand that there is a yum type packaging approach, but I would expect there to be a rpm -i and rpm -U approach that allows a package to be delivered and then installed or upgrade.
For now I have tracked down how to make a package, ie pkgmk and pkgtrans. Given this I can create a "foo_1.0.pkg" file that can be installed like this:
pkgadd -d foo_1.0.pkg
However I can not figure out how to upgrade this package with "foo_2.0.pkg":
root#hostname # pkgadd -d foo_2.0.pkg
The following packages are available:
1 foo foo
(x86) private_build
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all
Processing package instance <foo> from </root/foo_2.0.pkg>
foo(x86) private_build
Current administration requires that a unique instance of the <foo>
package be created. However, the maximum number of instances of the
package which may be supported at one time on the same system has
already been met.
No changes were made to the system.
What am I doing wrong? It would appear that i should use pkg update, but this seems to imply that I need to release my pkg in a repo.
First, you aren't using Solaris 11 packaging (IPS) but the legacy SVR4 packaging.
With the latter, you cannot upgrade a custom package. The only way is then simply to remove the old package and install the newer one, which is what rpm -U is doing under the hood anyway.
pkgrm foo
pkgadd -d foo_2.0.pkg foo
I had the same problem, but I was able to workaround it by passing a config file into the cmd. This is especially useful in a script when used with the "echo |" as it bypasses the confirmation prompt as well. The config file overwrites the default install properties which are located in a file here: /var/sadm/install/admin/default. The key is the instance=overwrite line. I changed some of the others as well, to avoid any other prompts that may come up. As an alternate solution you can change the default file directly and not have to reference the additional config file.
with myprog1.0 (or 2.0) already installed run the following command.
echo | pkgadd -a /opt/myprog/install.conf -d myprog2.0
contents of /opt/myprog/install.conf file:
mail=
instance=overwrite
partial=nocheck
runlevel=nocheck
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=nocheck
space=ask
setuid=ask
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
networktimeout=60
networkretries=3
authentication=quit
keystore=/var/sadm/security
proxy=
$UPDATE
This variable does not exist under most installation environments. If it does exist (with the value yes), it means that a PKG with the same name, version and architecture is already installed on the system or that the installing PKG will overwrite an installed PKG. The original BASEDIR is then used.
So, this variable you can use in preinstall or postinstall script for any updation.

cmake to eclipse project conversion issue

I am trying to create an eclipse project from a cmake project .
I used the following command
cmake -G "Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" ./`
it gives the following error
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:119 (find_package):
By not providing "FindGlib.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Glib", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Glib" (requested
version 2.28) with any of the following names:
GlibConfig.cmake
glib-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "Glib" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"Glib_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "Glib"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I have glib installed . actually it couldn't resolve the path i guess. wherever find is there in cmake file , it is giving the smiler errors. please i suggest a way out, i badly need to load this project in cmake. Thanks.
Here is line 119 where error message is pointing
find_package(Glib 2.28 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Glib_INCLUDE_DIRS})
list(APPEND LIBS ${Glib_LIBRARIES})
add_definitions(${Glib_DEFINITIONS})
When you call find_package(MyPackage) in a CMake file, it tries to find a FindMyPackage.cmake configuration in its system path (/usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules on my Ubuntu box), or in the directory you did specify as CMAKE_MODULE_PATH).
The solution to your problem is to create a directory for modules in your source tree (e.g. CMakeModules), put in it a FindGlib.cmake file that you can find using Google, and add
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/CMakeModules)
in your CMakeLists.txt before the actual call to find_package.
(your problem is not related to the Eclipse generator, you could remove that from the title of the question).
