building_our_software_stack

Build and run our software stack on Ubuntu 18.04

Build and run our software stack on macOS

This installation assumes you are running python3. In addition, it's assumed you have Homebrew installed.

Install the LAAS packages

brew tap gepetto/gepetto
brew install pinocchio gepetto-viewer-corba-python3

A few followup steps:

• Fix issues with https://github.com/Gepetto/gepetto-viewer-corba/issues/124#issuecomment-600235430
• If starting gepetto-gui displays an error like "omniorbserver.so" : "The shared library was not found." run ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/gepetto-viewer-corba-python3/5.3.2/lib/gepetto-gui-plugins/omniorbserver.so /usr/local/lib

Error "Python.h file not found"

In case compiling the workspace fails with the error message

`Python.h` file not found

you have to export the Python header file. For this, first find the installation folder of Python.h from your homebrew distribution:

$ brew ls -v python3 | grep Python.h
# Example output
# /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.7/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/include/python3.7m/Python.h

and then export the folder in the terminal you are calling catkin build from, like:

$ export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=<folder from last command>
$ catkin build
