My attempt to install ROS Melodic on macOS Mojave (10.14) with https://github.com/mikepurvis/ros-install-osx

Dependencies

rosdeps.yaml

Use the file attached.

pycurl

Install it manually:

PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=openssl LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include" pip install --no-cache-dir pycurl

ROS packages

C++11 / C++14

Compile everything with:

catkin build -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=14

## c++11 support for class_loader

Enable c++11 for the following packages:

• pluginlib_tutorials
• diagnostics_aggregator
• nodelet
• rosbag_storage

Add c++11 flag to CMakeLists.txt:

add_definitions(-std=c++11)

Boost Python

If you are using Boost 1.67, then the python component should be changed to python27, e.g.:

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem python27)

in the following packages:

• cv_bridge
• camera_calibration_parsers

rosbag_storage

OpenSSL

In the terminal:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

Add the following to CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(OpenSSL REQUIRED openssl)
pkg_check_modules(LibCrypto REQUIRED libcrypto)
find_package(Gpgmepp CONFIG REQUIRED)

# Add OpenSSL includes, modify the line
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${console_bridge_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${BZIP2_INCLUDE_DIR} ${OpenSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS})


link_directories(${LibCrypto_LIBRARY_DIRS})

Also change the line in if-block:

  set(AES_ENCRYPT_LIBRARIES "crypto" "gpgme")

to

  set(AES_ENCRYPT_LIBRARIES "crypto" "Gpgmepp")

rosbag and pcl_ros

OpenSSL

In the terminal:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig"

In the CMakeLists.txt:

# Find OpenSSL
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(OpenSSL REQUIRED openssl)

# Add it includes
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ${BZIP2_INCLUDE_DIR}
  ${OpenSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

diagnostics_aggregator

Replace local GTest copy with the system one.

In CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
# Add corresponding includes
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${GTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS})

# Remove dependency to local gtest
add_executable(analyzer_loader test/analyzer_loader.cpp)

# Link libraries
target_link_libraries(analyzer_loader diagnostic_aggregator ${GTEST_BOTH_LIBRARIES})

actionlib and laser_assembler

No matching conversion from double to boost milliseconds

Happens with Boost 1.67, similar to ros/roscpp_core#79.

To fix, change the line in actionlib/src/connection_monitor.cpp:

boost::posix_time::milliseconds(time_left.toSec() * 1000.0f));

to

boost::posix_time::milliseconds(int(time_left.toSec() * 1000.0f)));

Similarly for laser_assembler/test/test_assembler.cpp:

Change

cloud_condition_.timed_wait(lock, boost::posix_time::milliseconds(1000.0f));

to

cloud_condition_.timed_wait(lock, boost::posix_time::milliseconds(1000));

image_view

Pango

In the CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(Pango REQUIRED pango)

link_directories(${Pango_LIBRARY_DIRS})

#...

include_directories(
  #...
  ${Pango_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

target_link_libraries(
  #...
  ${Pango_LIBRARIES}
)

@jp-pino The error tells you that the Pango library is missing in your system. Just install it manually with brew install pango. Though, it is possible you will hit similar issues later because normally Pango is installed as a dependency of Cairo, which I think some ROS packages need.

@bgromov That's what I thought, but when I brew install pango this is what I get:

Warning: pango 1.44.5 is already installed and up-to-date
To reinstall 1.44.5, run `brew reinstall pango`

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Also, thank you for your help :)

@jp-pino For some reason the pkg-config is not able to find the pango.pc config file on your system. For example, I have it linked here by the Homebrew: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/pango.pc, the actual file is somewhere in the Homebrew cellar, i.e. inside /usr/local/Cellar. What you can try:

• Re-link the library with brew unlink pango && brew link pango (may require --force option, but be careful with that).
• If that doesn't help, try to find the pango.pc file and make a link to it manually. E.g. find /usr/local/Cellar -name pango.pc and cd /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ && ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/pango/1_44_5/lib/pkgconfig/pango.pc pango.pc
• It is also possible that the pkg-config is looking in a wrong directory, so try to reinstall it with brew. Check that the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH. I am not entirely sure whether it overrides defaults paths or provides additional locations to look at. You can try to set it to something like export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/pango/1_44_5/lib/pkgconfig/, though this is quite an ugly workaround.
