#26

[justinberi]

I've tested this on ROS noetic with catkin_make from the top level and believe this is the correct way to do building. Please follow the ROS conventions rather than using a build script as @Ericsii has done.

The PR required the following modification to package.xml

git diff package.xml
diff --git a/package.xml b/package.xml

I've also tested under ROS2 humble with colcon build from the workspace dir and it works.

Update package.xml

[Timple]

Awesome!

Although to be complete you might also update the instructions in the README.md.

Funny how these lidar manufacturers handle ignore these PRs: RoboSense-LiDAR/rslidar_sdk#48
They seem to think the whole software stack/build system revolves around the sensor driver.

[MCFurry]

Thx for this!
One question though, ROS2 releases older than Humble are deprecated now: https://dlu.github.io/ros_clock/index.html
Hence, can we ditch the if-guard here?
https://github.com/Ericsii/livox_ros_driver2/blob/6f1a61e785452170a195887400f1d2950c5abfb8/CMakeLists.txt#L285
Which checks for Humble only, but in principle should also be used on Iron and Rolling as well.

Sure, I think this could be removed. But I need some tests on Iron and Rolling

[Timple]

Verified on iron 🙂

[Ericsii]

@MCFurry I removed the condition for humble. It might work in newer versions of ros2

[MCFurry]

We noticed! Thanks for that! Seems to work fine for Iron now as well.

Although we're also using https://github.com/pixmoving-auto/Livox-SDK2.git on update/robobus branch for the time being, since then both packages are ROS-packages and can now be easily automatically installed.

[Timple]

That being said, that implementation can slightly be improved by keeping it a pure cmake package and only add a package.xml file 🙂

Thanks, build successfully tested on humble + rolling
