build issue with catkin build ROS1

[rua0ra1]

Hi,
I am trying to build tsid repo with catkin build ROS1. But, I am having problem with eigenpy as shown in figure

But I have already installed the eigenpy by using
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-eigenpy

I really appreciate if you can help me to solve this issue.

Can you try again after sudo apt-get install python-is-python3 ?

sorry @nim65s it didn't work. Are there any build instructions for ros?. Ideally I want to use tsid c++ library in ros to build a hierarchical control for our robot. But, So far, I haven't seen any build instructions for ros . And also I have seen examples in python. Are there any examples for rosc++ or c++?. Am I missing something here?. Thank you and I really appreciate your help

Standard CMake build instructions seems to work fine for me on ros noetic. At least this work without issue:

FROM ros:noetic

RUN --mount=type=cache,sharing=locked,target=/var/cache/apt \
    --mount=type=cache,sharing=locked,target=/var/lib/apt \
    apt-get update -y && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends \
    ros-noetic-pinocchio

ADD https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/tsid/releases/download/v1.7.0/tsid-1.7.0.tar.gz /
ADD https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/eiquadprog/releases/download/v1.2.8/eiquadprog-1.2.8.tar.gz /
WORKDIR /src

RUN . /opt/ros/noetic/setup.sh \
 && tar xvf ../eiquadprog-1.2.8.tar.gz \
 && cmake -B build -S eiquadprog-1.2.8 \
 && cmake --build build \
 && cmake --build build -t test \
 && cmake --build build -t install \
 && rm -rf build eiquadprog-1.2.8 \
 && tar xvf ../tsid-1.7.0.tar.gz \
 && cmake -B build -S tsid-1.7.0 \
 && cmake --build build \
 && cmake --build build -t test \
 && cmake --build build -t install \
 && rm -rf build tsid-1.7.0

Hum, actually, some unittests are failing in TSID, I'll have a look.

Can you provide a way for me to reproduce your issue ?

Hi @nim65s , thanks for the help. I was trying to build and use tsid as a catkin package.

# Step 1: Create a Catkin workspace
cd ~
mkdir -p catkin_ws/src

# Step 2: Clone the TSID repository into the src directory
cd ~/catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/tsid.git

# Step 3: Build the TSID package
cd ~/catkin_ws
catkin build tsid


I installed tsid using robotpkg-py3*-tsid earlier. I went through the python examples without having any issue.

Do you think previous installation using robotpkg conflicting with building with catkin package. Thank you

You must not have the same package installed twice. You can either use our softwares from robotpkg- or from ros-, but not at the same time. Having 2 different versions of eigenpy / hpp-fcl / pinocchio / eiquadprog / tsid / etc. active at the same time will result in errors.

For your setup, I don't have catkin on ros noetic, but catkin_make / catkin_make_isolated. And these are working fine:

FROM ros:noetic

RUN --mount=type=cache,sharing=locked,target=/var/cache/apt \
    --mount=type=cache,sharing=locked,target=/var/lib/apt \
    --mount=type=cache,sharing=locked,target=/root/.cache \
    apt-get update -y && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -qqy --no-install-recommends \
    git \
    ros-noetic-eiquadprog \
    ros-noetic-pinocchio

WORKDIR /ws/src
RUN . /opt/ros/noetic/setup.sh \
 && git clone --recursive https://github.com/stack-of-tasks/tsid \
 && cd .. \
 && catkin_make_isolated

@nim65s thank you so much for detail answer and I really appreciate it. I will follow the setup instructions given above. Sorry for the trouble.
