Orocos+Ruby toolchain

Some further updates...

With the rtt-2.0-mainline set, the autoproj build stops at compiling
orocos.rb (the last step). Since I only care for orogen at this point,
and it was succesfully built I created a test project like in the
manual.
I had to set these paths though, probably because installation was not
completed yet:

export RUBYLIB=$HOME/src/orogen/orocos/orogen/lib:$HOME/src/orogen/build/lib/ruby/1.8:$HOME/src/orogen/build/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/src/orogen/build/lib/pkgconfig

I also sourced env.sh as instructed.

What is the standard way of doing this ? Shouldn't these exports
belong in the env.sh ?

Next I'll try to find out how the renaming scripts work on the
templates of orogen...

Yes, but the env.sh is generated at the end of a successful build to avoid
overwriting a complete env.sh by a partial one. I'm thinking about the best
way to handle this case. I should probably create a partial env.sh if it does
not exist yet. See my previous mail to disable the build of orocos.rb in your
installation.

I don't think this is needed. The templates expose very little of the RTT
internals, so the transition should be painless. Right now, the only user-
visible change are the new return values of Port#read().

It was quite straightforward, see the patch in attachment for orogen.

I tried it on your example, but it wouldn't compile as long as I used
std::vector (not related to 2.0 transition). There's clearly something
missing in the docs.

Also when running rake dist:test, I get tons of ' warning: instance
variable @toolkit not initialized' warnings. Annoying.

These issues remain when running rake dist:test:
* ReadOnlyPointer does not have a default constructor. It should also
have a copy constructor and assignment operator. This is required for
OutputPort<ReadOnlyPointer I don't know exactly how ROP must work, it looks like you are
relying on the default copy constructor... How do you suggest to fix
this ?

* One of your tests uses rtt/marsh/XMLMarshaller.hpp. I removed this
class from the 2.0 branch since it's pretty useless. I don't know why
your test needs it.

* template<typename T> struct BufferGetter : public
RTT::types::TypeTransporter in Toolkit.cpp implements createBlob.
TypeTransporter no longer has these functions. How is this used ? The
equivalents in ToolkitCorba.cpp, which inherit from the
CorbaTemplateTypeInfo are ok, but had to be renamed from
createBlob/updateBlob to createAny/updateFromAny.If you require a form
of createBlob, you need to define your own subclass of TypeTransporter
which has these as virtuals, and then inherit BufferGetter from that
class. (it looks like you're not using the ORO_TYPELIB_MARSHALLER_ID
transport though).

Here's a snippet of conversation I had with Peter related to autoproj vs.
rosbuild.

First of all, some of you may (or may not) have noticed that autoproj does use
manifest.xml and osdeps files, using the same format than rosbuild. This is
because autoproj also requires this information and I did not want to reinvent
the wheel.

That being said, I did not "do" autoproj just for the fun of it (disclaimer:
this is not fun).

I would add that rosbuild is *really* too verbose and too difficult to customize
for my taste. But YMMV.

And to answer the "but you could have extended rosbuild instead": I developped
the code that is now the guts of autoproj in early 2006 at LAAS. autoproj just
adds a nicer configuration interface on top of it. Making autoproj-like
functionality on top of rosbuild would have required redevelopping that part,
and therefore would have been much more work.

Autoproj prior to 1.4 were resetting the environment to the a default value.
This is not the case anymore, so that should work fine now. Add

Autoproj.set_initial_env
in autoproj/init.rb to go back to the old behavior.

Yes. The catch being that orogen needs "the rest".

List it in the ignore_packages section of autoproj/manifest

I'm having a dependency problem now, and don't know what caused it. It

My guess is that the OCL cmake code on my git repository (that comes from the
official one) messes up with PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and therefore requires that RTT

The overrides file is YAML so it requires that you write YAML properly. Among
other things, it requires proper indentation. I'll add a note in the
documentation about it.

> Any clue where I can find how to influence the build order ?
Build order is determined by dependencies and then by place in the layout
section. What is your problem ?

No. I added this to my overrides.yml file:

No no, I build everything using autoproj.

I found it. It looks like when my manifest layout is:

layout:
- typelib
- utilmm
- utilrb
- orocos/orogen
- orocos/ocl
- orocos/rtt

It works, but when I change it to:

layout:
- typelib
- utilmm
- utilrb
- orocos/rtt
- orocos/ocl
- orocos/orogen

It doesn't. It looks like the layout is processed in the wrong direction ??

First, could you work on a rtt2 branch on your orogen so that we don't mix up
unnecessarily ?

Second, I guess you did not add a manifest.xml file that lists the dependencies
of the OCL, so obviously autoproj cannot solve the dependencies. Look at my
version of the OCL to check out the manifest. As a temporary solution you can
add

ocl = Autobuild::Packages['orocos/ocl']
ocl.depends_on "orocos/rtt"

in your autoproj/overrides.rb file.

What you would better do is edit autoproj/overrides.rb and add

ocl = Autobuild::Package['orocos/ocl']
ocl.define "BUILD_MOTION=NO"
ocl.define "BUILD_CARTESIAN=NO"
ocl.define "BUILD_NAXES=NO"

to avoid issues.

This works just by chance. The layout determines order for subdirectories. For
instance, in my project we do:

layout:
- tools:
dfki.orocos
- asguard:
dfki.drivers

In that case, autoproj builds all in tools/ and only then will build all in
asguard/.

But in your case, the build order is only determined by dependencies since
there is only one level in the layout. So, to change it, either fix your
manifest.xml files or add code in the overrides.rb.

I was doing so in another repo, you just saw part of my 'messing with
stuff'. I'll push a rtt-2.0-mainline branch to github for orogen.

I'll add the manifest. I tried to merge your new_data_flow changes
into the mainline. git didn't succeed into tracking all my renames ( I
probably shouldn't have done it in one huge commit ). So it fails to
track some files. The result of a merge is:

The only wrongly tracked files are
src/corba/DataFlowI.cpp,src/corba/RemotePorts.cpp,
FileDescriptorActivity.hpp, PortInterface.cpp and
ReadWritePointer.hpp. There are a bunch of conflicts. I tested a
rebase too, 6 patches applied cleanly, the rest not. The rebase seemed
a bit confused too, we're not gonna use it anyway.

Anyway, dataports&transports changed so much internally, that any
changes will just be harder to back-port.

What I do need from this branch are the bugfixes (there are some) and
the manifest files. There is some stuff going on in TypeInfo and
TypeTransporter that I don't need, or has become obsolete.
Suggested course of action ?

The careful reader would have of course have read

ocl = Autobuild::Package['orocos/ocl']
ocl.define "BUILD_MOTION", "NO"
ocl.define "BUILD_CARTESIAN", "NO"
ocl.define "BUILD_NAXES", "NO"

Thanks for the updates. I'll try them out.

After re-boostrapping in the same dir, the update fails with:

vader ~/src/orogen $ autoproj update

It seems this is happening in the hidden .remotes directory. The only
thing I changed was importing my orogen branch & remote branches in
the orogen directory.
