Unable to install on Windows 10

[stevkr]

Hello everyone,

I would like to get a D435 running via ROS on a Windows 10 machine.
I have followed the instructions:
There are no problems with the installation of ROS noetic.
However, I have problems following Step 2: Install Intel RealSense ROS from Sources:
The commands

mkdir c:\catkin_ws\src
cd c:\catkin_ws\src

git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros.git
cd realsense-ros/

are working fine.
The first problem occurs in this line:
git checkout git tag | sort -V | grep -P "^2.\d+.\d+" | tail -1
because the grep command is not recognised. I guess this is just a version indicator or something and not important for my runnability.
The much bigger problem arises when I run
catkin_make -DCATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING=False -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
in. A larger list of errors appears there:

Can anyone help me?

Many greetings

Hi @stevkr The problems that you experienced have been encountered by others in the past, such as the case at #1797

You can get around the git checkout issue on Windows by specifying the exact version number instead of searching for it with a tag, as described in the above case at #1797 (comment)

Even after getting past this stage though, the -DCATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING=False -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release can act as a block to progressing further.

If setting DCATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING to True instead of False does not work for you, my understanding is that the rosdep command below can be used instead. Navigate to the catkin workspace folder with cd ~/catkin_ws/src/ and then run the rosdep command from that folder:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

An alternative version of this instruction that has been used by a couple of RealSense users with ROS Melodic is:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro=melodic -y

[stevkr]

Thanks for your answer @MartyG-RealSense

Unfortunately, the commands do not work as desired.
After replacing
catkin_make -DCATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING=False -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
with
catkin_make -DCATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING=True -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release I get the message:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
Invoking "ninja -j6 -l6" failed

Moreover I cannot use the rosdep install command in the folder "src":

c:\catkin_ws\src>rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
given path 'src' does not exist

but one level above:

c:\catkin_ws>rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y
#All required rosdeps installed successfully

But even after entering the command, the next command in the instructions (catkin_make install) gives still error messages, do you have an idea what it could be?

[MartyG-RealSense]

What method did you use to install the RealSense SDK, please - with the automated installer file Intel.RealSense.SDK-WIN10 or with vcpkg. If you installed with vcpkg then I would recommend using the automated installer file instead if possible.

Hi, I removed all programs again (ROS & Intel SDK) hoping to get it error free.
I have now installed ROS Melodic. When I install Intel SDK with the automated installer file, after the command catkin_make clean appears the following error message :

So probably the automatic installer based SDK is not found.
Only after I install the SDK via vcpkg the command "catkin_make clean" works but then I get all the error messages in the following commands...

Edit:

c:\catkin_ws>vcpkg list
realsense2:x64-windows                             2.34.0           Intel® RealSense™ SDK 2.0 is a cross-platform...

The vcpkg seems to install Version (2.34.0) isn't this not an older version?

[MartyG-RealSense]

2.34.0 is a very old version dating from March 2020, yes. It is also a version that I do not recommend using because it had an issue with continuously generating timing errors for some RealSense users.

I would also recommend not using the vcpkg method to install librealsense if possible due to its complexity compared to the automated installer file and because Microsoft rather than Intel are responsible for vcpkg's upkeep.

Can you confirm please that you are installing the RealSense SDK first and the RealSense ROS wrapper secondly after the SDK installation has completed? This is the correct order of installation.

[stevkr]

Yes I can confirm, first I installed RealSense SDK and then I try RealSense ROS wrapper.
After entering catkin_make clean command the following happens:

So i guess, the installation of the SDK via .exe is not recognized

[MartyG-RealSense]

I researched the issue further but are aware that in past cases involving this problem, if the advice provided above does not solve the problem with installing the ROS wrapper on Windows then a solution is usually not achieved.

The last resort would be to check the advice given in #280 which provides suggestions such as deleting the build folder in catkin_ws and then re-running catkn make. I do apologize.

[stevkr]

Thanks again for your effort.
Unfortunately, this tip did not work either...
Strangely, installing Realsense via ROS does not work on my work computer, my laptop, or my home computer. (All are running Windows 10)
So I would be surprised if it worked for anyone on Windows 10.

[MartyG-RealSense]

The vast majority of RealSense ROS setups are on Linux operating systems.

[MartyG-RealSense]

Hi @stevkr Do you require further assistance with this case, please? Thanks!

[stevkr]

@MartyG-RealSense I get around the problem by working with Realsense via MATLAB.
Therefore I do not need any further support for Windows.
Thanks for your effort.

[MartyG-RealSense]

I'm pleased to hear that you found a solution, @stevkr - thanks very much for the update!

[wolegequwangge]

version 2.2.22 successful

[MartyG-RealSense]

Thanks very much @wolegequwangge for sharing your experience with the RealSense ROS community of what works for you!
