Running Windows examples

[dvargasfr]

Hi @firesurfer ,

I correctly installed rclcs (and rclcs_testing_ws at ros2_ws/src) on Windows 10, but I don´t fully understand how to run these examples. Specifically the point On Windows you can't use the MONO_PATH variable. Therefore you have to set the WindowsAssemblyLoader as entry point.

Please, could you indicate some more detailled steps for this case??

Thanks!

Unfortunatly I didn't find the time to update the rclcs for the current ros version. Even if you get it to compile on windows it won't work because the rcl interface has changed (they even changed the build system. So it would be huge amount of work to get it working again - But give it a try if you want to ;) )

In case you still need the answer to your question:
Have look at: https://github.com/firesurfer/rclcs_testing_ws/blob/master/src/test_cs/src/Examples/WindowsAssemblyLoader.cs

What is does: It looks for the rclcs and the standard ros message assemblies in a custom path. The idea is to replace this line:

rclcs_testing_ws/src/test_cs/src/Examples/WindowsAssemblyLoader.cs

Line 24 in 25a0b7a

test_cs.BasicNodeExampleWithUsing.Main(args);

with your own main method.
