This post will cover the steps I made to build ROS hydro successfully from source on my Ubuntu 13.10 amd64 with German localization settings.<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Add repositories<\/p>\n

http:\/\/wiki.ros.org\/hydro\/Installation\/Ubuntu<\/a><\/p>\n

sudo<\/span> sh<\/span> -c<\/span>
\n'echo "deb http:\/\/packages.ros.org\/ros\/ubuntu raring main" >
\n\/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/ros-latest.list'<\/span>
\n
\nwget<\/span> http:\/\/<\/span>packages.ros.org\/<\/span>ros.key -O<\/span> - |<\/span> sudo<\/span> apt-key add<\/span> -
\n
\nsudo<\/span> apt-get update<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

2.<\/strong> The basic building procedure is covered in the article below, but I will list all commands\/steps I have used from this tutorial as well, together with links to resources which helped me solving problems and how I solved them. If you want to have an explanation of the steps, please refer to the provided links.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/wiki.ros.org\/hydro\/Installation\/Source<\/a><\/p>\n

sudo<\/span> apt-get install<\/span> python-rosdep python-rosinstall-generator
\npython-wstool python-rosinstall build-essential
\n
\nsudo<\/span> rosdep init
\nrosdep update
\n
\nmkdir<\/span> ~\/<\/span>ros_catkin_ws
\ncd<\/span> ~\/<\/span>ros_catkin_ws
\n
\nrosinstall_generator desktop --rosdistro<\/span> hydro --deps<\/span> --wet-only<\/span>
\n--tar<\/span> ><\/span> hydro-desktop-wet.rosinstall
\n
\nwstool init -j8<\/span> src hydro-desktop-wet.rosinstall
\n
\nrosdep install<\/span> --from-paths<\/span> src --ignore-src<\/span> --rosdistro<\/span> hydro -y<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

3.<\/strong> In order to prevent language problems on a non English system, I used following hint.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/answers.ros.org\/question\/124081\/unicodeencodeerror-while-installing-ros-on-debian\/<\/a><\/p>\n

export<\/span> LANG<\/span>=en_US.UTF-8<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n

4.<\/strong> Resolving another build error:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/answers.ros.org\/question\/114386\/ros-hydro-from-source-on-ubuntu-1310-make-error-in-qt_gui_cpp\/<\/a><\/p>\n

sudo<\/span> apt-get purge<\/span> libshiboken-dev shiboken<\/div><\/div>\n

5.<\/strong> Finish the build process and install ROS to a custom location.<\/p>\n

sudo<\/span> src\/<\/span>catkin\/<\/span>bin\/<\/span>catkin_make_isolated --install<\/span>
\n
\n--force-cmake<\/span>
\n--install-space<\/span> \/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>ros\/<\/span>hydro_custom<\/div><\/div>\n

6.<\/strong> This command needs to be run every time before you are using ROS. For simplification just add it to your .bashrc<\/p>\n

source<\/span> \/<\/span>opt\/<\/span>ros\/<\/span>hydro_custom\/<\/span>setup.bash<\/div><\/div>\n

7.<\/strong> Check if the installation was successful by running:<\/p>\n

roscore<\/div><\/div>\n
