Make Error about kinova-ros

[mlauret]

Hello,

I'm not from Kinova but I think I can help :)

You probably write about the line #include <KinovaTypes.h> , which tell the compiler to look in the default include path (/usr/include and <catkin_ws>/kinova_driver/include according to the CMakelists.txt)

A clean method would be to install the kinova SDK, which install the file KinovaTypes.h in /usr/include/KinovaTypes.h and that would solve this error.

A cleaner method would be to change #include <KinovaTypes.h> to #include <kinova/KinovaTypes.h> or #include "kinova/KinovaTypes.h" since this is where the file is located in the ROS Stack (<catkin_ws>/kinova_driver/include/kinova/KinovaTypes.h) and how the other include are added (look at kinova_api.h : #include "kinova/Kinova.API.UsbCommandLayerUbuntu.h" )

That pretty weird, but replacing #include <KinovaTypes.h> to #include "KinovaTypes.h" didn't solve the problem for me.

Edit : Didn't see it but The pull request #64 solve this problem :)

Thanks @mlauret , that is a very clear explanation.

#include "KinovaTypes.h" is indeed looking for a path which exists when kinova SDK is installed. This should not be necessary, but highly recommended due to SDK's power on controlling/observing robot outside of ROS.

You can delete this line, because #include <kinova/KinovaTypes.h> is already there in kinova_comm.h

I would correct this soon.

@mlauret, @LongfeiProjects Thanks for the replies makes it clear. @mlauret I had to copy the KinovaTypes.h header file into the /kinova_driver/src to make it work :), forgot to mention that I guess.
