Developing ros-cross-compile

This document contains instructions, guidelines, and requirements for developing this tool.

Writing Code

For easiest development, use virtualenv to manage the dependency environment.

# create a virtualenv
virtualenv venv
# use it
source venv/bin/activate
# install this package in the virtualenv to get dependencies
pip install -e .
# now you can run your work
ros_cross_compile

Tests

These are testing entrypoints:

  • Unit tests via tox
    • run tox -e py
  • End-to-end shell script
    • run ./test/run_e2e_test.sh

Host Platforms

The target host platforms for this tool are the Tier 1 platforms specified by non-EOL ROS 2 LTS distributions, on x86_64. Cross-compiling on ARM host platforms is out of scope.

See REP 2000 for this list, which is now:

  • Dashing Diademata
    • Ubuntu Bionic 18.04
      • support installation via pip and apt
    • MacOS Sierra (10.12)
      • support installation via pip
    • Windows 10 (VS2019)
      • support installation via pip

Though not all of these targets may be fully supported yet, design decisions may not be made that rule out support for those platforms in the future.
