Thank you for your suggestions.
Follow http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=co..., make sure it works for that example sensor, then swap in the WirelessTransmitter code.
It is difficult to do that beacuse the WirelessTransmitter class inherits of Sensor class and this class includes another ones, so there are a lot of dependencies.
Or find the source code to someone else's standalone gazebo sensor repository, make sure you can build it unchanged first, then swap in WirelessTransmitter code. (If you find one of these, or end up making one yourself, post a link to it here)
I did not find any standalone gazebo sensor repository. I think it would be the best option.
Or comment out all the sensors you
aren't using from the gazebo repo
sensor CMakeLists.txt file, and maybe
entire other chunks of gazebo not
needed for building just the one
sensor, and then make your changes.
Or run the gazebo cmake verbosely in a
clean build dir and save all output,
then inspect the output for the build
commands that involve
WirelessTransmitter, and reverse
engineer your own standalone cmake
from that. This is painful.
I agree with you, it could be very painful.
I downloaded gazebo from osfr and built it from sources using a workspace (following this tutorial http://gazebosim.org/tutorials?tut=in...) and after several build errors that I had to fix manualy, I got it. The purpose of doing this is to have all the code available to do any change. The problem now is how to use ROS with the installed gazebo in the workspace. Moreover, I am working with Indigo and the gazebo in the workspace is the last version (Gazebo7), so I supponse I have to work with different gazebo_ros_pkg.
Has anyone worked like that?
Thanks in advance
