rosmon in ROS Indigo about rosmon HOT 3 CLOSED

Good news: I just merged #11 which should fix your problems on Indigo.

from rosmon.

Thanks for the interest in rosmon!

I made the choice to drop Indigo support some time ago, since Kinetic is the current LTS release. You may have luck compiling a slightly older version, maybe revision 9dab795 will work out of the box.

Regarding your specific issues:

1. ncurses: Under Ubuntu, installing libncurses5-dev should be enough. There is a small issue that requires deletion of the CMake cache (just delete the build directory) and building again to detect the new ncurses installation.
   Otherwise, you can specify custom ncurses paths on the command line:
   cmake -DCURSES_LIBRARY=/opt/lib/libncurses.so -DCURSES_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/include"
   should work with your settings.

2. QComboBox: This is weird. Can you tell me your Qt version? In Qt 5.6, 5.9 and 5.10 this method is present. Maybe rosmon is linking against Qt4? Then, I definitely recommend trying an older version.

3. ros::SteadyTimer was introduced with ROS Kinetic, but you can replace it with ros::WallTimer without problems (the CPU load measurement will be inaccurate while changing the date/time on the computer).

Again, older versions should compile just fine under Indigo.

1. ncurses: Yes, you are right, deleting build directory after installing libncurses5-dev solved the problem!
2. QComboBox: After deleting the build directory it also solved my problem. Even though I had Qt already on my computer and I was able to build other Qt binaries, I had to install some more libraries to build rosmon. Maybe that was the problem...
3. Thanks for adding support for Indigo! It worked nicely 👍
