Hi folks,
how can I get `catkin` to build and deploy the results of protobuf's `.proto` files? What's the SOTA in this regard? I've tried
find_package(Protobuf REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Protobuf_INCLUDE_DIRS})
protobuf_generate_cpp(PROTO_SRCS PROTO_HDRS protobuf/imu_data.proto)
protobuf_generate_python(PROTO_PY protobuf/imu_data.proto)
But that does nothing. It finds Protobuf but the bottom two commands basically do nothing. Not even throw an error.
Is this the recommended way?
Thank you!
Cheers,
Hendrik
PS: I'm using `python-catkin-tools`, say, `catkin build` instead of `catkin_make`. In case that's some vital information...
# Update 1:
I managed to make it build by adding the line
add_custom_target(imu_sys_proto ALL DEPENDS ${PROTO_PY})
to the `CMakeLists.txt`. This makes `catkin` (or rather `cmake`) **build** the Python bindings for my `.proto` file. But it does not **install** it.
## Question extension 1
So I'll extend my question to: what do I need to add to the `CMakeLists.txt` in order for `catkin` to copy the resulting `...pb2.py`file(s) to the correct folder (whichever that might be)?
