## macOS (Apple Silicon)

The workspace runs natively through RoboStack. Docker and XQuartz are not required.
Intel macOS is not currently verified.
The workspace runs natively through RoboStack. Docker and XQuartz are not
required. Intel macOS is not verified.

### Prerequisites
### First-time setup

Install the Xcode command-line tools, Git, and Miniforge:
1. Install the prerequisites:

```bash
xcode-select --install
brew install git
brew install --cask miniforge
```

If Homebrew is missing, install it from [brew.sh](https://brew.sh/) first.
If Xcode reports that its tools are already installed, continue.

2. Close Terminal, open a new Terminal window, and verify Miniforge:

```bash
mamba --version
```

3. Clone the repository:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/waybionic
cd ~/waybionic
git clone https://github.com/Waybionic/waybionic_ground_station.git
cd waybionic_ground_station
```

For an existing clone, skip the clone commands and change to that
repository's root directory.

4. Create the RoboStack environment and build the workspace:

```bash
./scripts/macos.sh setup
```

Wait for `Setup complete` before continuing.

### Launch

From the repository root, run:

```bash
./scripts/macos.sh launch
```

Keep this Terminal window open. Within a few seconds:

- The RViz splash screen is replaced by the main window.
- `DiagnosticsPanel` displays **WayBionic Engineering Monitor** and
**Current State: NORMAL**.
- Joint State Publisher displays the `base_to_arm` slider.

To stop the application, return to the launch Terminal and press
<kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>.

Always use `scripts/macos.sh`. It selects the macOS SDK and Cyclone DDS and
loads the workspace correctly. Do not source `install/setup.bash` from zsh or
replace the helper with direct `colcon` or `ros2 launch` commands.

### Verify ROS nodes

While the application is running, open a second Terminal, change to the
repository root, and run:

```bash
RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp ./scripts/macos.sh run ros2 node list
```

The output must include:

```text
/joint_state_publisher
/robot_state_publisher
/rviz2
```

### Update or rebuild

After pulling repository changes:

```bash
git pull
./scripts/macos.sh setup
```

To rebuild without updating the environment:

```bash
./scripts/macos.sh build
```

### Troubleshooting

Run these commands from the repository root. After applying a fix, use the
single command in the **Launch** section.

#### `mamba` is not found

Close and reopen Terminal. If `mamba --version` still fails, reinstall
Miniforge and reopen Terminal again:

```bash
xcode-select --install
brew install git
brew install --cask miniforge
```

Homebrew manpage brew install cask already installed behavior brew reinstall cask

💡 Result:

When you attempt to install a Cask that is already installed using brew install --cask <cask_name>, Homebrew will issue a warning informing you that the Cask is already installed and will not perform the installation [1][2]. It does not automatically reinstall or upgrade the Cask in this scenario [3][1]. If you intend to reinstall a Cask, you should use the brew reinstall --cask <cask_name> command [1][2]. This command uninstalls the current version and then reinstalls the Cask using the same options that were used during its original installation [4][5]. Summary of Behaviors: - brew install --cask <cask_name>: Issues a warning if the Cask is already installed and performs no action [1][2]. - brew reinstall --cask <cask_name>: Explicitly uninstalls the existing Cask and performs a fresh installation [4][5]. Note: If you are trying to ensure a Cask is up to date, the standard practice is to use brew upgrade --cask <cask_name> (or simply brew upgrade if you wish to upgrade all packages) [3][6][7]. The upgrade command will skip Casks that are already at the latest version [7].

Use brew reinstall for Miniforge recovery.

If mamba --version still fails, run brew reinstall --cask miniforge. brew install --cask miniforge does not reinstall an existing cask. Then reopen Terminal.

Reopen the terminal if `mamba` or `conda` is not immediately available.
#### Setup cannot solve the environment or reports missing ROS tools

Use this for `Could not solve for environment specs`, `colcon: not found`,
`xacro: not found`, or a missing Joint State Publisher.

First confirm that `waybionic_robostack` appears in:

### Setup and launch
```bash
mamba env list
```

For a new clone, run:
If it exists, repair and rebuild it:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Waybionic/waybionic_ground_station.git && cd waybionic_ground_station && ./scripts/macos.sh setup
mamba install --yes --name waybionic_robostack --freeze-installed \
--channel conda-forge --channel robostack-jazzy \
colcon-common-extensions ros-jazzy-xacro \
ros-jazzy-joint-state-publisher-gui
./scripts/macos.sh build
```

For an existing clone, run `./scripts/macos.sh setup` from the repository root.
The command creates or updates the `waybionic_robostack` environment and builds
the workspace.
If the environment does not exist, rerun the first-time setup command instead.

#### CMake reports a missing OpenGL framework header

Launch RViz and Joint State Publisher GUI:
If the error names
`/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Headers`, update and rebuild:

```bash
./scripts/macos.sh launch
git pull
./scripts/macos.sh build
```

Other useful commands:
#### RViz remains on `Initializing`

Stop the application with <kbd>Control</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>, remove any Fast DDS
override, and use the launch command above:

```bash
./scripts/macos.sh build # rebuild the workspace
./scripts/macos.sh run ros2 topic list # run any overlaid ROS command
unset RMW_IMPLEMENTATION
```

After pulling repository changes, update and rebuild with:
#### `DiagnosticsPanel` reports `_PyExc_RuntimeError`

Stop the application, clean the plugin's CMake cache, and rebuild it:

```bash
git pull && ./scripts/macos.sh setup
./scripts/macos.sh run colcon build \
--packages-select waybionic_rviz_plugins \
--cmake-clean-cache --symlink-install
```

If RViz reports a missing workspace package, rerun `./scripts/macos.sh build`.
Do not source `install/setup.bash` directly from zsh; the helper handles the
workspace overlay through Bash.
The panel should display **WayBionic Engineering Monitor** after the next
launch.

CMake SDKROOT environment variable CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT documentation macOS

💡 Result:

In CMake, the SDKROOT environment variable is used to initialize the CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT variable when it is not explicitly set by the user or build configuration [1][2]. Key technical details regarding their relationship: 1. Initialization: When configuring a project, if CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT has not been set, CMake checks the environment for the SDKROOT variable [1][3]. If SDKROOT is set, its value is used to initialize CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT [1][2]. 2. Purpose: CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT specifies the location or name of the Apple platform SDK (e.g., macOS, iOS, tvOS, visionOS, or watchOS) used for building [1][2]. It instructs the compiler to use the -isysroot flag [1][4]. 3. Recommended Usage: While setting SDKROOT in the environment is a valid way to influence the build, CMake documentation notes that CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is intended to be set locally by the user creating a build tree and should typically be stored as a CACHE entry [1][2]. Users can explicitly set the SDK by configuring their project with -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT= [1][2]. 4. Automatic Behavior: If both CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT and SDKROOT are unset, the behavior depends on the compiler. Some Clang compilers do not have a default SDK selection; in such cases, if CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is empty, CMake will automatically pass -isysroot using the path returned by xcrun --show-sdk-path [1][2]. Despite the OSX in the variable names, these settings apply to all Apple platforms including macOS, iOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS [1][2]. These variables are ignored on non-Apple platforms [1][2].

conda-build CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT CMake macOS compiler tools documentation

💡 Result:

When building packages on macOS with conda-build, CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT is an environment variable set by conda-build that points to the directory containing the macOS SDK [1][2]. This variable is essential for ensuring that compiler tools target the correct SDK version during the build process [1][3]. For CMake builds, you must explicitly pass this path because CMake does not automatically detect and use the sysroot defined by the compiler environment [1][4]. You should use the following CMake option in your build configuration: -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=${CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT} In addition to CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT, conda-build also sets MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. While many build tools (like CMake and setuptools) pick up MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET automatically, CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT requires the explicit assignment shown above [1][5]. To configure the SDK path, you can define CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT in your conda_build_config.yaml file [1][3]: CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT: - /path/to/your/MacOSX.sdk # [osx] Official conda-build documentation recommends translating these environment variables into compiler arguments to ensure consistency [1][4]. For example, when invoking Clang directly, it is standard practice to use: clang.. -isysroot ${CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT} -mmacosx-version-min=${MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET}..

site:cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT.html "SDKROOT" "default SDK"

💡 Result:

The SDKROOT environment variable is used in Apple development and build systems (such as CMake) to specify the location or name of the software development kit (SDK) to be used for compiling code [1]. There is no universal default value for SDKROOT; its behavior depends on how the build system or compiler processes it [1]. In many contexts, if SDKROOT is not set explicitly, it is considered empty, and the compiler or build tool is expected to either select a default SDK on its own or provide a mechanism to determine the appropriate path [1]. For example, when using CMake, if CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is not explicitly defined, it initializes from the SDKROOT environment variable [1]. If SDKROOT is also not set, the value remains empty, and the compiler will typically attempt to select a default macOS SDK automatically [1]. In scenarios where a compiler has no default selection, CMake may automatically use the path provided by the xcrun --show-sdk-path command [1]. To explicitly set or view the SDK path in your environment, you can use the xcrun tool: export SDKROOT="$(xcrun --sdk macosx --show-sdk-path)" You can also specify a particular SDK by replacing macosx with another platform name, such as iphoneos, watchos, or tvos [1].

site:github.com/conda/conda-build compiler-tools.rst "CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT" "CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT"

💡 Result:

In the context of conda-build, CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT and CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT are related variables used to ensure that software compiled on macOS targets the correct software development kit (SDK) [1][2]. CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT is an environment variable managed and set by conda-build [1][2]. It points to the directory containing the macOS SDK that should be used for compilation [1][2]. Conda-build typically populates this variable based on configurations defined in your conda_build_config.yaml file [1]. CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT is a CMake-specific variable that tells the CMake build system which SDK to use when generating build files [1][2]. Because CMake does not automatically detect the value set in CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT, you must explicitly pass it to CMake during the configuration phase of your build script (build.sh) [1][2]. The recommended approach to bridge these two is to pass the conda-build variable into the CMake configuration command [1][2]: -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=${CONDA_BUILD_SYSROOT} Using this pattern ensures that CMake uses the same SDK path that conda-build has prepared for your environment, which is critical for maintaining consistency and avoiding issues with SDK version mismatch or linking against incorrect system libraries [1]. Documentation regarding these tools and variables is maintained in the conda-build source repository, specifically within resources/compiler-tools.rst [1].

ROS 2 Jazzy minimum required CMake version official documentation

💡 Result:

According to the official ROS 2 repository standards, the minimum required CMake version for ROS 2 Jazzy is 3.20 [1]. While some individual packages may maintain their own historical minimums, the established standard for ROS 2 Jazzy, as documented in the ROS Enhancement Proposals (REP) and reflected in core repository updates, is version 3.20 [1]. This requirement ensures compatibility with modern build standards and helps avoid deprecation warnings associated with older versions of CMake [1].

RoboStack Jazzy CMake package version conda-forge cmake dependency

💡 Result:

In the RoboStack Jazzy distribution, the cmake utility is typically provided by the conda-forge channel rather than being a locked version specifically bundled within the robostack-jazzy channel itself [1]. RoboStack environments are designed to integrate ROS 2 packages with standard conda-forge packages, meaning cmake is installed as a general dependency of the environment [1][2]. Key points regarding CMake in RoboStack Jazzy: 1. Installation and Management: Users are encouraged to include cmake as a dependency in their environment configuration (e.g., via pixi or conda/mamba), which pulls the latest compatible version from the conda-forge channel [3][1]. 2. Compatibility: While conda-forge provides the cmake binary, RoboStack’s ROS 2 Jazzy packages (such as ros-jazzy-ament-cmake) rely on this external cmake for the build process [4][1]. 3. Version Requirements: It is generally recommended to use modern CMake versions; RoboStack documentation specifically notes that for certain compatibility reasons (e.g., CMP0094), projects may need to set cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15) or higher in their CMakeLists.txt [5]. 4. Build Tools: When setting up a build environment, standard practice is to include cmake, make, and ninja alongside your ROS packages [1]. You can verify the specific version of cmake currently available in your environment by running cmake --version or by querying the conda-forge channel using mamba repoquery search cmake --channel conda-forge [3].

CMake target_link_options introduced in CMake 3.13 official documentation

💡 Result:

The target_link_options command was introduced in CMake 3.13 [1][2]. This command is used to add options to the link step for executable, shared library, or module library targets [3][4]. When used, it populates the LINK_OPTIONS target property (for PRIVATE and PUBLIC items) and the INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS target property (for PUBLIC and INTERFACE items) [3][5][4]. Key details about the command include: - Scope: The INTERFACE, PUBLIC, and PRIVATE keywords are required to specify the scope of the options [3][4]. - Limitations: It cannot be used for static library targets, as they do not use a linker; for those, the STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS target property should be used instead [3][4]. - Generator Expressions: The command supports the use of generator expressions [3][4]. - Extensions: In CMake 3.18 and later, the command gained additional support for host and device-specific link options when dealing with device linking (e.g., CUDA) via the $&lt;DEVICE_LINK:...&gt; and $&lt;HOST_LINK:...> generator expressions [6][4]. Official documentation for target_link_options can be found in the current CMake manual [3].

💡 Result:

REP 2000 is the ROS Enhancement Proposal that defines the target platforms and release-specific dependency requirements for ROS 2 distributions [1]. Regarding the ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco release, the official REP 2000 documentation lists the minimum/targeted CMake version as 3.22.1 for the primary Ubuntu platform [1]. While your query mentioned CMake 3.20, REP 2000 explicitly specifies 3.22.1 for the Jazzy release [1]. {confidence: 100%}

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/ros2/ros2 Jazzy CMake 3.20 minimum

💡 Result:

ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco is primarily developed for and tested on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which includes CMake 3.28. While ROS 2 does not strictly enforce a universal "minimum" CMake version across all possible build environments, it is developed with the expectation of supporting the versions available on its target platforms [1][2]. For Jazzy, the build system assumes a relatively modern CMake environment. In the context of ROS 2 development, CMake 3.20 is often cited as a threshold for modern features, and many ROS 2 packages maintain compatibility with versions at or above this level to leverage newer CMake functionality [3]. Although you may encounter cmake_minimum_required warnings when building packages in environments with older CMake versions, ROS 2 Jazzy is designed to work within the standard tooling provided by Ubuntu 24.04 and RHEL 9 [1][4][2]. If you are building from source, it is recommended to use the version of CMake provided by your distribution's package manager to ensure compatibility with the build-time dependencies [5][2].
