How to get "grid_map_costmap_2d" in ROS Kinetic?

[maity-kgz]

Hi, I am using grid_map in ROS Kinetic. I have installed it from Deb repository. But the grid_map_costmap_2d package doesn't come installed with the grid_map.
Building grid_map from the source in the Kinetic env throws a lot of compiling errors. Due to the compatibility issues with TF and etc. Also, there is no Kinetic branch in the repo.
Is there any chance/way to get grid_map_costmap_2d in the ROS Kinetic?
Many thanx.

I was able to use "grid_map_costmap_2d" under the Kinetic env after the following steps.

1. Install core grid_map packages from the Deb repo.
2. Copy to the local catkin_ws only the "grid_map_costmap_2d" folder.
3. Build the "grid_map_costmap_2d" with the "catkin_make" cmd. Builds without errors.
4. source local catkin_ws devel space
5. include "grid_map_costmap_2d" in the find_package (CMakeLists.txt).

Thank you for the instructions. We currently don't maintain kinetic.

@maity-kgz Instead of installing from source, you can install it with pre-built binary by

sudo apt install ros-kinetic-costmap-2d

Have you tried it?

@congphase sorry for pointing it. But the ros-kinetic-costmap-2d is completly another package and doest not related to the grid_map_costmap_2d. You have to compile it from the source code to use in under ROS Kinetic.
