Overview
This is an extension of Slime (a "contrib") that helps you to deal with ASDF systems in ROS packages. It also adds a REPL shortcut ros-load-system to the slime REPL.
Installation
For a Debian package
$ sudo apt-get install ros-DISTRO-slime-ros
Then call the initialization script that generates .sbclrc in your home directory for configuring your SBCL.
$ rosrun slime_ros slime_ros_init
And then add the following to your Emacs configuration file:
(require 'slime-config "/opt/ros/DISTRO/share/slime_ros/slime-config.el")
From source
The most up-to-date version of slime_ros code can be found here. Installation instructions are in the README file. What you'll need to do will be something like the following:
$ cd YOUR_CATKIN_WS/src $ wstool set ros_emacs_utils --git https://github.com/code-iai/ros_emacs_utils.git $ wstool update ros_emacs_utils $ cd .. $ catkin_make $ catkin_make install $ emacs -nw ~/.emacs.d/init.el # edit your emacs configuration file
How to use
If you've set up your emacs init file correctly you should be able to start the REPL by typing M-x slime. Now, by pressing , (coma) in an empty REPL prompt, you can select the shortcut ros-load-system. Press enter and select a ROS package and an ASDF system inside this ROS package. Slime will set the variable ros-load:*current-ros-package* and perform a load operation on the selected system.
The package contains one customization variable, slime-ros-completion-function. It allows the user to select ido mode completion or similar completion mechanisms. To change its value, use M-x customize-group slime-ros.
