	--> open a command shell and enter "echo %path%" to check the variable

1.12 install WinRos_Python_Build_Tools http://files.yujinrobot.com/repositories/windows/python/2.7/winros-python-build-tools-0.2.2.win32.msi

2. install .NET Framework 4 Standalone Installer (full) http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/A/95A9616B-7A37-4AF6-BC36-D6EA96C8DAAE/dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe

    --> reboot PC
   

3. install Windows SDK 7.1 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=8279

    --> if any VC redistributables are installed, remove them before installing Windows SDK
    --> make sure you install headers, tools and compiler
    --> do NOT install the "Application Verifier", "Debugging Tools" and "Windows Performance Toolkit"
    --> "Help Library Manager" setup can be canceled if SDK documentation is not needed
   

4. install CMake http://files.yujinrobot.com/repositories/windows/programming/cmake-2.8.10.2-win32-x86.exe

    --> choose "Add CMake to the system PATH for all users" (option 2)
   

5. install Empy http://files.yujinrobot.com/repositories/windows/python/2.7/empy-3.1.win32.msi

6. install PyNose http://files.yujinrobot.com/repositories/windows/python/2.7/nose-1.1.2.win32.exe

7. install Rosdeps http://files.yujinrobot.com/win_ros/rosdeps/rosdeps-groovy-x86-vc10.zip

    --> "mkdir C:\opt"
    --> extract content of "rosdeps-groovy-x86-vc10.zip" into "C:\opt"
   

create a workspace, initialize it, add a (source) package and build it

1. create a ros groovy workspace

    --> "mkdir C:\work"
    --> "cd C:\work"
   

2. initialize that workspace (this downloads a lot of ros sources etc., so it can take a while)

    --> "winros_init_workspace --sdk-unstable ws"
   

3. add a source package (e.g. rosbridge_suite) http://wiki.ros.org/win_ros/groovy/Msvc%20Overlays#Adding_Sources [003]

    --> "cd c:\work\ws\src"
   

   3.1 configure a new package (e.g. rosbridge_suite from github repository)

    --> "wstool set rosbridge_suite --git https://github.com/ipa-fxm-db/rosbridge_suite.git"
    --> confirm the new package by entering "y"
   

   3.2 update the sources for the new package

    --> "wstool update rosbridge_suite"
   

   3.3 configure (ros-)environment for the workspace

    --> "cd C:\work\ws"
    --> "C:\work\ws\setup.bat"
   

4. prepare and run the build process

   4.1 initialize the build process

    --> "winros_init_build"
   

   4.2 build everything

    --> "winros_make" (this takes a long time..)
    --> if cmake cannot be found, maybe the shell was not reloaded since installation of cmake.
    	- reopen the terminal,
    	- change to "C:\work\ws",
    	- run "setup.bat",
    	- "winros_make" should now start building ros groovy and the added source package.
   

OPTIONAL: install into c:\opt

1. install into "ros"

   --> "cd c:\work\ws\build"
   --> "nmake install"
   

run roscore, rosbridge_tcp and test it

1. rosbridge_suite needs PIL installed (Python Imaging Library) http://effbot.org/downloads/PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7.exe

    --> install PIL 
   

2. run roscore

    --> open a new terminal
    --> "cd c:\work\ws" (or ..\work\ws\devel ??)
    --> "setup.bat"
    --> "roscore"
   

3. run rosbridge_tcp

    --> open a new terminal
    --> "cd c:\work\ws" (or ..\work\ws\devel ??)
    --> "setup.bat"
    --> python "c:\work\ws\src\rosbridge_suite\rosbridge_server\scripts\rosbridge_tcp.py" (add parameters if needed)
   

4. run test_fragmented_service_server

    --> open a new terminal
    --> "cd c:\work\ws" (or ..\work\ws\devel ??)
    --> "setup.bat"
    --> python "c:\work\ws\src\rosbridge_suite\rosbridge_library\test\experimental\fragmentation+srv+tcp\test_non-ros_service_server_fragmented.py"
   

5. run test_fragmented_service_client

    --> open a new terminal
    --> "cd c:\work\ws" (or ..\work\ws\devel ??)
    --> "setup.bat"
    --> python "c:\work\ws\src\rosbridge_suite\rosbridge_library\test\experimental\fragmentation+srv+tcp\test_non-ros_service_client_fragmented.py"

ISSUES:

• what about roslaunch??

  roslaunch is working.

    cd C:\work\ws\devel
    setup.bat
    roslaunch rosbridge_server rosbridge_tcp.launch
