[ros-users] ROS Electric Support for OS X Lion

[Ken Conley]

Thanks for putting this together.

On your setup, are the tests working?  I'm having trouble getting
rosbuild to work with the gtest provided by brew.  I've seen this same
error on two different OS X machines (Lion, Snow Leopard), though I
haven't reset things to go through your instructions step by step:

(output snippet, e.g. 'roscd test_roslib; make test')

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/lib/libgtest.la
-D_THREAD_SAFE', needed by `../test_package'.
make[4]: Target `CMakeFiles/test_package.dir/build' not remade because
of errors.
make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/test_package.dir/all] Error 2
[  0%] Built target clean-test-results
