[ros-users] problems building mrpt_common and mrpt_slam

[Jose Luis Blanco]

Hi Tim,

I found the reason for the (stupid) problem... some "Makefile"s which
shouldn't, were added to the SVN.
Try updating or checking out a fresh copy and "rosmake mrpt_*" should work now.

If you have built MRPT from sources, ignore the rosmake warning:

WARNING: Rosdep did not detect the following system dependencies as
installed: mrpt Consider using --rosdep-install option or....

because CMake should be able to localize MRPT_DIR automatically. It it
doesn't, in the worst case you can always install the latest
libmrpt-dev package from the PPA repository.

Cheers,
Jose Luis

Hi,

After checking out a copy of mrpt_common, mrpt_hwdrivers, and mrpt_slam
I tried to build mrpt_common and received errors. See below. I get
similar errors when I try to rosmake mrpt_slam. However, mrpt_hwdrivers
appears to build OK. Any ideas?.

Note: tried to "report bugs" link on
http://www.ros.org/wiki/mrpt_common# but link was bad - "Environment not
found" on an otherwise empty page.
