catkin build error

[Levi568]

I successfully build the dependencies including kindr_ros and grid_map and make install the kindr repo.

The kindrConfig.cmake is installed : -- Installing: /usr/local/share/kindr/cmake/kindrConfig.cmake

But when I catkin build the elevation_mapping repo, it shows the following error :

Errors << elevation_mapping:cmake /home/wei/catkin_ws/logs/elevation_mapping/build.cmake.005.log CMake Error at /opt/ros/melodic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package): Could not find a package configuration file provided by "kindr" with any of the following names:

kindrConfig.cmake
kindr-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "kindr" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "kindr_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "kindr" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

Any comments would be helpful, thanks!

Hi @Levi568, it can't find the kindr package in the installed path (/usr/local/share/kindr/cmake/). This can have several reasons. In which workspace are you building kindr_ros?

[Levi568]

@maximilianwulf I successfully built the kindr_ros package in catkin workspace.

It looks like that the paths are not set correctly. Can you copy-paste the output of catkin config?

Is the kindr_ros package located inside /home/wei/catkin_ws/src?

[Levi568]

Yes, and I built it successfully.

Hi! I meet the same problem,Did you solve it?Can you tall me how to solve it?

@Levi568 @maximilianwulf

[Levi568]

@Old-Man-Reality Unfortunately, I didn't end up solving this issue.

[Old-Man-Reality]

I solve it just now,you can take the kind_ros package to the elevation_mapping_ws/src,then elevation_mapping package and the kindr_ros package int the same src,finally you use catkin_make.the problem is solved.

Changing the CMakeList to find kindr using find_package(kindr REQUIRED) stabilized catkin build for me since it's an external, non-ros, library.

[maximilianwulf]

@NmBoyd what is the general workflow when git cloning this repo?

I assume that as an open-source use you have to install the package dependencies with http://wiki.ros.org/rosdep?

Edit: Ah because it is a non-ros library. I see :thinking:

2nd Edit: Does rosdep install --from-paths catkin_ws/src/elevation_mapping work for you? Or rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

I encountered this problem when I was using catkin build to compile code. However catkin_make works fine. sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/kindr /opt/ros/<ros_version>/share/kindr That works for me.

[naveenkumar2208]

Hi, The solution is create a new workspace. Add kinder_ros package and https://github.com/ANYbotics/message_logger.git package and then build it using catkin_make. It worked for me.

This solve the issue, since I am also using catkin build
