and so on, all about "portable-file-dialogs.h" and eigen3 Working on ubuntu 16.04. Thanks for sharing your work! Looking forward to your reply!

I am also woking on ubuntu 16.04 with ROS Kinetic, I also have the same problem! Wish you can help fix the problem, Thanks!

Hi guys, I confirmed that the package can be built on Kinetic using LLVM toolchain (clang + lld). Try to pull the latest devel branch and:

sudo apt install clang-6.0 lld-6.0
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ld ld /usr/bin/ld.lld-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-6.0 50
cd ~/catkin_ws && rm -rf build devel    # be aware of that this command removes build and devel directories
CC=clang CXX=clang++ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

If you want to revert ld to the default one (ld.bfd) after building the package, do:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ld ld /usr/bin/ld.bfd 10
sudo update-alternatives --config ld
# select ld.bfd

I try to update the code so that it works with gcc and ld on kinetic. But, it's low priority and no ETA so far.

[rrkmiao]

Thanks! I tried, but it still didn't work.

[koide3]

@rrkmiao , Could you try to remove deval and build directories in catkin_ws before doing catkin_make?

[WbHappy]

@koide3 I can confirm that this works, both master and devel branch, when deleting build and devel directories.

So, using exactly those instructions as specified by @koide3, works perfectly :

sudo apt install clang-6.0 lld-6.0
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/ld ld /usr/bin/ld.lld-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-6.0 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-6.0 50
cd ~/catkin_ws && rm -rf build devel    # be aware of that this command removes build and devel directories
CC=clang CXX=clang++ catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Thanks again =).

I dont understand why cd ~/catkin_ws && rm -rf build devel can fix this problem. Although I did pass the build after adding this instruction

[koide3]

@QiukuZ catkin determines the compiler to be used when you run catkin_make first time. To change the compiler you have to remove build directory to force catkin to clear and reconfigure the build parameters cache.
