catkin_make failed!

Summary

I was building UR kit following the instructions in README, however, I have encountered a problem when performing catkin_make. The complete console message is too long, so I just put the tail of it here:

Versions

• ROS Driver version: ROS1 Noetic
• OS version: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Impact

Cannot build the repository, so I can not use UR kits to do Robot related research.

Project status at point of discovered

In first time trying setup the needed environment.

Steps to Reproduce

I strictly follow the steps in README, but I just failed to build

[Anthony-EEE]

@LexTran I also got the error. DId you find any solution?

[fmauch]

Sorry, that you didn't get any answer so far.

Your output looks as if you have installed your own version of boost, since headers in /usr/local/include are used instead of the headers provided by the ubuntu packages in /usr/include. When you've installed your own boost version without the filesystem module, you might run into the trouble experienced.

However, you could probably also use the binary version for installation, simply run sudo apt install ros-noetic-ur-robot-driver. We are currently updating the README about this, as this was missing so far...

@LexTran @Anthony-EEE Hello, I have made the same mistake. Do you have any solution for it?

[VinDp]

Since some time has passed from the proposed solution, I will close this issue. Feel free to re-open it if still relevant.
