Installing KDL with python bindings on macos when building from source

[lesurJ]

Hi,

For an academic project, I am required to use KDL on a 6-axis robot. The problem is that I am not successful at installing KDL from source. The python bindings are also not makable.

I am working on an intel-based macbook pro running macOS 10.15.7. I am not using ROS and hence have to build the KDL from source.

For this, I followed the steps described on the installation page up to the make command. When calling make, I get a lot of error as shown below.

I tried another way by using the brew install orocos-kdl which ended up working for the basic orocos_kdl.

After that I need to install the python bindings and once again, the make command is failing.

Did anyone succeed at installing both KDL and python bindings when building from source on a mac?

Thanks for any help or advices!

I am also having a problem generating the bindings of the latest build.

If you don't need the latest build, then just clone the repo from the v1.5.1 tag
