Error when building on Ubuntu

[widdakay]

I have been getting error /voxelsdk/Voxel/SWIG/../Device.h:63: Error: Syntax error in input(3). when compiling under Ubuntu. This is in a Docker container to make sure that I have all dependencies listed and it is reproduceable. Here is the Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:14.04

# Install PCL and other dependencies
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN add-apt-repository ppa:v-launchpad-jochen-sprickerhof-de/pcl
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libpcl-all build-essential git wget tar

# Install updated cmake
RUN wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.5/cmake-3.5.2.tar.gz
RUN tar xf cmake-3.5.2.tar.gz
RUN cd cmake-3.5.2 && ./configure && make -j8 && make install

# Install VTK
RUN git clone git://vtk.org/VTK.git VTK
RUN mkdir /VTK/build && cd /VTK/build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release .. && make -j8

# Install VoxelSDK
RUN git clone https://github.com/3dtof/voxelsdk.git
RUN apt-get install -y swig libpcap-dev tcl-vtk python python-dev libudev-dev python-vtk libvtk-java
RUN cd voxelsdk && ./build-all-deb.sh 0.6.3

I get the error

I am not sure if this is due to compiler versions. Here is the gcc version (should be latest in apt repos):

Using built-in specs.

Line 63 in Device.h doesn't look too fancy or seem to have any syntax errors:

  // Need to implement in all derived classes
  virtual Vector<Ptr<Device>> getDevices(const Vector<int> &channels) const { return Vector<Ptr<Device>>(); }

Could you please confirm the swig version and did you install it from the hlprasu/swig-trusty-backports PPA as mentioned in the wiki?

It was a swig version problem. I had only seen the Installation on Linux page and not noticed the other installation page. When I combined them, I was able to get the install working. I ended up with this Dockerfile:

RUN ln -s /usr/bin/swig{3.0,}
