Cannot build gpd_ros

[shmpwk]

Hi, I followed your README but have a trouble when building. My environment is Ubuntu 18.04, melodic.

I installed GPD and confirmed that it works. After cloning this repository and moving to my work space, I tried catkiin build gpd_ros. But error occurred saying " CMake Error at /home/shumpeiwakabayashi/ow_ws/src/gpd2_ros/CMakeLists.txt:20 (message): Library GPD not found "

Seeing CMakeList.txt:16,

find_library(GPD_LIB NAMES gpd PATHS /usr/local/lib PATH_SUFFIXES lib NO_DEFAULT_PATH)

Should I specify the path and if so how?

Thank you in advance!

did you install GBP library? It seems you need to compile and install by your self. It also reuires PCL 1.9, which is not released under even 18.04, so it will break your environment . Be careful. https://github.com/atenpas/gpd_ros#1-installation

In my opinion, catkin provides smart way to integrate ros package and cmake libraries. download gbp within your workspace, apply patch https://gist.github.com/k-okada/6e5350406cb45de173b996d958be1e42 run catkin config --install catkin b gbp (source install/setup.bash)? catkin b gbp_ros

Thank you for your reply.

did you install GBP library?

Actually, I installed GPD, and confirmed it works, but found that it failed to register GPD library under /usr/local. So I moved to /$(PATH_TO_gpd)/gpd/build, tried sudo make install and succeeded to use GPD as shared library.

Thank you for suggesting the other way of integrating ros package and library.
