Cross compile cache problem!

[ZahraBoroujeni]

System Info

• Operating System: 3.16.0-30-generic
• Python Version: 2.7.6
• Version of catkin_tools: 0.4.2 OR Git revision master
• ROS Distro: indigo

  Build / Run Issue

• [ ] Works with catkin_make
• [ ] Works with catkin_make_isolated --merge
• [x] Works with catkin build
• [ ] Works with catkin build -p1
• [ ] I did not read this

  Expected Behavior

I want to do cross compiling for arm processor. I can compile the code using catkin build, but when I want to do cross compiling for example using catkin build --profile odroid , I receive error below, but if I open CMakeLists.txt file of packages and resave them by adding a minor change like a space, it will compile correctly!

Actual Behavior

$ catkin build cv_bridge --profile odroid

after add a space to CMakeLists.txt of cv_bridge and save it again, the cross compile worked!

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

[wjwwood]

Generally CMake is only re-run when there's change in one of the cmake files or if one of the options given to catkin_tools changes that we know affects cmake (like the cmake arguments). What profile are you changing from and do they share the same build space? What we need to figure out is if catkin_tools could have known cmake needed to be rerun and therefore should have forced cmake to reconfigure.

Separately from that, you can force cmake to be rerun by passing the --force-cmake option to catkin build.
