Please take a look in the closed issues, there are several answers to this question around. Thanks

Hello Simon,

I have exactly the same error too, and it's true that there are several answers to this question but there is no solution anywhere just few comments...

I am also experiencing this error.

Although this issue is closed here: https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_ptam/issues/39 it did not help me to solve the problem.

I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS running ROS Indigo.

UPDATE: Also, there is an open issue about the same thing: https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_ptam/issues/48

I found help in the comments there.

Also having the same problem - check the answers given previously, none of these helped - still having problems with PtamParamsConfig.h missing

[aspears1935]

The solution in my case is below:

The dependency PtamParamsConfig.h file wasn't being generated before packages that needed it were being built. To solve this I called catkin_make for just the config file generator node before calling catkin_make again to make all packages. i.e.:

• catkin_make ptam_gencfg

• catkin_make

Doing it in this order guaranteed that the PtamParamsConfig.h file was generated before it was required to build the main ptam nodes.

So I found that for a successful clean build in Ubuntu 14.04 follow these steps:

• Install Ubuntu 14.04
• Install ros-indigo-desktop-full (http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installation/Ubuntu)
• Install PTAM dependencies: >> sudo apt-get install git libblas-dev liblapack-dev freeglut3-dev
• Create catkin_ws: >> mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
• Clone the ptam project into the src directory
• Navigate to catkin_ws dir >> cd catkin_ws
• Make the config files >> catkin_make ptam_gencfg
• Make the ptam project >> catkin_make

Hopefully that helps some others as well.
