fatal error: libcaer/libcaer.h: No such file or directory

[yuanliang861]

When I run "catkin_make", it occurs this problem. In folder dvs_clustering_tracking/src/dvs_clustering_tracking/libcaer/include, there is no file named libcaer.h.But there is a file named libcaer_in.h, I rename it as libcaer.h. It does not work. ` Scanning dependencies of target dvs_renderer [ 40%] Building CXX object dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/src/driver_nodelet.cpp.o [ 42%] Building CXX object dvs_clustering_tracking/dvs_renderer/CMakeFiles/dvs_renderer.dir/src/image_tracking.cpp.o In file included from /home/zhao/dvs_clustering_tracking/src/dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/include/davis_ros_driver/driver_nodelet.h:20:0, from /home/zhao/dvs_clustering_tracking/src/dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/src/driver_nodelet.cpp:18: /home/zhao/dvs_clustering_tracking/src/dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/include/davis_ros_driver/driver.h:34:29: fatal error: libcaer/libcaer.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/build.make:62: recipe for target 'dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/src/driver_nodelet.cpp.o' failed make[2]: [dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/src/driver_nodelet.cpp.o] Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1321: recipe for target 'dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/all' failed make[1]: [dvs_clustering_tracking/davis_ros_driver/CMakeFiles/davis_ros_driver_nodelet.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: No rule to make target '/home/zhao/dvs_clustering_tracking/devel/lib/libcaer.so', needed by '/home/zhao/dvs_clustering_tracking/devel/lib/davis_ros_driver/davis_ros_driver'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b

HEAD is now at 5746691... Events: add Point4D event, useful for tracking homogeneous coordinates for example.

Hi, I am sorry, but libcaer is part of the the library provided by UZH (it is in the documentation). If you have any problems with it, it could be because they have updated it. Please, do redirect any questions you have about that to them. From your, it looks like your are not including the path to the library correctly. Regards

Thank you

I solved the problem by following the instructions in https://gitlab.com/inivation/dv/libcaer Hopefully, it can be of some help!
