Problem with makefile

[oguzhancebe]

Hello, I added the following line to bash.rc export DEVEL_DIR="hppdev" And I followed the installation guide, yet when I make robot_state_chain_publisher.install; I get the following error

robot_state_chain_publisher already checkout out.
mkdir -p hppdev/src/robot_state_chain_publisher/build-rel; \
    cd hppdev/src/robot_state_chain_publisher/build-rel; \
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=hppdev/install -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDEBINFO="-g -O3 -DNDEBUG"  ..
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/oguz14/hppdev/src/hppdev/src/robot_state_chain_publisher" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
make[1]: *** [robot_state_chain_publisher.configure_nodep] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/oguz14/hppdev/src'
make: *** [robot_state_chain_publisher.configure] Error 2

I see a robot_state_chain_publisher folder is cloned to my hppdev/src, but an hppdev/src/hppdev/src/robot_state_chain_publisher/build-rel folder is also created, which seemed strange and this folder is empty and thus, the CMake error.

Can you help me about this?

Hello, DEVEL_DIR must be an absolute path and a relative one.

However, the error message suggests something else. robot_state_chain_publisher was not downloaded so I guess you tried re-running make robot_state_chain_publisher.install. After making sure DEVEL_DIR is an absolute path, could you check if file $DEVEL_DIR/src/robot_state_chain_publisher/CMakeLists.txt exists ?

DEVEL_DIR must be an absolute path and a relative one.

Sorry for the novice mistake. Setting it as an absolute path solved the problem. But now, make all gives the following error

Thanks for the report. This is an issues in the target dependencies in our Makefile. I will fix it.

Meanwhile, if you do not plan to work with humanoid robots, you can change line 16 of $DEVEL_DIR/src/Makefile from

HUMANOID=TRUE

to

HUMANOID=FALSE

2106800dff038978c3f567b6e46086902f7017b2 should fix the target dependency issue.

Closing because the problem seems to be solved.
