Issue during instalation : make errors

[GauDelpech]

Hi hpp team,

I'd like to try hpp to see if it could be a good tool to use in my project for trajectory generation aspects. For that, I tried to install hpp with its tutorials but I faced some issues.

First, I tried to follow the binary installation of the stable version of hpp but at step 3 the package "robotpkg-osg-dae" seems to be not found.

So I tried the source installation but some errors occured during step 7. At line "make iai_maps.install" this error occurs :

I also noticed that folders like hpp-tutorial or hpp-doc are missing in my folder $DEVEL_HPP_DIR/src.

Have you any idea of something that I could have done wrong ? Or that I should change ?

Thanks for your help, Gauthier

Hello, Thank you for giving a try to our software. Can you cd into iai_maps/build-rel, type cmake .. and report the result ?

[GauDelpech]

Hello florent, thanks for your quick reaction.

Here is the full result of the command

It seems that git clone did not work correctly. git submodule cmake is missing. Can you remove directory iai_maps, type iai_maps.checkout, check that iai_maps/cmake directory exists ? You should then be able to restart compilation.

[GauDelpech]

I'm a bit confused, when I try iai_maps.checkout I just get iai_maps.checkout : commande introuvable

[florent-lamiraux]

Sorry make iai_maps.checkout

[GauDelpech]

Thanks, I get something :

if [ -d iai_maps ]; then \
    echo "iai_maps already checkout out."; \
else \
    git clone --quiet --recursive -b master https://github.com/humanoid-path-planner/iai_maps; \
fi \

but nothing seems to happen after 5 min.

Edit : Ho it took a bit of time but it seems to work

[florent-lamiraux]

Do you have a good internet connexion ? If the command git clone fails but that the directory is created, the Makefile does not trigger git clone again.

[GauDelpech]

Actually I'm currently in a situation where I can only use 3G. I think this is the point of the problem.

But right now, make iai_maps.install have been done well and make all seems to be executed without other issue. If I still have a problem i'll retry the installation when I could have an access to wifi.

I close this issue for now and I'll may reopen it if needed Many thanks Florent for your help and your time.

I opened a PR to update the binary install instructions. They should make your life easier.
