Issue with catkin build

[kirilllzaitsev]

Hi, I'm trying to build point_labeler and voxelizer repositories following the instructions, however, I receive an error in both:

My g++ has version 12.2.0.

I would be grateful for some instructions on how to proceed.

[jbehley]

Please try to compile without the tests of glow (comment out the corresponding part in the CMakeList.txt of the glow subdirectory). If you want to compile with tests, you might need to install or get a new version of the google test libs.

hope that helps.

[jbehley]

is the issue resolved without compiling the tests?

[kirilllzaitsev]

@jbehley now it fails on a different bunch of tests:

[kirilllzaitsev]

Removing the tests from point_labeler as well allowed to compile a binary that works nicely

[jbehley]

so we can close the issue? maybe your PR with directly installing libgtest-dev resolves also the problems.

I think in the long run, I have to replace the catkin-based building with a proper cmake-based build.

[kirilllzaitsev]

Yes, let's close it. As a wrap-up, the issue is resolved by commenting out add_subdirectory(src/test) in CMakeFiles.txt found in point_labeler and glow.

libgtest-dev by itself helped me only to remedy No such file or directory problems related to GTest.
