Unable to compile mongodb_store on Ubuntu 16.04 and kinetic

[christomaliyekkal]

Hi I am pretty new to ROS. I am using ROS kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04 I am getting compilation error for mongodb_store

Steps followed: 1) mkdir -p catkin_ws/src 2) cd catkin_ws 3) catkin_make 4) cd src 5) cloned source files from a) https://github.com/strands-project/mongodb_store/ b) https://github.com/ros/common_msgs.git

Now catkin_ws/src looks like below

cmuser@ubu-win027-cm:~/catkin_ws/src$ ls
beginner_tutorials  CMakeLists.txt  common_msgs  libmongocxx_ros  mongodb_log  mongodb_store  mongodb_store_msgs

6) mongocxx -driver a) git clone -b 26compat https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-cxx-driver.git b) sudo apt-get install scons cd mongo-cxx-driver sudo scons --prefix=/usr/local/ --full --use-system-boost --disable-warnings-as-errors sudo scons install

7) Now mongo-cxx-driver looks like below

cmuser@ubu-win027-cm:~/mongo-cxx-driver$ ls
APACHE-2.0.txt  build            coverage.info  httpClientTest    README.md             secondExample     tutorial

bsondemo        CONTRIBUTING.md  firstExample   libmongoclient.a  SConstruct            src

Now with this, I am getting compilation error as mentioned in the link below

Could you please help with this issue?

You don't need step 6. This will be done for you automatically if necessary. Before step 6 you should also make sure you run rosdep in case there are missing dependencies, e.g.

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro kinetic -y

I'm not sure what the actual problem is. It looks boost related. However it's during the compilation of the tests, so you could simply disable the tests in the cmake file and see what happens.

@hawesie Yes, after commenting out test, it compiled for me. Thanks for the help! :)
