10 years ago Make sure that all dependencies are installed before you compile from source. The standard approach is to use the the rosdep tool for that. The wiki page is a little bit outdated. I could only find the important command line for catkin workspaces in a ROS answers post here:
cd ~/~hector_quadrotor_tutorial
rosdep install --from-path src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigoThis will install all dependencies of packages found in the src folder. The rosdep install [package] approach found in the wiki does not work for catkin workspaces.
Perhaps we should add this command to the tutorials at http://wiki.ros.org/hector_quadrotor/Tutorials, but on the other side this topic deserves a more general tutorial "How to build packages from source" in the ROS wiki as it is not hector_quadrotor specific. I could not find one.
I used the source code method to build the "Quadrotor outdoor flight demo" as the ros-hydro-hector-quadrotor-demo cannot be located. However, I cannot proceed with installation as I always encountered the following error message when doing "catkin_make", as shown in the following:
viki@c3po:~hector_quadrotor_tutorial$ catkin_make

Could you help fix this?
