Gtest errors when compiling workspace

asked 2018-08-06 13:14:51 -0500

For some time now (due to some update, probably), I have problems with GTest when compiling a workspace.

When installing GTest on the system, libgtest.so and libgtest_main.so are created, and cmake finds them. They are static or dynamic depending on how it is installed. Everithing is OK (I suppose)

When compiling a workspace, I always have the same error:

-- Using Python nosetests: /usr/bin/nosetests-2.7
-- catkin 0.7.11

This is caused because in /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/test/gtest.cmake:363, libgtest.so is required to be built, even if it exists in the system, producing that error.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is it misconfigured in my system?

What version of the package ros-kinetic-catkin do you have installed?

You will need to update ros-kinetic-catkin to at least version 0.7.12 (see https://github.com/ros/catkin/blob/ki... ).

Yes, it fixed my problem :) Thanks!!!

The point is that, as far as I know, 0.7.11 is the current version for kinetic xenial, and it seems to be broken...

Since other Xenial systems don't face the problem I would assume there is a difference on your system. Do you have a custom version of gtest / googletest installed? Anyway the latest version of catkin should become available in Kinetic in a future sync.

It is an updated xenial distro, and gtest is installed using the libgtest-dev package in the distro (1.7.0-4). Obviously, there is a particularity, but I do not figure out which.

What is the process of updating ros-kinetic-catkin to 0.7.12 since there's only one candidate (0.7.11) to install with apt install?

I suppose to build from source and install. What's the preferred install location?

Version 0.7.14 has recently been released into Kinetic. The status page ( http://repositories.ros.org/status_pa... ) shows that it has been built already (first green square), once all other Kinetic packages have been rebuild it becomes available in the testing repo...

(second square, currently blue since it has still the old version) - that should happen within 24h. After that it becomes available in the main repo when the "ROS Boss" decides to sync which is announced on Discourse (usually within a couple of weeks).

The Debian package is in the building repo ( http://repositories.ros.org/ubuntu/bu... ) if you want to install it ahead of time. In this case that should be fine - in other cases I wouldn't recommend it.
