pointcloud_to_laserscan catkin_make fail

asked 2015-03-09 14:08:01 -0500

I'm am trying to utilize the Microsoft Kinect for navigation. I am utilizing ROS Hydro on Ubuntu 12.04.

I have not figured out how to use the navigation stack yet, so if you have any pointers on that, send them my way.

I have noticed that most of the navigation packages require /laserscan rather than/pointcloud2, so I have begun to try to get pointcloud_to_laserscan up and running.

I downloaded the package utilizing:

git clone https://github.com/ros-perception/perception_pcl.git

but when I ran catkin_make I received the following error:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/hydro/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:75 (find_package):
  Could not find a configuration file for package tf2_sensor_msgs.

  Set tf2_sensor_msgs_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration
  file for tf2_sensor_msgs.  The file will have one of the following names:

    tf2_sensor_msgsConfig.cmake
    tf2_sensor_msgs-config.cmake

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  perception_pcl/pointcloud_to_laserscan/CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package)



CMake Error at perception_pcl/pcl_ros/CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package):
  Could not find module Findcmake_modules.cmake or a configuration file for
  package cmake_modules.

  Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find Findcmake_modules.cmake or set
  cmake_modules_DIR to the directory containing a CMake configuration file
  for cmake_modules.  The file will have one of the following names:

    cmake_modulesConfig.cmake
    cmake_modules-config.cmake

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1
Invoking "make cmake_check_build_system" failed

I'm relatively new at this. Any thoughts?

Hi, Did you convert pointcloud to laserscan?

This is because you cloned the repo, but did not install any dependencies. To install dependencies you would run:

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

Incidentally you cloned the indigo-devel branch by default, which will not work on hydro.

Why not just install the binaries via apt-get? This will pull in all dependencies automatically:

sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-pointcloud-to-laserscan

Good question...

sudo apt-get worked just fine.

Thanks.
