Error compiling hector exploration node. Could not find hector_map_tools

Hello.

I'm new to ROS. I want to use hector exploration planner in my project which consists on a robot which must explore as many rooms as possible in a house. The robot doesn't have a map of the house. As I'm still learning the ropes, I want to use a package to do autonomous exploration and I found hector exploration.

I have downloaded https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p... (branch catkin) unzip it in /home/myName/catkin_ws/src/hector_navigation-catkin/ Then I cd to /home/myName/catkin_ws and I executed catkin_make but it doesn't work and I don't know how to fixed. I already had other compilation problems but I could fix them. Now I have the following error:

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "hector_map_tools" with any of the following names:

hector_map_toolsConfig.cmake

hector_map_tools-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "hector_map_tools" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "hector_map_tools_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "hector_map_tools" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed. Call Stack (most recent call first): hector_navigation-catkin/hector_elevation_visualization/CMakeLists.txt:7 (find_package)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Can somebody help me?

Thank you!

hector_map_tools is part of hector_slam. You should be able to satisfy this dependency by installing it from .debs:

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-hector-slam

Alternatively, you could add https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p... ti your workspace and compile it from source.
