Hi all,

I'm trying to compile perception_pcl on my Pi 2. I have compiled pcl 1.7 and that's installed sucessfully. But I'm getting the error messages below - all saying the file pcl_msgs/PointIndices.h cannot be found. This is apart of the pcl distro and the file is on the system. Any ideas?

Thanks

Mark

Okay found the problem - the PCL build takes up over 2Gb of swap space (god knows why) when compiling some parts. So increasing the swap space did the job (Took over 24 hrs on Pi 2).

Also - should anyone else happen on these I kow the Pi 2 has 4 corse but set =-j1 because as stated the demand on memory is so high that is won't make any difference.

Hey,

I assume that you want to use newer version of PCL (which was not installed with ROS). You would need to install PCL from source. Download desired PCL repo from this link. Then, compile it from source while setting USE_ROS param 'true'.

mkdir build
cd build 
cmake .. -DUSE_ROS=1
sudo make install -j

another way is to include standalone-pcl directory in CMakeLists.txt file of your package using include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS} ) and linking executable with target_link_libraries(exec_name ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_LIBRARIES})

hope this helps

Hi - cheers for the answer - just FYI PCL has now been separated from ROS - https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/wiki/Remove-ROS
