Having problems getting velodyne_simulator to make
I am trying to use the velodyne_simulator package to get a VLP-16 working in conjunction with a model of an ev. I cloned the repository a couple of weeks ago and have been working off that which has been working incredibly well.
Yesterday I was trying to make sure I could recreate my workspace so that others could have access to it and was writing a set of instructions for setup which included cloning the repository. When I tried to call catkin_make on my new test workspace I got an error message
CMake Error at /home/hugh/Desktop/alpha/devel/share/gazebo_plugins/cmake/gazebo_pluginsConfig.cmake:141 (message): Project 'velodyne_gazebo_plugins' tried to find library '-lpthread'. The
library is neither a target nor built/installed properly. Did you compile project 'gazebo_plugins'? Did you find_package() it before the subdirectory containing its code is included? Call Stack (most recent call first):
/opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:76 (find_package)
velodyne_simulator/velodyne_gazebo_plugins/CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package)-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/home/hugh/Desktop/alpha/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

Makefile:7416: recipe for target 'cmake_check_build_system' failed make: * [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1 Invoking "make cmake_check_build_system" failed <
I was wondering if anybody had encountered this problem before and know a solution or can think of something that I have missed which has caused this? I am quite new to ROS and gazebo so I wouldn’t be surprised if I have missed something blindingly obvious.
When I copy over all of the folders in the src directory from my currently working workspace to the new one, catkin_make works properly but when I move just the velodyne_description folder over it still doesn’t work.
Thanks so much!
