I ran into dependency problem with building catkin_ws for kitti_to_rosbag package
I am provided with a kitti dataset at http://kitti.is.tue.mpg.de/kitti/raw_... . I have to convert this dataset into rosbag using the package https://github.com/ethz-asl/kitti_to_... . This package require dependencies provided in the link https://github.com/ethz-asl/kitti_to_... . After cloning kitti_to_rosbag package into my ~/cw/src and performing catkin_make in my catkin workspace produces the following error:
CMake Error at kitti_to_rosbag/kitti_to_rosbag/CMakeLists.txt:4 (find_package): By not providing "Findcatkin_simple.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "catkin_simple", but CMake did not find one. Could not find a package configuration file provided by "catkin_simple" with any of the following names: catkin_simpleConfig.cmake and catkin_simple-config.cmake
I followed the following commands:
cd ~/cw/src
git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/kitti_to_...
cd ..
catkin_make
In an attempt to rectify this error, I also cloned all dependent packages(catkin_simple, cv_bridge, eigen_checks ...) provided in the package.xml for kitti_to_rosbag into my catkin/src folder. However, it gives this error
No rule to make target '/home/user/catkin_ws/devel/lib/libgflags.so', needed by '/home/user/catkin_ws/devel/lib/libeigen_checks.so
Any help would be greatly appreciated . Having a deadline for this task, I am open to alternative packages/methods.
