orocos-bfl not found when building ROS lunar + Ubuntu 16.04
I am trying to wrap my head around building ROS navigation. I have read as much as I can online, none of the answers posted are a fix and most are a few years out of date.
My robot_pose_ekf CMakeList.txt reads as follows:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(robot_pose_ekf)
find_package(PkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(BFL REQUIRED orocos-bfl)
include_directories(${BFL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
message("BFL include dirs:" ${BFL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
message("BFL library dirs:" ${BFL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
link_directories(${BFL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
I have played around with orocos-bfl bfl or BFL or some other permutations to no avail.
I am not confident at all the bfl is even installed. I followed some instructions to install it as it is an independant package but the sources are dead links.
With all the people on a recent install of ubuntu 16.04 trying to get the navigation stack running I can't be the only one with this trouble...
I found this page and I have no idea what it means: http://repositories.ros.org/status_pa...
I installed this package but it is just an empty package: https://github.com/ros-gbp/bfl-release
I also tried the following which is a dead link: https://people.mech.kuleuven.be/~tdel...
Any pointers on installing bfl?
Thank you
Do you have a specific reason for wanting to build it from source?
