When building on Mac Sierra, I got an error, and then used this command to reproduce. By the way, excellent logging and tools for trying to narrow down the problem! Anyway, here's the command:

cd /Users/pitosalas/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/roslz4 && /Users/pitosalas/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated/env.sh cmake /Users/pitosalas/ros_catkin_ws/src/ros_comm/roslz4 -DCATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX=/Users/pitosalas/ros_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/roslz4 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/pitosalas/ros_catkin_ws/install_isolated -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G 'Unix Makefiles'

This command gives the following error in trying to build roslz4 and I can't find any info on where to look to fix it.

This is part of the many problems in getting ROS up on Mac. You can read my summary of this experience in another question. Bottom line, I abandoned trying to install it on Mac, there are just too many loose ends. I am having far better success with running ROS under VMWare with Ubuntu.

On Debian 9 I fixed the same issue installing liblz4-dev

That should not be necessary (rosdep has rules for lz4: here). If something is not working, it might be worth to report it as an issue.

I think it doesn't work on Debian 9 where I installed python-rosdep but still had many missing dependencies later when building kinetic (or this package has just an outdated dependency list)

python-rosdep does not pull in those dependencies (such as lz4). You'd have to invoke rosdep install --from-paths /path/to/catkin_ws/src --ignore-src ... for that.

I'm aware of rosdep install --from-paths WORKSPACE --ignore-src --rosdistro=ROSDISTRO but in my case I'm installing the whole system, I have no sources yet

Are you doing a source install, or using regular debs?

gvdhoorn gravatar image gvdhoorn  ( 2018-01-25 06:55:35 -0500 )edit

I'm doing a source install, didn't find existing debs for Debian 9

If you're doing a source install than you must have run rosdep install. It's one of the required steps. That should've installed the right lz4 packages for you.

If it didn't, that would be a problem and should be reported.

Thanks @gvdhoorn I definitely missed that
