[SOLVED] catkin_make hangs forever
ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
ROS Lunar on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
catkin_make starts up and gets as far as BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is on and then hangs. There are no high cpu processes listed in top, and no output to dmesg at all.
What else can I check to investigate why it hangs?
Edit:
A clean install of Lunar worked fine until today.

Delete
buildanddevel, and try running things as follows:If things hang, see what it was doing.
Seeing the
order_package.pyin thatpsoutput: how many packages do you have, and what sort of machine is this?Verbose output: https://pastebin.com/DiDiuGfZ Still hangs after BUILD_SHARE_LIBS is on.
We have one package with 8 nodes. This machine is an Intel NUC, we previously used a Surface Pro 3 that worked flawlessly for the past year or more, then recently stopped working.
Does
catkin_toolswork? That is not a solution, but just trying to get some more info.catkin_tools: command not found
Is it a command I should be running? Do I need to have something else installed first? I did the ros-lunar-desktop-full install.
catkin-tools.readthedocs.io.
catkin buildjust ran for an hour and didn't get anywhere...Let's take a step back: can you build an empty workspace (with
catkin_makeorcatkin build, I don't care). So:source /opt/ros/$distro/setup.bashmkdir -p /tmp/empty_ws/srccd /tmp/empty_wscatkin_makeI followed your instructions exactly and it behaves the same as before. Hangs after BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is on :(
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it! We are definitely at our wit's end with this thing and none of the similar issues we found online had a working solution.
