hector_quadrotor_demo process dies

edit

Hi, so I'll make this as specific as possible, beginning with how created my workspace in kinetic.

I tried several methods, because i was asked to preferably use "catkin build" instead of catkin_make: i created a folder in ~/kinetic_ws:

1. catkin init

   Catkin workspace /home/carsten is already initialized. No action taken. WARNING: Source space /home/carsten/src does not yet exist.

2. wstool init Didn't work aswell, so I used

3. catkin_make which resulted in echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH /home/carsten/kinetic_ws/src:/opt/ros/kinetic/share

I then

• rm build devel -rf

so that I could compile using the catkin build command.

So now that i have my workspace "properly" set up, I downloaded the following (meta?)packages into my /src folder:

• git clone https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p...
• git clone
  https://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-p...

I had to download several tools:

• sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-hector-gazebo
• sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-gazebo-plugins ros-kinetic-gazebo-ros-control
• sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-hector-models

I couldn't build the package, I googled and found a solution using

• rm -rf ~/.catkin_tools

Afterwards, i was able to compile:

catkin build hector_quadrotor

But I was wondering why 10 packages were skipped. I then compiled the other package:

catkin build hector_localization
