ROS Kinetic Installation stuck on std_msgs

I'm trying to install ROS kinetic onto my raspberry pi 3b+. It's running raspbian jessie. But it gets stuck when processing catkin package std_msgs. It'll get to [100%] Built target std_msgs_generate_messages_cpp and just stay there for hours. I've already tried increasing the swap space but that didn't help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried to see whether catkin_make -j1 succeeds? If so, it could be a resource problem.

(I'm assuming you're using catkin_make here, not catkin_tools)

Forgive me, I'm very new at this so how could I tell if catkin_make -j1 succeeds?

If it doesn't hang your build?

I'm using the tutorial here: http://wiki.ros.org/ROSberryPi/Instal...

step 3.3 is where it's getting stuck at, what step would I check for catkin_make -j1?

You're using catkin_make_isolated, so just adjust the command to use -j1 instead of the -j4 that is shown in that tutorial.

I tried that now, it seems to have gotten stuck at [ 60%] Generating EusLisp manifest code for std_msgs The strange thing is that the cpu usage has fallen to zero so the raspberry pi doesn't seem to be doing anything

Well it was worth a shot. I'm not sure what the issue is now. Perhaps you could try strace.

I know this is going to be the answer no one want to use, but in my case, this solve my problem (so please, no hate).

I do not know if my problem is the same as yours (but have similar syntoms) in my case, I am using gentoo (which I know the support is experimental), I tried with kinetic and melodic and both cases had same problem catkin_make -j1 was getting stuck at Generating EusLisp manifest and this just happened with packages that have to compile msgs

since I don't really care about having ROS-EusLisp compatibility, I modified /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/geneus/gen_eus.py and commented the line geneus.geneus_main.genmain(sys.argv, 'gen_eus.py')

After that everything worked fine.

If you're going to disable message generation for (a) certain language, then I would recommend you do it using the official support for that. Refer to #q213511.
