Building failed. Running ./RedistMaker

Trying to install OpenNI to use Xbox Kinect camera. But when I follow the guide at:

http://wiki.ros.org/openni_camera https://www.20papercups.net/programming/kinect-on-ubuntu-with-openni/

I get to step 2. Then get this error. Looking around for a while, but I cant seem to find anything that fixes it. Anyone got a clue?

This is only some of the console. I cant scroll any higher. Might be a better way of doing this, but I'm trying :)

This is the command I'm running: 

toby@toby-ubuntu:~/OpenNI/Platform/Linux/CreateRedist$ sudo ./RedistMaker

Thanks in advanced.

The problem you're encountering seems to be one in OpenNI proper. Not in any ROS integration (yet).

The issue tracker of OpenNI also seems to have quite a few similar issues reported.

I would suggest to try and get support there, as we're not OpenNI experts here.

I see, I'll try that. Thx

you can find the solution here, by a guy named AlanNaoto.

Quoting his comment:

I resolved this issue by installing an older version of GCC on Ubuntu 18.04. https://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/how-to-choose-the-default-gcc-and-g-version I ended up with gcc-4.8, gcc-6 and gcc-7 in sudo update-alternatives --config gcc, chose 4.8 and rebuilt successfully.

Thanks a lot! That worked for me (Also Ubuntu 18.04 here). I issued the following commands:

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 40
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 30

Then I choose gcc 4.8 with:

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc

Repeated the same steps for g++

sudo apt-get install g++-4.8
sudo update-alternatives --config g++
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7 40
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8 30

And then choosing g++ 4.8 with:

sudo update-alternatives --config g++

(commands adapted from here: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-and-setup-gcc-4-1g4-1-in-ubuntu-10-0410-10)

Had some issues installing SensorKinect later, so had to download/compile from another branch: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28323843
