Failed to process package 'pcl'

Note: links are disguised since the forum won't let me post them. Please recover them accordingly.

I get the following errors when executing ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install as suggested by the build instructions for OS X (v10.8.2) (see here).

You can view my complete shell log for the installation command here.

This seems to be a regression bug of some sort, judging by the fact that many people have had similar error messages before, though seemingly for different reasons (I checked the pcl_find_ros.cmake file and it looks up-to-date, since this seemed to be the culprit previously).

Any ideas here, folks?

Here's the full log btw: https://gist.github.com/alexreg/5001646

The problem seems to have been reported here, by the way: http://www.pcl-users.org/Can-t-build-the-trunk-PLY-Problems-td4019193.html -- it exists in the latest (1.6.0) release of PCL.

Despite a fix being committed over 6 months ago...

@Dan Lazewatsky: Yeah, though that specific fix seems to have been incorporated. This is independent, unless I'm mistaken. Any luck with it?

@Dan Lazewatsky: I see that PCL offers an OS X download/installer. Is that a sufficient substitute for the version of PCL included, you think? http://pointclouds.org/downloads/macosx.html

I think there is some magic that happens in the version included with ROS, but I'm not sure. @William might know more.

I am not sure that will work, but you can try to build pcl_ros on top of the installer version of PCL. I think it might not work due to the way PCL includes ROS messages as part of its design, but you can try it.

Yeah, no luck unfortunately! The PCL build really is badly broken on OS X. :/

Asked by Noldorin on 2013-02-26 12:19:40 UTC

pcl doesn't build or pcl_ros does not build? If so can you post the output of pcl_ros's build failure.

Asked by William on 2013-02-26 12:27:40 UTC

@William: I don't know if you're willing to assist me in real-time for a little (I appreciate your advice so far); I actually have a few build errors for different steps, if you would like to step through them together?

Asked by Noldorin on 2013-02-26 12:41:39 UTC

@William: Oh, I'm being silly. The error output of the pcl build is just above in this very thread. It doesn't even reach pcl_ros.
