Running step 2.1.3 Building the catkin Workspace of http://www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/OSX/Homebrew/Source produces the following error (on OS X 10.8.2). It looks like it's a problem interfacing with BOOST?

[ 88%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/draw_square.dir/tutorials/draw_square.cpp.o

<== Failed to process package 'turtlesim': 
  Command '/opt/ros/groovy/env.sh make -j8 -l8' returned non-zero exit status 2

Reproduce this error by running:
==> /opt/ros/groovy/env.sh make -j8 -l8

Command failed, exiting.

Any suggestions, people? Thanks in advance.

I am using boost 1.49 on OSX, which is what I believe Groovy is build for, you can try that out but I am not sure if it will work ...

@Hansg91: I could try that yeah, although I'd prefer the latest version of Boost be available (via brew) normally...

I seem to have isolated the error: <https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22829>. Will report back soon!

Safer to use the boost version ROS was built and tested with.

This has already been fixed in source:

https://github.com/ros/ros_tutorials/pull/6

UPDATE:

To get ros_tutorials from source into your workspace:

$ cd /path/to/your/workspace
$ rm -rf src/ros_tutorials src/roscpp_tutorials src/rospy_tutorials src/turtlesim
$ cd src
$ git clone https://github.com/ros/ros_tutorials.git
$ cd ..
$ catkin_make_isolated --install

That should get the ros_tutorials packages from source. (this may or may not work if there have been breaking changes in other packages which affect ros_tutorials)

Okay, that's great. How do I install from source though? Are their instructions parallel to the ones I linked to above?

You'll have to remove the packages affected from your workspace and fetch them from source instead. Currently there isn't any easy way to do this. I'll update my answer with instructions.

Thanks @William. I'll give that a go now and report back.

Noldorin ( 2013-02-25 10:45:36 -0500 )edit

@William that might be the case with me. After I cloned ros_tutorials, I still got stuck at "Failed to process package 'roscpp_tutorials'". Removing the entire ros_tutorials worked it around. Then I cloned it again but same problem.

It seems like @William's update moved the location of 'roscpp_tutorials' which causes the rebuild to fail. I had to 'rm -rf build_isolated' before running the build command for it to work. There is probably a less nuclear option, but that worked for me.
