Hello all!

I am trying to install ROS mobile meta-package/stack on a Raspbian (Raspberry Pi Model B) following the instructions on this link: www.ros.org/wiki/groovy/Installation/Raspbian/Source (sorry about no link, seems like I have bad karma...)

I am just following that recipe now, so it is a Groovy installation on the lastest Raspbian OS.

Everthing works great, and I managed to finish the catkin part of the build successfully (after some days of native compilation). Now I am facing a missing dependency error given by rosmake on package robotposeekf:

  mkdir -p bin
  cd build && cmake -Wdev -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/ros/groovy/share/ros/core/rosbuild/rostoolchain.cmake  ..
  [rosbuild] Building package robot_pose_ekf
  Failed to invoke /opt/ros/groovy/bin/rospack deps-manifests robot_pose_ekf
  [rospack] Error: package/stack 'robot_pose_ekf' depends on non-existent package 'bfl' and rosdep claims that it is not a system dependency. Check the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH or try calling 'rosdep update'

Checking whether catkin compiled and installed the bfl package right, I did a:

pi@raspberrypi /opt/ros/groovy/ros_catkin_ws/build_isolated/bfl $ ../../../env.s
h make install

Seems like everything is good. Except that no package information was installed under /opt/ros/groovy/share/bfl, so, seems like rosmake is right in complaining about the missing dependency (at least the missing information that the dependency was installed).

I am pretty sure that removing bfl as a dependency from navigation/robotposeekf/manifest.xml and navigation/stack.xml will solve the problem, but I would rather solve the dependency issue.

Is this something really wrong with the bfl package? Or is it my build somehow? How can I solve that the best way possible?

Thanks!

Update: removing bfl as a dependency for the navigation/robotposeekl and navigation package/stack will get it a little bit further, but compilation will fail right after with a:

  [ 66%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/robot_pose_ekf.dir/src/odom_estimation.cpp.o

  make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/ros/groovy/ros_ws/navigation/robot_pose_ekf/build'

As seen above, the extendendedkalmanfilter.h file is under /include/bfl, seems like make isn't going at that depth.

Any ideas?
