error with cmake (using eigen from gtsam)

[baishibona]

Hi, I run into error when doing cmake in pcl with eigen from gtsam(Ubuntu 14.04 & Indigo):

CMake Error at cmake/Modules/FindEigen.cmake:29 (file):
file Internal CMake error when trying to open file:
/home/bona/software/gtsam-3.1.0/gtsam/3rdparty/Eigen/Eigen/src/Core/util/Macros.h

and "cmake -DEIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR="~/software/gtsam-3.1.0/gtsam/3rdparty/Eigen" .." failed.

Any suggestion?
Thanks.

What stage of the installation process as described by the wiki page was this?
https://github.com/CognitiveRobotics/omnimapper/wiki/Installation-&-Dependencies

Are you specifying omni mapper to build using the same 3rdparty/Eigen folder gtsam ships with?

[baishibona]

It was "Build OmniMapper Base", however same error also when compiling pcl. I did pcl with PPA though.

I remember gtsam and package installed pcl having issues with each other, as gtsam ships with a patched version of Eigen that has not been ported upstream in Eigen (last I checked, but that was a year ago). Take a look at the last revision of the Dockerfiles (the COPY lines), and see how I patched the original headers in Eigen to avoid compiling PCL from scratch:
https://github.com/CognitiveRobotics/omnimapper/blob/6d9b6d7404affc3ac07ac4281a3957085305fdc9/docker/demo/Dockerfile

I'm not sure if this still works, but I plan on revisiting the Dockerfiles in a week or so to update them to use the official ros images. Let me know how it goes.

[baishibona]

COPY HouseholderQR.h /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/src/QR/HouseholderQR.h
COPY CommaInitializer.h /usr/include/eigen3/Eigen/src/CommaInitializer.h

Did you mean these lines? Where do I get the packed headers from?

Actually, I think the error might be these lines in FindEigen.cmake:

if(EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR)
file(READ "${EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR}/Eigen/src/Core/util/Macros.h"
_eigen_version_header)

string(REGEX MATCH "define[ \t]+EIGEN_WORLD_VERSION[ \t]+([0-9]+)"
_eigen_world_version_match "${_eigen_version_header}")
set(EIGEN_WORLD_VERSION "${CMAKE_MATCH_1}")
string(REGEX MATCH "define[ \t]+EIGEN_MAJOR_VERSION[ \t]+([0-9]+)"
_eigen_major_version_match "${_eigen_version_header}")
set(EIGEN_MAJOR_VERSION "${CMAKE_MATCH_1}")
string(REGEX MATCH "define[ \t]+EIGEN_MINOR_VERSION[ \t]+([0-9]+)"
_eigen_minor_version_match "${_eigen_version_header}")
set(EIGEN_MINOR_VERSION "${CMAKE_MATCH_1}")
set(EIGEN_VERSION
${EIGEN_WORLD_VERSION}.${EIGEN_MAJOR_VERSION}.${EIGEN_MINOR_VERSION})
endif(EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR)

If I simply comment these lines, cmake .. will work, however compile failed
as missing eigen dependency.
Could you confirm that the lines above is correct while configuring make
files?
Thanks!

The patched headers are in the same folder for the docker build context:
https://github.com/CognitiveRobotics/omnimapper/tree/6d9b6d7404affc3ac07ac4281a3957085305fdc9/docker/demo

If you use say cmake-qt-gui or cmake-gui to configure cmake, do you see the eigen path properly pointed to that of gtsam's in it 3rdparty folder?

[baishibona]

yes, I think I have the correct path for eigen, please find the details in
attachment:

​
As I just skipped pcl and jumped to omnimapper, it can pass cmake ..(with
the 3rd party eigen), however failed when make.
Error was :

In file included from /usr/include/pcl-1.7/pcl/common/common.h:41:0,
from
/home/bona/software/omnimapper/base/src/transform_tools.cpp:2:
/usr/include/pcl-1.7/pcl/pcl_base.h:49:27: fatal error: Eigen/StdVector: No
such file or directory
#include <Eigen/StdVector>

Not sure whether it is something wrong with Eigen path.

I think you're using email reply to this issue, although github issue threads do use attachment, perhaps use something like pastebin?

I'll have to check if i can reproduce this with the current debian packages for trusty when I refactor the dockerfiles.

[baishibona]

Oops, sorry for missing the attachment, yes I did reply to email. Please find it here, I hope this time it will work. Sorry I am not familiar with pastebin, so I put it onto google drive.

Thanks!

Any workaround to this issue? I can't run any PCL code due to this error
