    Hello,
    I'm trying to build voxl-tflite-server in voxl cross. Below is my setup:

    • voxl-cross:V4.0

    • voxl-tflite-server

      • cloned repo at this commit https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-tflite-server/-/commit/adbed8cd3fc7c08956a1a1e0759f344bc0285054

    I followed the instructions in voxl-tflite-server/README.md. I'm able to launch voxl-cross with the voxl-tflite-server repo directory mounted in the container. I ran the following command and got the following results.

    Based on the warning about the deprecated toolchain, I updated TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165 in build.sh

    TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165="/opt/cross_toolchain/qrb5165_ubun1_18.04_aarch64.toolchain.cmake"
    

    I also tried

    TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165="/opt/cross_toolchain/qrb5165_ubun2_20.04_aarch64.toolchain.cmake"
    

    That got rid of the warnings but I still got the error about

    /home/root/src/../include/config_file.h:37:10: fatal error: modal_json.h: No such file or directory
       37 | #include <modal_json.h>
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    

    I verified that modal_json.h is in /usr/include

    /home/root# ls -l  /usr/include/modal_json.h 
    -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 15619 May  2 00:42 /usr/include/modal_json.h
    

    I modified voxl-tflite-server/src/CMakeLists.txt to explicitly include /usr/include but that didn't help.

    include_directories(
        /usr/include/
        ../include/
        ..include/model_helper/
    

    I then created /tmp/include as a softlink to /usr/include

    root@artb-vm9-dev11:/tmp# ls -l
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  6 Jul  8 20:16 bionic-pkgs
    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul  9 00:17 include -> /usr/include/
    

    I modified voxl-tflite-server/src/CMakeLists.txt to explicitly include /tmp/include and that fixed the compilation error and everything compiled. .

    include_directories(
        /tmp/include/
        ../include/
        ..include/model_helper/
    

    However, then it failed when linking.

    I could try installing the missing sync library but based on the prior issues I encountered it seems like maybe I need to use different versions of voxl-cross and voxl-tflite-server. Ultimately I'm targeting a Starling 2 Max. Here is the configuration for that:

      Hello,
      I'm trying to build voxl-tflite-server in voxl cross. Below is my setup:

      • voxl-cross:V4.0

      • voxl-tflite-server

        • cloned repo at this commit https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-tflite-server/-/commit/adbed8cd3fc7c08956a1a1e0759f344bc0285054

      I followed the instructions in voxl-tflite-server/README.md. I'm able to launch voxl-cross with the voxl-tflite-server repo directory mounted in the container. I ran the following command and got the following results.

      Based on the warning about the deprecated toolchain, I updated TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165 in build.sh

      TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165="/opt/cross_toolchain/qrb5165_ubun1_18.04_aarch64.toolchain.cmake"
      

      I also tried

      TOOLCHAIN_QRB5165="/opt/cross_toolchain/qrb5165_ubun2_20.04_aarch64.toolchain.cmake"
      

      That got rid of the warnings but I still got the error about

      /home/root/src/../include/config_file.h:37:10: fatal error: modal_json.h: No such file or directory
         37 | #include <modal_json.h>
            |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      

      I verified that modal_json.h is in /usr/include

      /home/root# ls -l  /usr/include/modal_json.h 
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 15619 May  2 00:42 /usr/include/modal_json.h
      

      I modified voxl-tflite-server/src/CMakeLists.txt to explicitly include /usr/include but that didn't help.

      include_directories(
          /usr/include/
          ../include/
          ..include/model_helper/
      

      I then created /tmp/include as a softlink to /usr/include

      root@artb-vm9-dev11:/tmp# ls -l
      total 0
      drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root  6 Jul  8 20:16 bionic-pkgs
      lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Jul  9 00:17 include -> /usr/include/
      

      I modified voxl-tflite-server/src/CMakeLists.txt to explicitly include /tmp/include and that fixed the compilation error and everything compiled. .

      include_directories(
          /tmp/include/
          ../include/
          ..include/model_helper/
      

      However, then it failed when linking.

      I could try installing the missing sync library but based on the prior issues I encountered it seems like maybe I need to use different versions of voxl-cross and voxl-tflite-server. Ultimately I'm targeting a Starling 2 Max. Here is the configuration for that:
