voxl-cross error when building voxl-open-vins-server

[SKA]

Hi!
When I try to build voxl-open-vins-server using voxl-cross:V4.4, first I run:

./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 dev

After which I build and face this error:

voxl-cross(4.4):~(voxl-open-vins-server)(0.5.6)$ ./build.sh qrb5165
Found voxl-cross version: 4.4

Let me know how I can get past this, thanks!

Also experiencing this issue. @Eric-Katzfey could you provide any inside here? I've also tried different branches in the open vins server repo and different branches for install_deps such as staging and sdk_1.6

[bendraper]

@Alex-Kushleyev any ideas?

[Eric Katzfey]

@bendraper Yes, we can recreate the failure. We need to release voxl-cross 4.8. We're working on it.

[Eric Katzfey]

@bendraper Actually, if you try to build the dev branch in voxl-cross:V4.4 it works but you first need to initialize the submodule with git submodule update --init. Can you try this with the dev branch and see if it works for you?

[bendraper]

@Eric-Katzfey I got about a million warnings when actually building but it did appear to build after initializing the submodules. Thanks!

@bendraper
Hello,
I hope this quick clarification helps for warnings:

CMake Policy warnings: OV internally (external dir in the repo) still uses boost and references an older cmake version -- it's a harmless warning for devs (as you are building from scratch)

Yaml-cpp lib warnings: This is a third party dependency that gets compiled from scratch during the make/build process. We use C++ 17 but the library is based on an older C++ version; nevertheless, it compiles fine on C++ 17 with minor warnings. -- it's a harmless warning

TrackOCL warning: ModalFlow is a core library written in C++ 17 that allows function call usage as done in TrackOCL, i.e., the narrowing conversion is harmless in this case.

That being said, we are actively working on the dev branch, so all flight--impacting warnings are hopefully caught early. We currently have no flight-impacting warnings/bugs identified, but if you found one warning/bug that caught your attention, please feel free to share.

All the best,
ZBFT
