    Hi Howard,

    The error occurs further up in the text. Without it I'm not sure what the issue is. Please could you post a more complete image of the error?

        @Matthew-Booker
        Sorry for being late, we were trying to build the package again on voxl cross,
        We got the following error,
        https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C1fZl-i5CzY3OUXER0KUOl3I6TGEhlw1XSsiebbMCr4/edit?usp=drivesdk
        After analysis we felt that ceres server package was missing hence we installed it using the instructions provided on the ceres server page. https://ceres-solver.org/installation.html
        We even customised the build by using tye command

        cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-march=native" /home/root/ceres-solver
        

        After running make install as seen in above link
        We noticed that the libceres.a file was in /usr/local/bin and not in /usr/lib64
        Hence we copied libceres.a file to usr/lib64 but we ended up getting the following error, '/usr/lib64/libceres.a: error adding symbols: file in wrong format'
        The scenario can be seen in the below document.

        Please help us in solving the error
        Thanks!

          Hi Howard,

          So the issue here is you've built ceres-solver for the native architecture which would mean that if you are running voxl-cross on your own desktop it built ceres-solver for your desktops architecture. In any case we have our own ceres-solver which you can install. Could you post the results of running cat /etc/opkg/opkg.conf on your VOXL?

          Also just a heads up that I should have mentioned earlier. In about a week or two there will be a major update to voxl-mapper which should bring a lot of improvements but will change a lot of things.

            This is the output on voxl cross.but on voxl2 we couldn't run the command for opkg.
            Can you please tell the equivalent command for voxl 2 ?

                Can I double check. Did you run ./install_build_deps.sh before trying to build?

                If building for a VOXL 2 the full command would be ./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 stable

                  If we are building it for voxlcam, what should be used?

                  If we use ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 stable, we get the error,

                    @Nishkala you can instead use ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 sdk-0.8

                          @Matthew-Booker Thanks a lot!

                          What works for me is:

                          voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 sdk-0.8
                          voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./build.sh apq8096
                          voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./make_package.sh ipk
                          scp voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk root@10.0.1.10:

                          On voxl 1 board, I added arm64 7 to /etc/opkg/arch.conf
                          voxl:~$ voxl-configure-opkg dev
                          opkg install --force-reinstall --force-downgrade --force-depends --force-overwrite voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk

                          Then everything seems to work so far!

                            @Matthew-Booker However, when I try to save the mesh from the portal, in my compiled version, I get this symbol not found error. Any ideas why it can not find this function and how to fix it? Many thanks in advance.

                              @Arjun-Jain Looks like a mismatch in the voxl-voxblox version. Since you've already configured opkg you should just be able to run opkg install voxl-voxblox and it should work.

                                  @Nishkala When you build for voxl2 you need to use qrb5165 not apq8096 so the full command would be:
                                  ./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 sdk-0.8
                                  ./build.sh qrb5165
                                  ./make_package.sh

                                    @Matthew-Booker Thanks a lot!

                                    What works for me is:

                                    voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./install_build_deps.sh apq8096 sdk-0.8
                                    voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./build.sh apq8096
                                    voxl-cross:~/voxl-mapper(master)(0.0.7)$ ./make_package.sh ipk
                                    scp voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk root@10.0.1.10:

                                    On voxl 1 board, I added arm64 7 to /etc/opkg/arch.conf
                                    voxl:~$ voxl-configure-opkg dev
                                    opkg install --force-reinstall --force-downgrade --force-depends --force-overwrite voxl-mapper_0.0.7.ipk

                                    Then everything seems to work so far!

                                    @Matthew-Booker
                                    I ran the below commands on voxl cross:
                                    ./install_build_deps.sh qrb5165 sdk-0.8
                                    ./build.sh qrb5165
                                    ./make_package.sh
                                    ./deploy_to_voxl.sh

                                    I ran voxl-mapper after this on the board and got the error 'voxl-mapper: symbol lookup error: voxl-mapper: undefined symbol: _ZNK7voxblox5LayerINS_9EsdfVoxelEE10saveToFileENSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb
                                    '

                                    I wanted to add arm64 to /etc/opkg/arch.conf but voxl2 uses apt. How to solve the above issue?

                                      That error occurs when theres a voxl-voxblox version mismatch. The version of voxl-voxblox on your voxl2 is older. On your voxl2 if you run the following it should update

                                      apt install voxl-voxblox
