Hey,
I am trying to build and test a custom code on the voxl-emulator. It uses OpenCV and MV. It compiles fine but whenever I try to run the output file, it throws this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Resource deadlock avoided
Aborted (core dumped)

I even tried compiling an empty program with an empty main function and it still throws the same error. Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong ?

The emulator is meant to be a build environment and not for running code, this is likely the source of the issue, does your code encounter this problem when running on a voxl?
