catkin build fails to compile - ros

I am trying to compile a build file for a sample tutorial in ROS packages. The following shows up in the Terminal,
Errors << catkin_tools_prebuild:cmake /home/comet/mybot_ws/logs/catkin_tools_prebuild/build.cmake.009.log

It appears that it is trying to access the python compiler in an anaconda3 folder but I have it uninstalled recently. Any ideas how I could modify the files so that it points to /usr/bin python ? Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you very much!

So there are two possibilities that your environment is tainted
Your PATH variable is still tainted by pointing to your anaconda location. See this question for reference and remove the anaconda entry. Don't forget to open a new terminal to apply the changes
You've created the local catkin workspace while you've sourced the anaconda environment. Thus, you just need to delete build and devel in your current workspace and just rebuild everything from scratch.
Processing both steps one after another should fix the problem.

Just resolved it recently, I have executed catkin clean before catkin build.

catkin_make not update executable files

Same question as this post.
Sometimes making little changes in my cpp files, then catkin_make to compile the workspace to update the executable file, and rosrun the node again, but found that the executable file is still the old version.
How to solve this issue without deleting build/ and compiling again as said in the above post?
Thanks.

Lightgbm gpu installation

I am trying to run Lightgbm with gpu on Spyder. For installing the library I tried many commands but most have failed.
I tried "pip install lightgbm --install-option=--gpu" in anaconda prompt and got the
error.
The I followed the https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/blob/master/docs/Installation-Guide.rst#build-gpu-version
I installed git, vs 2022, cmake and opencl(Cuda Toolkit)
For boost binaries I copied the boost_1_78_0 file in "C:\Boost".
But the file doesn't contain any "lib64-msvc-14.0"(or similar folder). This is the first problem but it contain libs folder so I gave that path(Hope that's right).
But then I get this error:
CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.
"CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Users/User Name/LightGBM/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt"
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Problems when building Drake from source with cmake

I am trying to build and install Drake from source in order to get support for Mosek. I keep running into trouble, however. For the record, I am running macOS Catalina.
Right now my approach has been this:
Clone drake from github to a location on my computer (from https://github.com/RobotLocomotion/drake.git)
Install prereqs
with ./setup/mac/install_prereqs.sh
Run bazel build //... Make a
directory called build and cd build cmake .. and then make
and make install
And in my C++ project, which I build using cmake, I add this to CMakeLists.txt:
link_directories(drakelocation/build/install/lib)
include_directories(drakelocation/build/install/include)
However, when I try to build my project, I get an error that Drake is unable to locate Eigen: 'Eigen/Core' file not found. I was able to work around this by adding:
target_link_libraries(my_lib Eigen3::Eigen) to my CMakeLists.txt
I found this a bit strange, as I expect that Drake includes Eigen when it is built, but at least this made me able to get a bit further.
After this I get a bunch of messages of the type:
no member named 'signbit' in the global namespace
i.e. it seems like Drake suddenly is missing all the standard C++ libraries. I have not yet been able to fix this issue, so this is where I am currently stuck.
Do you have any suggestions, or have you encountered any similar problems before?
Other information:
Using find_package(drake) does not work with my current approach at all (cmake is not able to locate drake-config.cmake). Am I missing something here that is required to make this work? Where does cmake expect libraries to be installed, and how do I install them in that place?
I have also tried skipping the entire bazel build //... step, going directly to the cmake .. step, which did not seem to make any difference.
In between every different build approach I have run bazel clean --expunge to make sure that nothing sticks around from the previous run.
Thanks!
You need to tell CMake where your Drake installation is located:
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /absolute/path/to/drakelocation/build/install)
find_package(drake REQUIRED)
add_library(my_lib ...)
target_link_libraries(my_lib drake::drake)
This ensures you have all the necessary compiler and linker flags. Setting the include directory to simply /absolute/path/to/drakelocation/build/install/include is insufficient since it does not contain the include directories of the various dependencies of Drake.
Note that you do not need to call bazel yourself before calling cmake. When you run make install, it will call bazel internally.
Thanks #Jamie that solved the find_package() problem I had.
I still had some trouble with the build. Turns out that there was something wrong with my default SDK path, and that setting "CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT" according to this: Catalina C++: Using <cmath> headers yield error: no member named 'signbit' in the global namespace after an update to XCode did the trick.
After this, I got a lot of strange error messages from Eigen, complaining that i.e. MatrixXd was not defined in the namespace 'Eigen'. For some reason, uninstalling it with brew uninstall eigen and then downloading and building eigen from source solved those problems.
It now works!

fatal error: opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp: No such file or directory

I am trying to build this code:
https://docs.opencv.org/3.2.0/d5/d6f/tutorial_feature_flann_matcher.html
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with CLion 2017.3 and have OpenCV 3.4 installed.
xfeatures2d.hpp can't be found on the system.
I have looked at many different problems on the internet, but couldn't find a solution.
Any help?
You have to include cmake comiplation flag to opencv OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH and set it to the opencv_contrib/modules.
cmake -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../opencv_contrib/modules
Here's what I had to do to compile OpenCV with xfeatures2d:
Download opencv_contrib (I took a release from the releases page). This step is what gives us xfeatures2d.
Unpack the tarball somewhere, e.g., ~/src/opencv_contrib-4.5.5
When configuring OpenCV (the main OpenCV source like opencv-4.5.2) with CMake, add the following option to cmake command line (adjusting the value to be your actual path to the modules subdirectory of the opencv_contrib tarball):
-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=$HOME/src/opencv_contrib-4.5.5/modules/
Now just build as you normally would and install.
The above actions gave me the expected file (among others): /usr/include/opencv4/opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp.

Pub does not download dependencies on Windows 7 after the update to lib v2 (SDK 0.3.1_r17328)

After the update to the version 0.3.1_r17328 of Dart SDK and Dart Editor I have some trouble to import some library particulary Args library. I have the same problem both directly importing Args or importing Web_ui where Args is one of the dependencies.
Here is my pubspec.yaml:
name: notes
description: A sample application
dependencies:
web_ui: 0.3.0+1
or:
name: notes
description: A sample application
dependencies:
args: 0.3.1+1
Here is the error generate from build.dart
Unable to open file: C:/Users/Fabio/Dropbox/progetti/note/packages/args/args.dart'package:web_ui/component_build.dart': Error: line 25 pos 1: library handler failed
import 'package:args/args.dart';
'file:///C:/Users/Fabio/Dropbox/progetti/note/build.dart': Error: line 1 pos 1: library handler failed
import 'package:web_ui/component_build.dart';
I solved the problem. It seems that the Cache folder (Pub) has been corrupted.
I have deleted the folder Cache: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Pub
Then i run pub install from command line and it works.
Unfortunately, I was getting the same error with my windows XP machine.
In the end, I logged into my windows 7 machine and was able to
download the packages, zipped them up and pasted the libraries into my
windows XP dart editor. Success!
I had no reason to believe I had the exact proxy issue #shindokaku had as I am using my home computer.
I tried all the suggestions on deleting the .cache files, pub.lock files and the packages folder and retrying. I uninstalled dart editor and tried again. I also tried using the git resources to download web-ui and running commands through the command line to no avail
Including suggestions in this similar questions:
cannot-find-referenced-source-packages
is-there-a-workaround-for-pub-dependency-resolution-through-proxies
This problem has been haunting me over and over for a few weeks. I am not using Windows, so this answer is not intended to help the original poster who is using Windows 7.
If you are using Linux here are the steps I use to repair corrupted pub cache.
Go to the top level directory of your app. You should see at least pubspec.lock, pubspec.yaml, a folder named packages, and a folder named web.
Delete your pubspec.lock, and packages folder.
[Make sure you aren't storing your own libraries in the packages folder]
cd ~/dart/myApp/
rm -r packages
rm pubspec.lock
Now once you have removed these files:
pub cache repair
Note 1: if your dart-sdk is not in your systems $PATH, than you will want to use the absolute path to the sdk when using the above command. Comment if you need that explained.
Note 2: This is working solution with Dart 1.5.3. I have not tested this on earlier versions.
Try deleting your pubspec.lock file and packages directory in the root folder of the project. Then run pub install again, when things get wacky thats what I do.
You should try to run pub update. I have sometimes found that this doesn't work as expected from the editor, but generally works quite smoothly when called from the command line.
