Problem to build the package

[jokla]

Hi,

I have a problem to build the package Romeo. I have Ubuntu 13.04 and I am using ROS Hydro.

I cloned the repository in my workspace with :
git clone https://github.com/laas/romeo.git --recursive

After a catkin_make I get this error:

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'romeo_description'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(romeo_description)
Warning: failed to compute the version number, 'git describe' failed:
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /home)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

How can I solve it?

Thank you

Hello,

Sorry for the late answer.
Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the bug on my hydro instllation.
Still, regarding the git describe issue, I guess this is because the tags were not properly defined for this repository.
I have pushed additional tags with the correct syntax, so now the git describe command works

Does that solve your problem?

Hello,
Thank you very much for the answer. Unfortunately I have still the same error. Which branch should I use? the master? Because if I am not wrong I don't see a new commit.

Thank again,

Best Regards

Hello,

There wasn't any commit, since I just added tags (v0.1.0 and v0.2.0) (cf https://github.com/laas/romeo/releases).
Normally, simply running a git pull should allow retrieving them.

Hence, if you go in your romeo folder, and type git describe, you should have this:
v0.2.0-24-g43968fe
Could you confirm me that you have this result when you run this command?
Otherwise can you show me the result of
git tag
?

You may need to run git fetch --tag depending on your git version.

Hello,

Thank you for your answers. Yes I confirm that I have the same result (v0.2.0-24-g43968fe) running git describe but I have still the same initial error. I tried also to run git fetch --tag.

Thank for your time.
