Build failed when VISP is installed from source code

[jifu23]

Hi, I got a problem when I was building this repo.
Environment: ubuntu 22.04, ROS rolling.
When the VISP used in ros is installed from the latest source code, I get the following error when building vision_visp:

$ colcon build --symlink-install
Starting >>> visp_bridge
Starting >>> visp_tracker
Finished <<< visp_bridge [8.78s]
Starting >>> visp_camera_calibration

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:45 (add_executable):

but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for
an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

CMake Generate step failed. Build files cannot be regenerated correctly.

Summary: 1 package finished [30.1s]

2 packages aborted: visp_hand2eye_calibration visp_tracker
3 packages had stderr output: visp_camera_calibration visp_hand2eye_calibration visp_tracker
2 packages not processed

But, when the VISP is installed via sudo apt-get install ros-rolling-visp, I didn't get these error. I would like to know why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thank you!

I solved it by explicitly linking against Boost work mentioned in https://github.com/lagadic/visp/issues/780. But I got a new problem:

I have same question, did you resolve it?

[fspindle]

Are you building the rolling branch ?

Hi, I solved installing the python library rosbags with:
pip install rosbags
