Compilation error on catkin build

[lokijota]

I'm getting this on Ubuntu 14.04, with gcc 4.9:

Starting >>> davis_ros_driver

---

Errors << davis_ros_driver:make /home/mg/logs/davis_ros_driver/build.make.000.log
make[2]: *** No rule to make target /home/mg/devel/.private/davis_ros_driver/lib/libcaer.so', needed by /home/mg/devel/.private/davis_ros_driver/lib/davis_ros_driver/davis_ros_driver'. Stop.

ANy ideas? newbie into all of this, a bit lost.

I have the same problem, which i can solve by pointing the cmake file at the libcaer.so directly. but after doing this i seem to have the davis driver crash whenever i try to run it.

We are currently looking into this issue. Can you try to run catkin config --merge-devel before catkin build and see whether that resolves the issue?

Thanks elisam,
using catkin config --merge-devel prevented catkin build from working with the error

"Error: The current devel space layout, linked,is incompatible with the configured layout, merged."

However when built with catkin_make everything works perfectly now.

Thanks
