Issue with compiling argos3 system-wide (linking error for argos3_prof) about argos3 HOT 18 CLOSED

Hi Danesh, support for Ubuntu 14.04 ended a long time ago. Can you upgrade to either 16.04 or 18.04 LTS?

from argos3.

Hi Danesh, Ubuntu 14.04 is not supported anymore because the version of Qt shipped with it is too old. To be able to support both the current Mac OSX and Ubuntu, we had to make a cutoff at Ubuntu 16.04. Anything older than that won't work anymore.

Many apologies for the typo. I am using Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS. The errors reported were with the latest commit of argos3.

Thanks,
Danesh.

In theory argos_prof should never be compiled, it's intended only for me to do profiling. Have you installed google-perftools because you saw that CMake was looking for it? ARGoS will compile fine if you remove google-perftools. In the meantime I'll fix this compilation issue.

from argos3.

No, google-perftools is not installed.

from argos3.

It might be called gperftools, but argos-prof is only compiled when it is detected in the system. BTW, why are you trying to compile ARGoS from the sources, rather than using the precompiled binaries?

from argos3.

I would like to implement the Thymio robot in argos, hence the compilation from source (thanks for your advise!).

Btw, I just installed google-perftools, and now argos3 compiles.

If you plan on making a new robot, please follow the blueprint of the KheperaIV and make a separate repository. It's much simpler to work that way.

I'm checking on my virtual machine what happens with the compilation...

from argos3.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion.

from argos3.

... and it worked. I can't make sense of your installation trying to compile argos3_prof. That should not happen. Can you share your CMakeCache.txt when the error occurs?

from argos3.

If you check the CMake script here:
https://github.com/ilpincy/argos3/blob/master/src/testing/CMakeLists.txt#L73

you see that argos3_prof is only compiled if you're compiling the simulator and you have Google Perftools installed. I tried on the VM I use to make packages (no gperftools) and the compilation is successful. I don't understand what's going on on your machine...

CMakeLists.txt

from argos3.

I need the file build/CMakeCache.txt, which is generated when you run cmake

from argos3.

Apologies, posted the wrong one. Here you go:
CMakeCache.txt

from argos3.

Reading your file:

//Google PerfTools header location
GOOGLEPERFTOOLS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/google

//Google PerfTools library location
GOOGLEPERFTOOLS_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so

Those should be set to NOT-FOUND.

from argos3.

Even when I apt-get remove google-perftools, it still seems to find these files:

//Google PerfTools header location
GOOGLEPERFTOOLS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/google

//Google PerfTools library location
GOOGLEPERFTOOLS_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libtcmalloc.so

Not sure if any other library is involved here.

from argos3.

So it does seem that you have google perftools installed somehow. Maybe you installed it manually? Anyway, it's enough to remove it and you won't have compilation issues. Or install the official package, which also seems to have worked. Either way, it seems to be a problem specific to your machine.

from argos3.

Okay, many thanks.
