Pcl: Cannot compile pcl 1.8 on Ubuntu 14.04

:warning: This is a issue tracker, please use our mailing list for questions: www.pcl-users.org. :warning:

upon doing cmake I get a warning:

and if I ignore them even more warnings (still in cmake):

Then after calling make, it fails with:

My Environment

• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 14.04
• Titan X Pascal
• Cuda_8.0.61
• Compiler: gcc 4.8.4
• PCL Version: 1.8

Other remarks

I already tried installing via ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:v-launchpad-jochen-sprickerhof-de/pcl
but also apt-get could not install pcl:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpcl-all : Depends: libpcl-1.7-all but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I already installed tons of requirements but the problem persists

• VTK (fresh from github --> is there any special version I need, maybe the newest is not compatible?)
• FLANN (both from github and via apt-get)

Any idea what goes wrong? (I've already wasted half a day)

This is a issue tracker, please use our mailing list for questions: www.pcl-users.org.
The warnings you get are as expected. From the build output I'd say you have problems with your flann installation. Possibly related #804.

[mgarbade]

That was the trick! Thanks a lot! (I wasted hours on that sh**)
I kicked out the manually compiled flann ( from git) and instead installed the system version
sudo apt-get install libflann-dev
Then the compilation worked fine.

Other packages I installed (but were unrelated to my bug / probably unnecessary) - just for completeness:

sudo apt-get install g++ cmake cmake-gui doxygen mpi-default-dev openmpi-bin openmpi-common libeigen3-dev libboost-all-dev libvtk5.8-qt4 libvtk5.8 libqhull* libusb-dev libgtest-dev git-core freeglut3-dev pkg-config build-essential libxmu-dev libxi-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev graphviz mono-complete qt-sdk libeigen3-dev

[taketwo]

mono-complete is definitely irrelevant :laughing:
