Yarp: Compile without gstreamer

[diegoferigo]

If the libraries reported in https://github.com/robotology/yarp/pull/1346#issuecomment-334801437 are not installed, the build fails as follows.

The installed dependencies related to this problem currently installed when this problem happens are:

make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1
Makefile:834: recipe for target 'cmake_check_build_system' failed

Are these libraries required by all the installations now?

[Nicogene]

They are required if you want to compile h264 carrier, your problem seem related to the CMakeCache.txt.. Have you tried to delete it ? Or to do rm -rf * in the build directory?

[diegoferigo]

@Nicogene thanks for your comment, this happens with a clean build environment in my docker setup (hence it is fully reproducible).

I dug more into my build process and I figured out that the configuring of the project succeeds, is the second configuring which happens as first step of the building project that fails. I updated the first post with further details.

[Nicogene]

But it is strange that it performs the second configuration if the first succeeded :thinking: by the way I don't think it is related to gstreamer or h264 because it is disabled :
--- plugin yarpcar_h264: disabled (dependencies unsatisfied)

[drdanz]

@diegoferigo Can you try with YCM disabled?

[diegoferigo]

Yes I agree it is strange. I don't mind having the gstreamer packages installed in my system and I'm living fine with them, I just wanted to report this (low importance) issue for future reference. Feel free to pass at my desk ;)

@drdanz
With:

cmake -DCREATE_GUIS=ON -DCREATE_LIB_MATH=ON -DSKIP_ACE=ON -DYARP_USE_YCM=OFF ..

~The second configuring doesn't happen, and all works fine.~
Edit: cleaned the build and it fails with the same error

[drdanz]

Can you please try also CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_YCM=ON?

[diegoferigo]

With that option, the second configuring which happens executing make doesn't happen, all is fine with that.

[Nicogene]

@drdanz is it a YCM bug or yarp bug ? Shall we close this issue?

[drdanz]

YCM bug, the Find files were updated in YARP, but not in YCM...
Just leave this open, I will fix it tomorrow...

[Nicogene]

Just leave this open, I will fix it tomorrow...
@drdanz :smile:
