hello,
I have Jetson TK1 with Ubuntu 16.04 running on it.
I am running ROS Indigo on the same. Rtabmap(a feature of ROS) requires some packages to be installed and compiled on the machine you are using. Some of these codes are in C++. thee compilation of packages is done using catkin_make. this basically invokes the CMAKE command.
after doing this I encounter the following error
[i]
Base path: /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws
Source space: /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/src
Build space: /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/build
Devel space: /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/devel
Install space: /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/install
Running command: “make cmake_check_build_system” in “/home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/build”
– The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
The CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:
/usr/bin/c++
is not a full path to an existing compiler tool.
Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
variable “CXX” or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the full path
to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.
– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Makefile:274: recipe for target ‘cmake_check_build_system’ failed
make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1
Invoking “make cmake_check_build_system” failed
[/i]
After changing the environment variables for CXX compiler, the problem persists. Following are the command I followed:
export CXX=/usr/bin/cpp
echo ‘export CXX=“/usr/bin/cpp”’ >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
bashrc was updated with CXX filepath after this. Also, note that we had located cpp in /usr/bin/cpp
Post this I tried compiling atleast one simple code in C++
I have written the following simple hello world for c++
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << “Hello World”;
return 0;
}
when I try to compile this, I encounter the following
The program ‘gpp’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install gpp
Along with the recommended command I also try to reinstall the build essentials but the problm persists.
I believe it to be an issue of not being able to locate the gpp/c++ compiler
I am a novice to this field so if you could explain what exactly has happened, along with the solution, it will be of great help.
thanks!
