catkin_make error for drone_gui on Ubuntu 14.04 + ROS Indigo

[azwadsabik]

Hi,

I'm attempting to build your package using the following:

cd catkin_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/tum-vision/tum_ardrone.git -b indigo-devel
cd ..
rosdep install tum_ardrone
catkin_make

but run into the following error:

[ 69%] Built target drone_autopilot
[ 89%] Built target drone_stateestimation
usr/include/boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hp:50: Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN"
make[2]: *** [tum_ardrone/src/UINode/moc_RosThread.cxx] Error 1
make[1]: *** [tum_ardrone/CMakeFiles/drone_gui.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Invoking "make -j4 -l4" failed

I am unsure how to approach this - any advice?

This is on Ubuntu 14.04, and I believe I have Boost 1.54 installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey I'm late but I just got started messing with drones. QT and boost seems to not always play nice together. In 16.04 it gets the same error because of qt5.
Adding this to workaround your #include for all packages giving issues will work around qt5 since things are ported to qt5.

Basically you are adding 2 lines.
#ifndef Q_MOC_RUN
#endif

It ends up looking like this in RosThread.h.

#ifndef Q_MOC_RUN
#include "cvd/thread.h"
#include "tum_ardrone/filter_state.h"
#include "std_msgs/String.h"
#include "geometry_msgs/Twist.h"
#include "ardrone_autonomy/Navdata.h"
#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "sensor_msgs/Joy.h"
#include "std_srvs/Empty.h"
#include "std_msgs/Empty.h"
#endif

Thank you so much.
