ubuntu 18.04安装kalibr（详细步骤）

1.安装ros

安装melodic版本。

2.安装依赖环境

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-rosinstall ipython libeigen3-dev libboost-all-dev doxygen libopencv-dev ros-melodic-vision-opencv ros-melodic-image-transport-plugins ros-melodic-cmake-modules software-properties-common software-properties-common libpoco-dev python-matplotlib python-scipy python-git python-pip ipython libtbb-dev libblas-dev liblapack-dev python-catkin-tools libv4l-dev

sudo pip install python-igraph --upgrade

3.创建工作空间

mkdir -p ~/kalibr_workspace/src

cd ~/kalibr_workspace

source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash

catkin init

catkin config --extend /opt/ros/melodic

catkin config --merge-devel # Necessary for catkin_tools >= 0.4. catkin config --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

4.下载源码

cd ~/kalibr_workspace/src

git clone https://github.com/ethz-asl/Kalibr.git

5.编译源码

cd ~/kalibr_workspace

catkin build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -j4

编译时我遇到了下载suitesparse过久甚至失败的问题：在安装kalibr时的suitesprse库时，对应的cmakelists中会通过wget下载压缩包，若无法下载则整个kalibr都无法成功安装。那么可以进行一处修改，将suitesprse的CMakeLists.txt的如下内容：

ExternalProject_Add(suitesparse_src

)

替换成以下内容：

ExternalProject_Add(suitesparse_src
  CMAKE_ARGS -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=${CMAKE_C_COMPILER} -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}
  DOWNLOAD_COMMAND rm -f SuiteSparse-${VERSION}.tar.gz && wget -O SuiteSparse-${VERSION}.tar.gz "https://github.com/jluttine/suitesparse/archive/v${VERSION}.tar.gz"

)

6.设置环境变量

首先进行编辑系统的.bashrc

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

在最后一行添加以下内容保存

source ~/kalibr_workspace/devel/setup.bash

为避免电脑重启生效需要键入

source ~/kalibr_workspace/devel/setup.bash
