Error when install Maplab

[trung1309vn]

Hi all. First, I want to thank you for this great project. I'm having some problems while installing the Maplab. My PC specs is as the following:
- Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic, 64 bit
- ROS: melodic

Everything seem smoothly run until I use catkin build maplab . It sent me a bunch of errors, including brisk package error and a lot of abandonded packages. My catkin config and the error is as follow:

Hi @trung1309vn

Compatibility with 18.04 on the master branch (there are some newer release branches that should fix it) is not quite there, but it isn't hard to do, there should be only a few, repeating compilation issues throughout the code such as:

• all these "function" related errors: just add #import <functional> to those files

The last package is missing a library called readline, should have been installed IMO during the installation instructions but maybe check and install it

Hope that helps

Hi @mfehr , thank you for your answer. I'll try your suggestion asap.

[keithito]

It looks like there's an open PR to fix the missing #include <functional> in ethzasl_brisk:
ethz-asl/ethzasl_brisk#109

[trung1309vn]

Hello @keithito , I really appeciate for your help. I'll check the link as you suggested.

I have successfully built Maplab by following as suggested.
Thank you all for helping me.
