Issues compiling rosbag_storage on OSX

Compiling Ros (Jade) on OSX using this tutorial, I get the following error for rosbag_storage while running ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release:

ros/ros_catkin_ws/src/ros_comm/rosbag_storage/src/buffer.cpp:71:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert' assert(buffer_);

And then a bunch of errors of the kind:

/usr/local/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:916:9: error: use of undeclared identifier 'assert' BOOST_ASSERT( deleter_.use_count() <= 1 );

Where could that come from?

Solution

  • Looks like it was coming from a conflict with GStreamer, like in this issue. Just removing /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Headers/assert.h was enough to solve the problem:

    mv /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Headers/assert.h /Library/Frameworks/GStreamer.framework/Headers/assert.h.bak
