Frequently asked questions#

I get compiler errors related to missing Foxglove files.#

The compiler error looks similar to:

1In file included from mpmca/src/visualization/automotive_prediction_path_convertor.cpp:7:
2/mpmca/include/mpmca/visualization/automotive_prediction_path_convertor.hpp:8:10: fatal error: foxglove/FrameTransform.pb.h: No such file or directory
3    8 | #include "foxglove/FrameTransform.pb.h"
4      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5compilation terminated.

You probably forgot to initialize all submodules before running cmake ... Remove the contents of the build folder (rm -rf build/*), run git submodules update --init, then cd build and cmake ... Running make should now run without errors.

I try to use the OMSF inside the devcontainer, but it does not work.#

Although the OMSF is a dependency of MPMCA (and therefore contained within the development container image), it is not supposed to work itself inside the container. The OMSF has a few dependencies to run offline optimizations which are very large and therefore not installed. MPMCA uses parts of the OMSF for generating model code (using CasADi), but never actually runs optimizations using OMSF. If you want to use the OMSF directly, follow the instructions in the OMSF readme at their GitHub page.
