Maplab是一个开源的vSLAM项目。
按照github上的指导执行，执行编译命令catkin build maplab，直接报错。
(最开始报的是catkin_simple的错误，后来在结局问题过程中想做记录的时候，报的错就是aslam_cv相关的错误了。)

CMake Error at /home/swing/maplab_ws/devel/share/catkin_simple/cmake/catkin_simple-extras.cmake:38 (find_package):

If "aslam_cv_common" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:5 (catkin_simple)
在网络上查解决问题的方法，都没有查到。
在maplab_dependencies目录里面，是可以找到catkin_simple的。尝试把catkin_simple复制到maplab_ws/src目录下（和maplab源码同一级目录）。
再执行catkin build maplab，catkin_simple问题消失，又报hand_eye_calibration的错误。
把hand_eye_calibration复制进去，hand_eye_calibration的错误消失，又报aslam相关错误。
再检查maplab_dependencies，发现下面子目录都有了，但是里面的文件都不存在。maplab_dependencies是通过github网页以zip方式下载下来的。重试几次之后，发现文件都没有下载下来。
在办公机器windows系统上，重新通过git命令行下载，然后复制到ubuntu系统下编译，发现读取xml文件出错。检查之后发现，是公司的加密系统对文件加了密。只好在Ubuntu下直接用git命令下载，但是速度很慢，很慢。
Errors << protobuf_catkin:make /home/swing/maplab_ws/logs/protobuf_catkin/build.make.002.log
- 没有安装autoconf工具
autoreconf -f -i -Wall,no-obsolete
./autogen.sh: 38: ./autogen.sh: autoreconf: not found
- 下载问题
国内下载github速度太慢，以及墙的问题，会导致make过程失败。
参考这篇文章：Maplab编译安装，可以把源码下载之后放到对应目录。
下载https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/3.2.0.zip放到
~/maplab_ws/build/opencv3_catkin/opencv3_contrib-prefix/src目录下，并命名为3.2.0.zip。下载https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/3.2.0.zip并放到
~/maplab_ws/build/opencv3_catkin/opencv3_src-prefix/src目录下并命名为3.2.0.zip。下载https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.6.1/protobuf-2.6.1.tar.gz并放到
~/maplab_ws/build/protobuf_catkin/protobuf_src-prefix/src并命名为protobuf-2.6.1.tar.gz。把下面几句话添加到
~/maplab_ws/build/protobuf_catkin/protobuf_src-prefix/src/protobuf_src-stamp/download-protobuf_src.cmake最上面。
opencv和opencv_contrib库类似。ceres
ceres编译过程中，在ceres_src-stamp目录下，不会生成download-ceres_src.cmake文件，所以处理要稍有不同。
修改文件：~/maplab_ws/src/maplab_dependencies/3rdparty/ceres_catkin/CMakeLists.txt
把这一行中的库地址：
GIT_REPOSITORY https://ceres-solver.googlesource.com/ceres-solver
改成：
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/ceres-solver/ceres-solver
还没有结束，这里下载的是最新版本，如果直接使用，会报错，
/home/swing/maplab_ws/src/maplab/algorithms/map-optimization-legacy/src/test/6dof-pose-graph-gen.cc:628:11: error: ‘struct ceres::Solver::Options’ has no member named ‘num_linear_solver_threads’
options.num_linear_solver_threads = 8;
ceres版本不一致，下载的ceres版本是最新的，num_linear_solver_threads这个字段已经没有了。
把文件中的
set(CERES_TAG 0352a521a654a29257077679c5a7ec9c35f45c7e) #version 1.12
改成：
set(CERES_TAG 029799d757b4ed2be5af64899178928f18cb6e28) #github version 1.12.0
编译过程中，可能还会出错，可以采用以下方法。
把源码下载后，直接放到以下目录：
~/maplab_ws/build/ceres_catkin/ceres_src-prefix/src/ceres_src。
在文件
~/maplab_ws/build/ceres_catkin/ceres_src-prefix/tmp/ceres_src-gitclone.cmake
最上面增加：
if(EXISTS "~/maplab_ws/build/ceres_catkin/ceres_src-prefix/src/ceres_src" )
return()
endif()
- opencv3中ippicv的downloader.cmake找不到
CMake Error at cmake/OpenCVFindIPP.cmake:243 (include):
include could not find load file:
/home/swing/maplab_ws/build/opencv3_catkin/opencv3_src/3rdparty/ippicv/downloader.cmake
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/OpenCVFindLibsPerf.cmake:37 (include)
CMakeLists.txt:558 (include)
这个问题，可能是编译过程中下载失败后引起的，可以从opencv-3.2.0.zip中解压后复制到对应目录。
- 由于@符号导致下载的目录为空
maplab/aslam_cv2
maplab/tools/maplab_test_data
maplab_dependencies/3rdparty
maplab_dependencies/internal
前面已经提到，github上的目录带@符号，导致git命令行下载的目录为空，可以通过网页下载后复制到对应的目录。
最后编译结果：
