Unable to compile when XSENS_MVN_USE_SDK is ON

[GiulioRomualdi]

When I try to compile the wearables with the option XSENS_MVN_USE_SDK the compilation fails with a linking error.

The xsens sdk has been installed following https://github.com/robotology/human-dynamics-estimation/wiki/Set-up-Machine-for-running-HDE#xsens-only-for-windows

Have you checked if that file exists?

[GiulioRomualdi]

I don't know if it's related but if I compiled wearables from the superbuild I get

I guess we can just switch to use C++17 and fix the error, right?

[GiulioRomualdi]

@S-Dafarra updated ycm to ycm-0.12 and then he recompiled the superbuild. After that, the error disappeared.

I don't know if this is related

This does not seem to be related. Are you able to compile wearables on its own and also the XSensMVN library even by fixing the experimental/filesystem usage?

[traversaro]

Actually the error should have been suppressed by #82, are you sure that you simply did not have an older commit of wearables, or that you not did run CMake again after updating wearables?

@GiulioRomualdi do you think this can be possibly the cause of your problem?
Can we close this issue?

After a recent git pull from upstream, the compilation was good but a new issue #91 was observed by @GiulioRomualdi

So, this issue can be closed. (Checked with @GiulioRomualdi)
