Compiling DJI Onboard-SDK: error: ‘fd_set’ does not name a type

While compiling the DJI Onboard SDK on a Fedora GNU/Linux we got the following error:

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:86: osdk-core/CMakeFiles/djiosdk-core.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:130: all] Error 2

To resolve this, we added to the file Onboard-SDK/osdk-core/platform/linux/inc/linux_serial_device.hpp the following include directive right after line 37 (which contained #define LINUXSERIALDEVICE_H):

#include <sys/select.h>

Then, we issued make again which terminated successfully.

Source: https://github.com/dji-sdk/Onboard-SDK

Compilation Commands:

git clone https://github.com/dji-sdk/Onboard-SDK;

cd Onboard-SDK;

mkdir build;

cd build;

cmake ..;

#Modify the file Onboard-SDK/osdk-core/platform/linux/inc/linux_serial_device.hpp and add #include <sys/select.h> at the top

make all;

# Something

# Make profit
