@SammyGlanville, thank you for reporting this. This is because you're trying to generate a ROS node on Windows. ROS (v1) doesn't run on Windows, but one may still need to generate a ROS node, move it to an embedded device and compile there. I will fix this so that it runs on Windows, but:

• The user will have to compile their optimiser on the target device
• File librosenbrock.a will be missing
• A warning will be given
