Looking at this:

Starting ==> tf2_bullet

I'd say this is actually an issue with tf2_bullet, and not with this package. If I'm correct it would be this line in CMakeLists.txt of tf2_bullet that is what runs into that error.

How have you setup your build environment? Can you list the steps you took before running catkin build?

[gavanderhoorn]

As for the bullet dependency itself, that actually maps onto libbullet-dev on Ubuntu Trusty (from here):

bullet:
  [..]
  trusty:
    apt:
      packages: [libbullet-dev]

Running rosdep should have resolved that for you.

found this one here http://packages.ros.org/ros-shadow-fixed/ubuntu/pool/main/r/ros-indigo-tf2-bullet/
Installed the package with command

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-tf2-bullet

After that

catkin build tf2_bullet

was successful.

Yes, that is what rosdep should have done for you. Did you run rosdep {check,install} --from-paths /path/to/your/ind_cal_ws/src --ignore-src before running catkin build?

After that

catkin build tf2_bullet

was successful.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, you don't need to build binary pkgs using catkin. That's the whole point: they've already been compiled. If you have a source checkout of tf2 in your workspace, that's a different (dependency) problem, but that is what rosdep should've sorted out for you.
