Generate Parameter Library error in ROS2: FOXY

[pathakarvindk]

While building the pkg, I am getting an error related to Generate Parameter Library.

I have cloned a pkg for Generate Parameter Library from (https://github.com/PickNikRobotics/generate_parameter_library) in ros2setup.

After that, I am getting an error related to rsl-config. For more details, screenshot is attached.

Can anyone give any direction w.r.t to this error.

Thank you

Dear @pathakarvindk, First of all, thank you very much for reaching us!

With regard to your issue, it seems that the wrong version of ros2_controllers has been imported:

• The ROS2 Foxy version of ros2_controllers (and joint_state_broadcaster in this case) does not require generate_parameter_library to be installed in the machine.
• The ROS2 Humble/Rolling version of ros2_controllers does.

I have checked in the README.md file and the instructions are wrong, it is the foxy branch of ros2_controllers the one that must be imported to our ros2setup repository. I have changed the instructions accordingly:

git clone https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_controllers.git -b foxy

Thank you very much for raising the issue, and please do let us know if it works now with the updated instructions.
