Build error

[mwlock]

Hey all !

I am facing the following error when running colcon build --symlink-install

For context, I am running ROS humble on Ubuntu 22.04

CMake Error at /opt/ros/humble/share/ament_cmake_python/cmake/ament_python_install_package.cmake:106 (add_custom_target):
  add_custom_target cannot create target
  "ament_cmake_python_symlink_choirbot_interfaces" because another target
  with the same name already exists.  The existing target is a custom target
  created in source directory
  "/home/matt/crazychoir_ws/src/crazychoir/ChoiRbot/choirbot_interfaces".

Apparently ament_python_install_package and rosidl_generate_interfaces cannot be run in the same package.... Nobody else faced this issue? https://github.com/ros2/rosidl_python/issues/141

I think the project doesn't support ROS2 Humble at the moment. I have same your problems some months ago.

Hi matthew-william-lock! As dbortoluzzi suggested, the project runs on ROS 2 Foxy. However, you are welcome to submit pull requests to the humble-devel branch if you have any updates or improvements to contribute. Your input is appreciated, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification!
