Unable to compile the robot-log-visualizer

[fils99]

I tried to install the visualizer in the superbuild and I got the following error

Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × Getting requirements to build wheel did not run successfully.

      Your build configuration is incomplete and previously worked by accident!
      setuptools_scm requires setuptools>=61

      Suggested workaround if applicable:
       - migrating from the deprecated setup_requires mechanism to pep517/518
         and using a pyproject.toml to declare build dependencies
         which are reliably pre-installed before running the build tools

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I tried to recompile again in a clean branch and it worked

Why are you building the repo from source? How are you installing yarp? If you install yarp with robotology-superbuild, I suggest to use robotology-superbuild for robot-log-visualizer.

[fils99]

I was updating the robot-log-visualizer, in the end it went fine

Ack, but how was it installed in the first place?

[fils99]

With robotology-superbuild

[traversaro]

Ahh, so the error comes from the robotology-superbuild, that make sense, sorry for the misunderstanding.
