Colcon Build Error

[CodeBravish]

Describe the bug Running colcon build --symlink-install returns the following error. I tried removing ros-humble-hardware-interface and reinstalling with rosdep but the error remains identical.

Hi,

Did u use the latest version on the main branch? This has been tested against a clean install of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using apt ros-humble-desktop packages.

Did u setup the ROS environment correctly? Run source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash or add this to your profile, so it's initialized every time.

Kind regards, Randy

After a reinstall of all ROS packages, I was able to build. Although with these warnings:

Sorry for the hasty issue post, kinda on crunch brain right now.

@CodeBravish I'm aware of the warnings. Most of them (if not all warnings) are unused parameters. They have not been removed to resolve the warning as they still have to be implemented correctly.

Kind regards, Randy
