@jrutgeer I think the gz_find_package
cmake command is added by the the gz-cmake3
package.
you should be able to add them via
find_package(gz-cmake3 REQUIRED)
I just realised that you probably already knew that. but I'll keep the comment here for posterity reasons
I tried to compile a gz-sim system plugin outside the Gazebo source directory based on the tutorial, but it is incomplete and not fully correct, e.g.:
This should probably rather be
add_library(SampleSystem SHARED SampleSystem.cc SampleSystem2.cc)
https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-sim/blob/e19f26d429c00dedabd596cd82344dbaedad3cc0/tutorials/create_system_plugins.md?plain=1#L92But also the
gz_find_package
commands are unknown, unless you figure out which packages to include so they are defined. https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-sim/blob/e19f26d429c00dedabd596cd82344dbaedad3cc0/tutorials/create_system_plugins.md?plain=1#L88It took me a lot of trial and error to no avail.
In the end I realized that the ros_gz_project_template repository actually holds a nice and up to date example wrt building a system plugin.
Instead of changing this tutorial, I submitted this PR for an extra readme and clarification of the
CMakeLists.txt
file, as I think extra clarifications have a wider reach if included in that repository, compared to (only) being added to this tutorial.For this tutorial, I think the best solution would be to update it to refer to the
ros_gz_project_template
repository:In any case the tutorial should refer to the ros_gz_project_template repository.
