Failed to build uwb_plugin

atinfinity commented 1 month ago

I tried to build uwb_plugin. In this time, I used docker container.

docker run -it ros:humble-perception bash

And, I run the following command in docker container.

apt install libignition-cmake2-dev
apt install libignition-rendering6-dev
apt install libignition-gazebo6-dev
git clone https://github.com/jacobrejin/uwb_plugin.git
cd uwb_plugin/build
cmake ..

As a result, it occurs the following error.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findignition-rendering6.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "ignition-rendering6", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "ignition-rendering6" (requested version 6.6.4) with any of the following
  names:

    ignition-rendering6Config.cmake
    ignition-rendering6-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "ignition-rendering6" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "ignition-rendering6_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "ignition-rendering6" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I changed CMakeLists.txt. As a result, I could build uwb_plugin.

-find_package(ignition-rendering6 6.6.4 EXACT REQUIRED)
+ign_find_package(ignition-rendering6 REQUIRED)

Are you planning on adding new features to the plugin? If not, please use the provided libuwb_plugin.so as is. Just set the Gazebo plugin PATH to the path where the file is located.

If you want to build the plugin from source, you are missing a crucial step, which is to build the ignition-rendering library first as the plugin uses a modified version of the ignition-rendering library, which is why it is an EXACT REQUIREMENT. I will add repo and the steps required to build the ignition-rendering library and update the same in few days.

@jacobrejin Thank you for your comment.

Are you planning on adding new features to the plugin?

Yes.

Just set the Gazebo plugin PATH to the path where the file is located.

I think that I need to set IGN_GAZEBO_SYSTEM_PLUGIN_PATH. Is my understanding right?

I understood that this project uses ignition-rendering 6.6.4.

# Find the custom Ignition Rendering library
find_package(ignition-rendering6 6.6.4 EXACT REQUIRED)

@jacobrejin I checked https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-rendering/tags. But I could not find 6.6.4

jacobrejin commented 1 month ago

Yes you need to set the plugin path variable IGN_GAZEBO_SYSTEM_PLUGIN_PATH.

You cannot find 6.6.4 as it a custom build of the rendering Library which you will have to build from source. Give me some time will upload the source code for the rendering Library.
