What would be required to use mc_rtc with Ubuntu 22? #400

Hi, We might be interested in using mc_rtc with ubuntu 22. It seems in the webpage it says mainly ubuntu 18 and 20. What would be needed to be used with Ubuntu 22? Is it just a matter of not being tested yet or is there something not working with it?

Hi @fjandrad

The documentation should mention 22.04 indeed :)

Since v2.6.0 packages are available for 22.04 and ROS2 iron.

To build from source you can use the deprecated build-and-install method but this does build ROS support into mc_rtc.

I'm working on updating mc-rtc-superbuild to handle 22.04 and ROS2.

There is also no ROS2 version of mc_rtc_ros or mc_rtc_ros_control for now.

The documentation website had not been updated since April but it should be fixed with https://github.com/jrl-umi3218/mc_rtc/commit/d228037e623d812692f33af2e9dd87a782b1722d

I'm working on updating mc-rtc-superbuild to handle 22.04 and ROS2.

This is now working correctly. mc-rtc-superbuild will install ROS2 Iron and use colcon to build ROS dependencies.

I have also confirmed the ROS2 plugin works correctly starting from https://github.com/jrl-umi3218/mc_rtc/releases/tag/v2.9.2

I'm going to close this issue but feel free to open a new one if you encounter issues with 22.04 or the framework
