Question about docker build environment: CMake version for docker build seems to be different than my installed version. Environment variable?

[jakoblabs]

Hi, Thankyou for putting together this repository for Docker! I am attempting to build for Orin Nano Development Kit. I have Jetpack 5.1.1 installed on Orin Nano. I start a build on Orin Nano using:

cd example docker build -t isaac-ros-base/packages:latest -f Dockerfile.isaac .\

The build continues, and then fails with:

_Starting >>> isaac_ros_common Starting >>> isaac_ros_test --- stderr: isaac_ros_common CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.23.2 or higher is required. You are running version 3.16.3

Failed <<< isaac_ros_common [0.61s, exited with code 1] Aborted <<< isaac_rostest [1.62s]

I am assuming CMake 3.16.3 is default shipping version with Jetpack 5.1.1?

I will simply update to the latest version of CMake. Is this the correct approach? Thanks for your help!

Here is a quick update: even after I updated to cmake 3.26.4, when running in isaac_ros_base/example directory:

docker build -t isaac-ros-base/packages:latest -f Dockerfile.isaac .

It still throws the error:

Starting >>> isaac_ros_common Starting >>> isaac_ros_test --- stderr: isaac_ros_common CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:9 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.23.2 or higher is required. You are running version 3.16.3

---

Failed <<< isaac_ros_common [0.64s, exited with code 1]

I did look in CMakeLists.txt and it is requiring a version later than CMake3.23.2. However I do not understand why docker build still seems to have 3.16.3 in the shell environment, when I did update to 3.26.4

Thanks again for your help! Bob

I ended up adding this into 'Dockerfile.isaac' script to fix the issue.
