error caused by spdlog when integrating Meta-ros to existing yocto project

[willofdiamond]

I am trying to integrate master branch of meta-ros with an existing yocto project. My main goal is to get ros fox distro on to raspberry pi 3. I had attached my BBlayer and local files for reference.

Error I am getting the following error.

what meta-ros revision are you building? current dunfell and master branch as spdlog_1.7.0.bbappend.

spdlog_1.8.0.bbappend is only in my shr-project fork and in this PR: https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/pull/740 if you're trying to build from this PR, then you need to have corresponding newer meta-oe from https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/pull/739 and if you're really building from dunfell branches, then to enable meta-ros-backports-gatesgarth layer in your bblayers.conf.

See https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/commit/9ee61883026bcd2a88a21683591177fa4674e523 https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/pull/739/commits/e6da3c108c17c8b15b5651bcea80583fa08ebb80 https://github.com/ros/meta-ros/commit/0d2a86e1937cc71a3eb04568be6936085a782101

My current revision is 433e7808c tag: dunfell/milestones/14-21-g433e7808c

[shr-project]

433e7808c existed shortly only in my fork on shr-project.

You need to use it with the new meta-ros-backports-gatesgarth layer as mentioned before.

And it would be better to switch to some revision which exists in one of ros/meta-ros branches (433e7808c doesn't)

$ git branch -a --contains 433e7808c
